Despite Sherlock Holmes being surely the most adapted literary character in history, his presence in videogames hasn’t, until recently, been very prominent. This could be to do with the inherent difficulties in making a game about being Sherlock work in a satisfying way. On the one hand, you want the fantasy of playing as the almost supernaturally gifted detective. On the other, you want a game that’ll really push your investigative skills (and there are countless examples of games that prove just how difficult this is to achieve - LA Noire and Murdered: Soul Suspect to name a couple).

Today it's that team who are delivering a Redux version of Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter to the world."
