Just making this post to say that I'm alive and kicking. After the recent russian mass missile attack, though, I have real problems with electricity and not able to work on my Sims Story project. Among other things... I bought a lot of Sherlock Holmes games by Frogwares - Ukrainian video game development studio. Believe it or not, but their "Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened" was created during the beginning of the war and I can't even imagine all the struggles they've been through. So if you care for Ukraine and love detective video games - please, do consider to sopport Frogwares by buying their products.

Of course, the first thing I did in "Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One" was... trying every and each available costume on Sherlock! :D And look! They made matching outfits for Sherlock and John! How sweet!^^

Vyshyvanka for Sherlock melted my heart. Specially this little note from the creators: "Vyshyvanka: Traditional Ukrainian clothes, from Frogwares with love". Awww... I love the humor and the twist they put into this game. I would recommend it to everyone who... um.... loves Sherlock? Also platonic love between two men, haha!

P.S. I want these costumes in Sims >__<

I love when games have stuff like this.

These are either from the developers or from people who entered a contest or something, I'm not sure. (Found an old reddit thread from the team about picking people to put on the tombstones)

Sherlock Holmes - The Great Ace Attorney

[twistedtummies2]

I have officially determined that James Moriarty from "Fate/Grand Order" - both versions of him - is now in my Top 10 favorite portrayals of the character ever made. I've enjoyed him (them?) from the start, but as I play through Shinjuku with his Archer form, combined with everything else I've learned and enjoyed beforehand...yeah, he's becoming an increasingly delightful interpretation. So glad I decided to go through the story as is proper. <3 Oh, and if you're wondering how I feel about Sherlock himself...too early to REALLY say, but I do like this one a fair bit, too. I will definitely need to do recounts from my favorite versions of both characters in the future.

the entire nes library is 287mb. think about that. that’s not even a single gigabyte. in a just world, you could have this on your phone for free, it would just be on there.

A Sherlock Holmes RPG could be pretty fun.

Different skill trees based on deductive ability, acting ability, fighting ability and criminal ability

Choices for love interests including Watson, Adler, Mary Morstan and Lestrade or no-one depending on your decisions, with the option to also hook Watson and Mary up if you want

Different endings depending on how Holmes' choices leading to Reichenbach and whether he actually dies there or not depending on your success in the rest of the game

Different notoriety and public opinion, whether people think he's an odd eccentric or a respectable man or barely above a criminal himself

Have the classic puzzles and stuff but also a bit of combat

Have power bars for eating and sleeping that Watson nags you about that can be buffered with drugs lol

Play through the different cases like missions with the Moriarty stuff as a main questline

Do the unreliable narrator thing like in DA2 where there's always the possibility Watson is just telling the police what they want to hear about the events of the game rather than being 100% truthful and how you treat Watson colours that as well and how your Holmes acts - more empathetic and manic or cold and clinical.

Just a regular 42 year old executive director up at 2 am on Monday thinking about how much Emmrich reminds me of Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes.

Some answers are combined for space, and there are two catch-alls for other adaptations. Please go ahead and specify in the tags for these! (and if you chose other, of course)

This poll is focused on canon-era 221bs, so the Rathbone movies, Elementary, and Sherlock don't get separate answers. Feel free to still put them in the tags though if one is your preferred version.
