I can not say I have a strong history with Shelock games. In fact before this one, I had only played a single title before: Shelock Holmes: The Awakened. And while I did enjoy it, I also found myself disappointed with how hard it cagey it was with the details of it’s Lovecraftian influences so as to leave literally nothing to let the player decide if the cultists were just crazy or if they were also on to something.
So when this game came out, I will admit, I was skeptical. The promise of occult mystery to face the world’s best detective against was tempting, but then to be blunt, I had fallen for such promise before. I held off, only to get the game in a humble bundle. Now, as I walk away, I find my expectations not met in the slightest, but not a bad time despite this.
