Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened: Game Guide, Developer and Facts

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is an adventure video game developed by Frogwares and published in 2006 for Windows. The game follows an original plotline as Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. John H. Watson investigate a series of strange disappearances related to the Cthulhu Mythos. The third in the Sherlock Holmes series of adventure games developed by Frogwares, The Awakened was preceded in 2002 by Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy and in 2004 by Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Silver Earring. This is the first game in the series to tackle supernatural elements such as the Cthulhu Mythos, the previous two games having fairly traditional (albeit original) Holmesian plots. In 2008, a remastered version was released that offers the ability to play in a third-person perspective mode in addition to the first-person perspective. This version also features improved graphics and changes to the help system. It is also the first "Sherlock Holmes" game to get an M (Mature 17+) rating from the ESRB. The remastered version became available on Steam on August 6, 2009. A remake of the game was released in April 2023 for Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
