Haven't played it. Any comments on whether it manages to do justice to Arthur Conan Doyle's books and characters (rather than being loosely inspired by them to create a different mood and different type of story)? I thought Silver Earring was a real success in that regard.

It did it rather well. It uses several characters from the books (Holmes, Watson, Lestrade, Gregson, Old Sherman, Toby...), and the plot is what you could expect from a Holmes story, as well as the gameplay (which relies much on observation, finding clues, analysing them, &c.). Holmes is on one of his good days, though; I found him much more 'holmesian' (sc. delightfully obnoxious) in The Rose Tattoo (which, I felt, generally captured the characters better).
