Ok guys,I’m looking for some very very good Victorian Era games that you can suggest.

I already have Dracula Origin,Jekyll and Hyde(which I don’t think I’ll ever play)and The Testament of Sherlock Holmes.

Can you suggest anything nice?Horror-like?Horror mystery?Supernatural?

Curse: The Eye of Isis, which—as I recall—was rather polarizing. It’s survival horror, so it has adventure elements. And while I believe the controls were pretty awful (a trait common in many fixed-angle survival horror games on the PC), some praised it for bringing the survival horror genre into Victorian England.

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper is an excellent Victorian murder mystery and one of the best peices of Ripper fiction out there.

I agree. Hard to get more “Victorian England” than this game. Especially love the recreations of the murder scenes—a first for adventure games.

You may want to consider “Alter Ego” as well:

I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.

Actually all Frogware Sherlock Holmes games are very Victorian and very true to the age, as far as I can tell.

As far as the games are concerned that I have played (haven’t played Mystery of the Mummy and still need to play two third’s of Testament) I agree. However the main reason I specifically named SH vs Jack the Ripper is beacause it is the most historically focussed installment. Most of the SH games manage to strongly convey a feeling of Victorian London but Jack the Ripper faithfully recreates Victorian London. For a game that features a fictitious protagonist it is actually remarkably historically correct.
