Sherlock Holmes to rouse again in January
For those anxiously awaiting the next adventure of Sherlock Holmes, the game will soon be afoot in the UK. Ascaron Entertainment announced today that it will be distributing The Awakened in January 2007.
Developed in partnership with French publisher Focus Home Interactive, The Awakened is the third game based on the great detective by Frogwares, following Mystery of the Mummy and The Case of the Silver Earring. Like its predecessors, the game uses a point-and-click interface, though it will be the first to be rendered entirely in 3D.
Taking turns playing as both Holmes and his loyal assistant Dr. Watson, players will experience "an original confrontation between the universe of Sherlock Holmes and the myth of Cthulhu, for a fight between the rational and the supernatural." The game begins in London with a mysterious disappearance that seems to be related to a secret sect, but the adventure will eventually lead players through a psychiatric hospital in Switzerland, and on to the United States and Scotland.
