Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One, developed by Frogwares, is a new addition to the classic detective game genre. The game takes place in the Mediterranean, where Sherlock Holmes returns to investigate his mother's death and prove himself. As a younger and inexperienced detective, players will experience a fresh take on the legend's early years.

The game is an open-world experience, where players can explore the entire city to gather clues, rumors, and evidence to build a case within their "mind palace". The game offers two major resources: violence and deduction, allowing players to choose their approach to solving problems. Additionally, the game features a different take on John Watson, Holmes' best friend, and his mysterious companion, Jon.

The game's vibrant open-world island in the Mediterranean is filled with political corruption and crime, making the investigation even more challenging. Players will have to navigate through the island's traditions and the islanders' ideas of truth and justice to uncover the truth. The game's unique take on the early years of Sherlock Holmes is a must-play for fans of the genre.
