Neil Gaiman had a short story in his most recent book,  loosely based on the Holmes story "The Scarlet Letter", set in an alternate Victorian world where the Old Ones came back,  rule humanity,  and are mating with the remaining nobility and monarchy.

the day someone unlocks a method to have good investigation in a game and tie it to a progress metric, you'll see MMO's do a 180. Cthulu

Isn't CDV one of the US publishers that likes to slap Starforce on everything and the family dog?

With my mom's obsession with the sherlock holmes, I think I may get this game for her.  That would be a first.

Apparently that's just the release date for the boxed retail version.  It seems that you can buy it and download it right now.  Has anyone actually played this yet?

If I wasn't playing Persona 3 and Soul Nomad right now for review, I'd pick it up. :(

I'd like to respond to a post way far back that I think there is a pretty decent following for noir type stuff that a detective story following the noir style could easily be successful. Max Payne kinda delved into this, but it wasn't really a detective story per se.


I'm just a Raymond Chandler fan, but I can dream, right?
