Software Entertainment USA and Focus Home Interactive today released a
new demo for their upcoming horror adventure title -
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. The
new demo contains roughly one hour of gameplay and gives players a
chance to learn what it's like to be the great detective Sherlock
Holmes and his able assistant, Doctor Watson. The demo will immerse
players in a shadowy world, where all is not as it seems, and followers
of the dark cult of Cthulhu are working behind the scenes to an unknown
but sinister end. Players will be challenged to investigate crime
scenes, interview witnesses, search for clues and use a broad set of
tools to examine them. In the full game, players will solve deeper and
more complex mysteries as they work their way to a final showdown with
a cult of the elder god Cthulhu - made popular in the fictional
writings of early 20th century American author H.P. Lovecraft.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened will ship to U.S. retail outlets on September 4, 2007. For more information, please visit

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
combines the eerie mysticism of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos with
the mystery-solving powers of the great fictional detective -
Sherlock Holmes. The Awakened
is the first fully 3D Sherlock Holmes game, and will feature rich
graphics and detailed environments. Fans of the mystery genre will feel
right at home with the point-and-click interface as they explore
multiple distinctly chilling environments while solving mysteries and
completing challenging and creative puzzles. With 60 unique characters
roaming the game world, it will be difficult to tell who is friend or
foe in this, Sherlock Holmes' most challenging, and horrifying,
adventure.
