About Sherlock Holmes The Awakened

✦ AI summary

Investigate mysterious disappearances linked to an ancient cult while playing as a young Sherlock Holmes confronting the terrifying Cthulhu Mythos, watching his rational mind unravel as you pursue eldritch horrors across Europe and America. This rebuilt adventure combines Lovecraftian horror with detective gameplay, featuring an insanity system that warps your perception as you uncover the truth behind the world's most famous crime-solving duo's origin story.


Experience a nerve-racking Lovecraftian adventure, rebuilt from the ground up with modern graphics and gameplay. Become Sherlock Holmes, and find yourself at the heart of the terrifying Cthulhu Mythos as you investigate a series of mysterious disappearances in Europe and the US.

A Lovecraft meets Sherlock Holmes crossover, The Awakened puts you up against the legendary Cthulhu Mythos. Investigate a series of mysterious disappearances, apparently linked to a dark cult that worships an Ancient God. Whatever their plan is, you must put a stop to it… or face unspeakable consequences.

For the first time in his life, Sherlock is truly afraid. A man of rationale and reason, he faces an otherworldly entity that defies all logic, and this discovery is as enlightening as it is shattering. The pursuit of the truth pushes Sherlock to the verge of madness, and it’s the only story that Watson will never publish.
Taking place in 1882, The Awakened lifts the curtain on how Sherlock and John, mere roommates at the time, became the world-famous crime-solving duo.

Key pillars

  • Investigate the Cthulhu Mythos as imagined by H.P. Lovecraft and face Eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension
  • Fight encroaching insanity as you pursue answers to questions that have no rational explanation whatsoever
  • Find clues that will lead you through the famous Baker Street in London, a haunting psych ward in Switzerland, the perilous Louisiana wetlands and more
  • A reimagining of the 2008 title: Rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine, The Awakened boasts modern graphics and animations, an expanded storyline, numerous side quests and new mechanics including unique insanity gameplay.

While you can get this cheap for 90% on sale I still don’t think this is a good game. Prob worst Sherlock Holmes game I’ve played in terms of story telling. You keep teleporting to different parts of the world, finding some stuff and just leaving places unresolved. Very difficult to play without a guide too.

Sooooo, here goes. I know I wished for Sherlock Holmes without all this sandbox crap, and... I got it! Which is good. Now, as for the Sherlock Holmes I got, I have to say that... well, it's fine. It's a good game — a remake, so to speak. But after, what, two decades of Sherlocking around, the material is truly spent. Even Doyle got bored with it and wanted to kill him off. Didn't quite pan out, though... As for the actual game, if you're a fan of this more-than-two-decade-long series of Sherlock games, you will be... I guess... fine with it. But I think the material peaked with *Jack the Ripper* and ended with *The Devil's Daughter*. I know I wished for something that would bring back the feeling I had while playing those games, and it didn't quite make it. Dear Frogwares Games, what I would like to propose is: let Mr. Holmes rest for a bit. Perhaps concentrate on something more novel and exciting, with a similar fan base!!!! Have you ever considered Robert van Gulik's *Judge Dee*? That's a classic that has never been properly explored in video games. Huh? ...Huh? Well, I love you anyway. And all those trolls who say you wouldn't get to see Cthulhu are Ru…

It's an alright game. It has good Eldritch Horror aspects, but isn't the best Sherlock Holmes game. Good for a weekend play.
Not recommended Sep 2, 2026
Knowing this was a continuation to Chapter One, I did not expect to see Cthulu or any real monsters and absolutely expected this to be the falling into madness of Sherlock Holmes. I feel like it didn't entirely relay that point across, it was never made clear whether everything Sherlock experienced was real or not. And I feel like a definite answer would have been better considering this is a Sherlock Holmes story. I honestly think that attaching the Sherlock Holmes name to a Lovecraftian story like this weakened the overall story of this game and left me unsatisfied.
