A nice, breezy little game. Nothing fancy. Just a few hours with Holmes and Watson in the English countryside.2 found this helpful
The Beekeeper's Picnic is an excellent adventure game title for fans of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. Taking place after Holmes' retirement to the country, it pits the master detective against his greatest enemy - free time! With the impending visit of Holme's oldest and dearest friend, Doctor John Watson, Holmes just prepare a pleasant afternoon outing only to end up embroiled in several local mysteries. A light and fun story full of thoughtful references to the Holmes canon. The branching narrative options encourages multiple playthroughs, and the endings feel earned and well thought out. This game is an afternoon well spent!1 found this helpful
A short but heartwarming and well-executed game. The makers of this game understood Sherlock Holmes and have really made the dialogue shine. I would cheerfully play any number of Sherlock Holmes adventures written by this team and voiced in the same way. I also appreciate the final choices were left up to the player, letting each person define their own interpretation of the character. A must-play for anyone who thinks fondly of holmes and watson after having read the books.
short sweet and relaxing I really enjoyed the game, it wasn't challenging but you have to explore and think about the observations that Sherlock makes. Personally loved the ending, I recommend this to anyone who enjoys sweet story games like this.
This is such a charming game! Perfectly done, I absolutely love the art style (both pixel art and digital art), also gay ♥♥♥♥ is always good ♥♥♥♥ ;) 10/10 would play again <3
*Very slooow game, If you are not skipping dialogs. Nice work with voice acting, but too long. So, skip or try to not fall asleep. *Puzzles are too easy, not what I expected *Color schema makes me think of rotten flesh from Minecraft or vomit.
