A macabre evening at Sorrowdale Manor! Lord Horace Fairchild, the tea and coffee magnate, has just committed suicide. A few minutes later, his son-in-law is found poisoned. And finally his prestigious diamond - the Celestial Moon - mysteriously disappears. Are these events linked or completely independent of each other?
Play as Detective Holmes or Dr. Watson, tracking down clues, interviewing witnesses and using your deductive skills. Make the right choices to solve these three investigations, because you are the hero!
Sherlock Holmes: Mystères à Sorrowdale Manor is a comic combined with a game, one title in a series subtitled "The comic in which you are the hero". You embody a character in a immersive story in which your choices guide your progress. You have a character sheet akin to those used in role-playing games that tracks your possessions, your special abilities, your coins, and your victory points. In general, gameplay consists in following the comic's panels - which contain clues, riddles and traps - and making choices about where to go and what to do, while using your visual perception to collect clues and be smart enough to resolve the riddles. As in any game, you can lose - sometimes really badly!
