Sherlock Holmes - Nemesis

In 19th-century London, Arsène Lupin challenges Sherlock Holmes and Scotland Yard to stop him from stealing five important items. Players take turns controlling Holmes and his friend Dr. Watson as they pursue the burglar’s trail.

Explore London locations, including museums, galleries, and the Tower of London; examine surroundings, find clues and documents, and speak with characters to advance the investigation. Lupin’s messages set up a chain of riddles and puzzles to unravel.

Use and combine objects to solve obstacles and uncover further evidence. The game offers first- and third-person views, along with an in-game hint system that can guide players through puzzles and track investigative progress.

Players who enjoyed the game often praised the Holmes-versus-Lupin premise, the mental challenge of its puzzles, and the atmosphere of exploring London landmarks. Some also liked the first-person view and the built-in hints. Reactions to the puzzles were sharply mixed: many found them rewarding, while others felt their solutions were obscure or illogical; long walks and repeated trips through large locations were also common frustrations.
