Despite what its main character might say, this point-and-click Sherlock Holmes mystery adventure from Ubisoft is anything but "elementary." Players begin by guiding the quintessential detective (and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson) through a large, interactive re-creation of a late-19th century mansion. It seems the mansion's owner has just turned up dead. The murder investigation leads through the streets of London, and on to such distant destinations as India, and even Brazil.
Players must search for clues and speak with witnesses in each location, paying close attention to details as they try to piece together the big picture. The game follows an original storyline inspired by the works of the sleuth's creator, Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes: The Silver Earring was developed by Frogwares, whose previous graphic-adventure credits include Journey to the Center of the Earth, inspired by the Jules Verne novel, and Mystery of the Mummy, another Sherlock Holmes game.
