Six Tips to Help You Be a Better Detective in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One

Hello everyone,

My name is Sergei, and I am the Head of Production at Frogwares – the studio behind Sherlock Holmes Chapter 1. This is an important day, and one we have waited for for years. It’s the day in which Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is out and available for you to play.

Before you embark on your quest to solve mysteries and find clues and explore Cordona, we recommend that you take a look through our six top tips.

1, The New Disguise Method

With the correct attire, you may be able get additional information that will help to solve your case thanks to this innovative mechanic we have introduced to our series. You just have to remember one thing – people like to judge others based on first impressions. You might be less willing to tell secrets if you don’t look like the person you think you are. If you present yourself as someone you can trust, they may be more open to sharing their secrets than you expected. A barman at a local hangout that’s a favourite among sailors will be less reluctant to give you more info if you come dressed as a sailor, as opposed to looking like a fancy suited-up gentleman. Before you go out, make sure to plan what clothes you will wear. These outfits can be purchased at the markets and local shops.

2, Combat

There are many ways to overcome a situation where you find yourself in a difficult place. But remember, you are not a gunman, but a glass cannon. Use your intelligence when engaging in combat. You can use the surrounding environment to your advantage. Do not kill anyone, regardless of what you do. The trick is to disable a foe. If you end up killing too many enemies around you, it will start impacting your dear friend Jon, who doesn’t like people losing their lives for no reason.

Remember though, if you’re not a fan of gunfights and hand-to-hand combat, you can turn combat off in the game’s settings. Then you can devote your entire time to solving mysteries. Your game’s progress or story will not suffer in any way – you just won’t have to use your muscle power. You have the option to make that decision.

3. Combine the Crime Scene to Your Best Ability

Sometimes the most crucial clues won’t come to you in a package. Sometimes you might need to examine the area more closely in order not to miss anything. You might come across some vital evidence that may exonerate some suspect, like a letter found in a desk drawer, or you might find some more details that don’t add up on that person who claims they were not around the scene. Remember that you are not the only one who can help. Sherlock Holmes Chapter 1, you can convict the wrong person – but there won’t be a game over screen. You’ll just have to learn to live with your consequences. The people who you sentence need to learn to accept them.

4. You are allowed to feel stuck

Even Sherlock Holmes, the greatest detective ever (yes, that’s Sherlock Holmes) could not get enough of a particular case. So it’s ok for you to be stuck too. A good way to find that “aha!” moment is take a look at the evidence that you have and see if they might be leading you somewhere. Perhaps you just need a little bit more info that’s missing. Look for information that may be available in public places. Looking for an address of a particular individual – maybe the police station has it? One case was very popular. Perhaps the newspaper archives contain old news articles from this time. Look at all the services and resources available. You might just be what you are looking for.

5. Take the time to explore this island.

It is well worth visiting the island of Cordona. You will find many interesting side-questions around the island, not only are there shops and residents, but also beautiful landscapes. Be open to new opportunities wherever you travel. You can listen to the people talking, or look at the signs on the walls. You could find a clue to the next investigation in all of these posters.

Apart from side-quests, there are also specialized furniture dealers. They can sell you furniture that is suitable for furnishing your house. Afterall, there’s nothing more satisfying than to bring back the Holmes mansion to its former glory. And like I’ve mentioned earlier, you can also buy clothes from merchants too. Be a detective with your eyes and ears! It’s amazing what you could stumble upon!
