New video from Comic-Con@Home + new concept art!
Know what? We've got a batch of great news incoming!
Last weekend we were part of Comic-Con@Home. We spoke about the gameplay mechanics that make the players feel like the world's greatest detective and why we give the player an option to fail a case and blame the wrong person. Check it out below!

Also, we have some original concept art to share from our upcoming Sherlock Holmes Chapter One.
This first bit below is the place and the moment our reveal trailer begins: uncanny, and even slightly preternatural cemetery near young Sherlock's family manor.
In a more lighter mood, the second concept bit we have today is the hustling and bustling Mediterranean streets of ... nope, can't share the name just yet (ツ)
If you've missed our Sherlock Holmes Chapter One being announced, go on ahead to its Steam page and check it out. We hope you're intrigued!

To top it off, we're preparing several new videos in the coming months, as well as something very special for you at the end of August.
Stay safe everybody,

Something is coming...
Frogwares games soundtracks are out now. All games -70%
Music plays an integral part in any game. It is the underlying current that sets the scene, the feeling, and the tone of a game. We might not always notice it when it’s there, but if you take it away, you will definitely feel that something is not right. And the wrong music at the wrong time can feel more awkward than asking the name of a person you’ve already met.
Today, we decided to release the music and soundtracks from our games and we bundled them in four distinct packages. Here’s a little breakdown of one another.
Sherlock Holmes Classic Soundtrack
Venture into the mysterious world of the Sherlock Holmes adventures with this original soundtrack that captures the enigmatic mood of the classic games. A must-have for fans of the brilliant detective or thrilling orchestra music.
Includes soundtracks from Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy, Sherlock Holmes: The Silver Earring, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - Remastered Edition, Sherlock Holmes – Nemesis, Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper.

Sherlock Holmes Modern Soundtrack
Discover the enchanting vibes of Sherlock Holmes games through this original soundtrack that includes music from the latest three adventures. Combining the iconic sounds of classical orchestra instruments with a modern electronic ambient style, this collection offers more than 50 tracks and is available in MP3 320 kbps.
Includes soundtracks from The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.

Frogwares Classic Games Soundtrack
From energizing dance rhythms in 80 Days, to soul-stirring gothic tones of Dracula, this soundtrack offers a nostalgic look back at the Frogwares classic games. This is not just music – this is an insight into how it all began almost two decades ago.
This soundtrack includes music from Journey to the Center of the Earth, 80 Days, Dracula: Origin, Dracula: Love Kills, Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of The Baskervilles, Department 42: The Mystery of the Nine, Secret Missions: Mata Hari and the Kaiser's Submarines, Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Frozen City, Sherlock Holmes and The Mystery of Osborne House, Secret Mission: The Forgotten Island

We know that music is a powerful thing, and we hope that if you had a great time with our games, that these musical pieces will bring back some of those memories. And if you haven’t played our games before, and you’re tempted to take the plunge, our games are now -70% off on Steam. If there ever was a time to try, it’s basically now.
Regards,
Frogwares team
Sherlock Holmes is back with Frogwares
As some of you may be aware, last week we’ve mentioned that some of our games might no longer be available on certain platforms and their stores. We’ve made the announcement on our social media channels, and the news spread like wildfire. Today, we can confirm that we lost 9 store listings out of possible 10. The one listing that was saved was Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments on Steam.
What does this mean? It means that all proceeds from the sale of Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments goes to us, the developer. You can say that the game now belongs to us fully.
The one thing that we have to say about last week’s announcement is this. We will be forever grateful for the sheer-amount of public and industry-wide support that we received. We truly appreciate everyone who added their voice to the issue. We were blown-away. To say “thank you” we put together a digital booklet of behind the scenes stories and anecdotes from our Sherlock Holmes games. We called it Sherlock Holmes: Memories, Stories, Thoughts. This booklet is available to download as a Free DLC. It’s a small token of our huge appreciation for the support we received.
The patch is live now and DLC will be available at 4 PM PDT.
We hope you enjoy this read, and thank you once again for all your help and support.
Regards,
Frogwares Team

Hello everyone,
We are both proud and happy to announce that as of today, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is playable in simplified Chinese. To us, this is huge news, as we know from first-hand just how much the Chinese-based Sherlockians asked us to bring their favorite character to life - in their language. To them, we want to say a big “thank you” for their support and we hope that you will enjoy our game.
Moving forward, we want to continue with this trend and implement Chinese localization in our future projects as well. This means that we are happy to announce that our upcoming open-world, Lovecraft inspired investigation game The Sinking City will also come with simplified Chinese language support.
Once again, many thanks to all of our Chinese fans for their feedback, support, and love. We feel that this is just the beginning of a great adventure.
Regards,
The Frogwares Team
