Frogwares games soundtracks are out now. All games -70%
Hello everyone,
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

CRIMES & PUNISHMENTS: THIS IS SHERLOCK HOLMES
The character of Sherlock Holmes created by Arthur Conan Doyle has been portrayed in many different ways in the past. Crimes & Punishments brings this iconic and peculiar figure to life, in a stunning and faithful representation: his eccentric personality, his manners and, above all, the many remarkable gifts for which he is famous.
This video follows Sherlock in a murder case involving a sailor, a whale harpoon and various suspects. Please note that while this video may hint at one of the possible conclusions, it is but one of many potential outcomes. Depending on how YOUR investigation progresses, you will be able to accuse different guilty parties from among your list of suspects... and determine their fate: will you absolve them of their crime, or will you impartially enforce justice?
In this new Crimes & Punishments video, we can admire the great work Frogwares studios has carried out on Sherlock Holmes and the cast of characters who feature in the six thrilling investigations in the game. Motion captured animations, meticulously detailed faces, lip-sync, the interplay between actor and cinematic cameras bring all the dialog, interrogation and interaction to life.
Besides his eccentricity, Sherlock showcases in this video his extraordinary detective talents which you will employ and exploit to solve each case: his ability to connect seemingly unrelated clues to deduce facts, his talent for guessing a person’s life simply by looking at them, his skill to imagine and reconstruct a past event by observing the key details of a crime scene.... Last but not least, we discover the new in-game “deduction board”, which is none other than the very brain of Sherlock Holmes! Here, you will connect all the clues and information you have gathered and piece them together to establish facts, determine suspects and eventually find out who the guilty parties might be.
Crimes & Punishments will be released on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and PC in Q2 2014.
CRIMES & PUNISHMENTS: WITNESS SHERLOCK’S SENSE OF JUSTICE AND MORALITY ON VIDEO!
Crimes & Punishments, the latest Sherlock Holmes investigation game scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 in Q2 2014, can now reveal its new trailer, "Justice and Morality", and will be updating the Devblog!
This new video shows Sherlock and Watson puzzling over the scene of the crime: Sherlock may think he has identified the guilty party, but he has yet to decide if handing them over to Scotland Yard is the right thing to do…
The video demonstrates the fantastic freedom of action in Crimes & Punishments: not only can you conduct your investigation in the way you think fit as you pursue various lines of enquiry, but you will also have to make real moral choices once you’ve solved the case. Indeed, the clues you uncover and the avenue you wish to pursue - or not - in each of the 7 cases in the game will point to 10 suspects in a single case.
Your logical deduction alone will enable you to determine who, in your opinion, the true culprit is. But remember: you could put an innocent victim behind bars if you overlook certain clues or trails! Once you establish the perpetrator of the deed, you must then bear the responsibility of deciding what to do with this information... will you carry out the letter of the law, or will you be guided by your moral compass? Carefully consider the consequences of your actions, because every choice you make will have repercussions later in the game!
Don’t forget too that Crimes & Punishments has its own Devblog which is regularly updated by the various Frogwares teams with all the relevant, varied and fascinating info on the game development. Today’s post describes the different puzzles, brain-teasers and other specific situations in Crimes & Punishments that will force Sherlock to draw upon his many talents!
Crimes & Punishments will be released on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 in Q2 2014.
CRIMES & PUNISHMENTS: NEW WEBSITE AND NEW SCREENSHOTS FOR SHERLOCK HOLMES!
Crimes & Punishments, the new Sherlock Holmes investigation game on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 developed by Frogwares studios, can today reveal the brand new official site. To mark the occasion, we would also like to unveil a series of 4 hitherto unseen images where we observe the world-famous detective scouring some of the crime scenes in the 7 thrilling cases in the game.
Optimised for navigation on both smartphones and tablets, the Crimes & Punishments site is a real mine of information on the new Sherlock Holmes investigation game. Here you will not only find a rich gallery of screenshots and videos, but everything you need to know about the title: its aims, production and, above all, a vast amount of information on the 14 original gameplay mechanics that have been designed to convey the feeling of BEING the renowned Sherlock Holmes, whose extraordinary gifts and talents you can exploit to the max.
The new screenshots are also available in the extensive site gallery, and represent an important step forward in the Sherlock Holmes investigation series. The switch to Epic's Unreal Engine 3 from the in-house game engine has produced a far richer, more immersive and detailed rendering of the environments and characters. This change in technology has also allowed Frogwares to develop new investigation mechanics that enable you to become the great Sherlock Holmes himself!
Crimes & Punishments will be released on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 Q2 2014.
