Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Remastered Edition, from Ascaron and 93Games is available for close scrutiny. This classic point and click adventure includes a new third person view mode, improved graphics and an updated help system.

Players will have their powers of observation and logic severely tested as they guide the infamous resident of 221B Baker Street across London in search of vital clues, accompanied by his loyal sidekick Doctor Watson. Budding detectives will benefit from three main additional features.

A new third person mode allows players to now choose between stepping into the first person mode of Sherlock Holmes himself or viewing gameplay in the new third person mode. This allows a more objective view, helping players to avoid missing any clues that must be scrutinized using Holmes’ iconic magnifying glass.

Improved graphics include new lighting, HD effects, shaders, shadows and new animations, giving the locations a distinctive and genuine 19th century feel.

Finally, an updated help system displays available actions on the screen to provide assistance with difficult puzzles.
