Frogwares Studio's Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment has 23 minutes of PlayStation 4 gameplay for you to enjoy below.
The studio has been making Holmes-based puzzle games on PC for years and while Crimes and Punishment is coming out on that platform, console sleuths aren't being left out this time round – the game is headed to PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One as well.
Rather than the BBC's modernised Sherlock or the US version Elementary, Crimes and Punishment sticks to the original 19th century setting of Arthur Conan Doyle's books and has fewer explosions than the Guy Ritchie movies.
On the PlayStation Blog, Frogwares' business developer Olga Ryzhko writes:
"Plot-driven crime drama, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is a pure investigation whodunit game that features brilliant detection, dreadful villains and blood-curdling crimes. Six sophisticated cases, numerous suspects, right or wrong charges, possibility to fail or succeed, moral choices to influence the gameplay and alternative endings – you play Sherlock Holmes at your own peril."
Interestingly, it's actually possible to implicate the wrong person for a crime.
