this is one of my favourite games! usually i don't like playing historically set games but this one has my heart. it's so well written i cried when Gregory shouted at me and i refuse to make him a lover now. nevertheless, it's an amazing game and i can't wait for the next chapters to come out
Uhm I love it?? The humour is so incredible, every sentence had me giggling. I enjoy the scenarios Sherlock ends up in. All the characters are fleshed out and not 'perfect'. They are endearing and so very flawed (looking at you Lestrade, you meanie).
Here are some of my favourite lines (paraphrased):
Are those my biscuits...?
A lock of Watson's hair, he doesn't know...
There will be no pricking!
Do not tell me - or I will raise your rent.
Do you know the ways of men?
The currently build leaves off with a lot of drama potential. I can't wait for more!
MY FAVORITE IF OF ALL TIMESSS, I LOVE IT SO MUCH, i'm super glad to see you thriving pookie! good luck with whatever you're planning and LUV YA SSMMM <3333333
I am (was?) in the Discord server but life got busy and I haven't checked both it and CoG in a long time, didn't expect to find this on itch.io the one time I thought to browse! So happy to see it still going strong ❤️
Jane the adorable, shy, and embarrassed partner that you are... but seriously I'm loving this story so far. The interactions and responses available are great and I love just how in-depth you can create your personality. I'm still smiling and giggling over how adorable Jane is when she's jealous and I can't wait to see more!!
I know Sherlock Holmes is not an autistic character, but I can't help but resonate a lot with this MC. The feeling like the world is ending when you've got nothing to hyperfixate on, the mention of a scattered focus, becoming overstimulated, wanting to go home to find relief...
I have not yet finished the game, but my goodness! This is just... Beautiful. I especially love how your choices can really lead to different outcomes, like the order in which you choose. This was one of the reasons why I haven't finished yet, too busy trying to see all options. You can imagine all the saves I have, haha.
I have just passed the part where John barges in on Hamish catching Sherlock, and damn! They both literally squared off. I find it especially endearing how defensive (?) John was, it was very cute.
I am, however, quite saddened that a polyamorous relationship is not possible. They are all just so charming. Though, you did mention that there are other relationship shapes (?) that are possible. If Sherlock ends up in one of those, yet chooses one person to romance, would that affect our relationship with other characters? Example, I choose 'romantic' options with John, yet still choose to pursue Hamish, would that affect his relationship with me? Though I feel like he would be the most accepting, the sweetheart.
🥰❤️❤️ "Though, you did mention that there are other relationship shapes (?) that are possible." Yes! There are quite a few dynamics available.
" Example, I choose 'romantic' options with John, yet still choose to pursue Hamish, would that affect his relationship with me? Though I feel like he would be the most accepting, the sweetheart."
😳 I'm afraid that specific Love triangle makes Watson very, very jealous... But! I still kinda recommend it. It adds a lot of content and makes W more forward tbh...
OMG I played this on Dashing don! I glad to see it's still alive and now in a more accessible place :) I love your writing style and it's rare to see so much customization, especially when it actually effects the story!
😆 There's a period-appropriate version of "skill issue" in one chapter, but I can't remember where... If I can think of a way to sneak in "no shit sherlock" I'll do it lol!
I need more! You are such a talented writer. It's rare that long blocks of text manage to hook me in but every sentence had me hurry to read the next one. Keep up the good work!
❤️❤️❤️ Glad you like it! (and there will be more of Lestrade teasing lol... oh! check out my free Lestrade minigame maybe, there's some of that in there. It's in on my profile 🥰)
The game does have many romance dynamics though, and situations like Love triangle/square/pentagons, and it won’t force you to choose for a long while! (I know this is a fear for many) ❤️
All I can say is..WOW. Definitely did not expect this to be so amazing! I absolutely love the given choices, the romance and the characters. Cannot wait for more! (English isn't my native language so pardon me if I made no sense, there's simply not enough words in my vocabulary to describe this masterpiece :D)
I know it's not finished yet, but so far it looks promising! Finding games about my favorite emotionally stunted fictional detective is always cool. Good work! Also John being a golden retriver brings me joy. Keep on.

🤭❤️❤️ Hi hello again then, the world is small. Welcome back!
Jane the adorable, shy, and embarrassed partner that you are... but seriously I'm loving this story so far.

I'm still smiling and giggling over how adorable Jane is when she's jealous and I can't wait to see more!!

More Watson is coming next week for patreons, and then a while later for the general public.
I know Sherlock Holmes is not an autistic character, but I can't help but resonate a lot with this MC. The feeling like the world is ending when you've got nothing to hyperfixate on, the mention of a scattered focus, becoming overstimulated, wanting to go home to find relief...
🥹❤️❤️ That's lovely to hear. And I do think of Sherlock Holmes as neurodivergent.
Alright...

🥰❤️❤️ Ah! Welcome back to the game then!
This is awesome! I just played the whole thing through and I'm hooked. I can't wait to see more!!!
🥹❤️❤️
I gotta confess... when Gregory drops his sandwich and Sherlock points it out, I'm very dissappointed he didn't yell "NO SHIT, SHERLOCK" instead
Missed opportunity 😔

❤️🌹 That's a wonderful compliment, thank you!
Oooooh this looks interesting
Omg teasing Lestrade is become my new fav hobby and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! Thanks for this amazing work ahhhhhhh
❤️❤️❤️ Glad you like it! (and there will be more of Lestrade teasing lol... oh! check out my free Lestrade minigame maybe, there's some of that in there. It's in on my profile 🥰)
Yes i just checked it out and all i can say is THANKS FOR THE MEAL UWAA I have been giggling and kicking my feet for nearly an hour now!! (＾∇＾)ﾉ
❤️❤️❤️
Um are we playing sherlock or a detective
Both? Sherlock being a consulting detective in the 1800s.
So we r?? So like we play as sherlock or a assistant 😭😭 idkk
Most incredibly important question ever: is polyamory an option? I'm going to romance the whole world
The game has no poly between the MC and the ROs.
The game does have many romance dynamics though, and situations like Love triangle/square/pentagons, and it won’t force you to choose for a long while! (I know this is a fear for many) ❤️
I LOVE THIS SM, it's the first time I've tried a novel with this format and I find it very interesting and fun, good luck with the continuation!
🥰 Welcome to the world of interactive fiction ✨
Thank you for playing!

🥹❤️❤️
Thank you so much, and you made perfect sense!!
The squeal I let out when I saw this! I played this a while ago on Dashingdom and I am so excited it has been moved to here!!
🥰🥰🥰
am I going bonkers or did I read this somewhere before
You’re not going bonkers!
The demo has been up before. I’m just moving hosting site as dashindon (the previous hosting site) is closing down.
THANK YOU for a second there I thought I was going crazy
I know it's not finished yet, but so far it looks promising! Finding games about my favorite emotionally stunted fictional detective is always cool. Good work! Also John being a golden retriver brings me joy. Keep on.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
(And Watson *is* a golden retriever! Finally someone agrees with me 😆❤️🐶)
Dori, you are wonderful and this is amazing!
🥹❤️❤️ Fab!!! 🥰 🥰 🥰
