By holding down the R2 trigger, Sherlock concentrates on everyone that surrounds him, allowing him to fish out clues and tells that aren’t apparent otherwise, such as their job, attitude and underlying states of mental and physical health all of which can be used to deduce key persons of interest. It’s at this point that the game allows you to identify them as a bored, violently drunk British nobleman, or simple as an ill Englishman on resort and then the game adjusts respectively.įurther afield, Sherlock Holmes latest escapade also introduces something new in the form of how it permits players to quickly observe other people at distance and quickly identify three characteristics about them.

In one example you must return an ornate cane to its owner. Though the observations you can make don’t necessarily change, the conclusions you make from interpreting them can. Where things get interesting is when you observe potential suspects and persons of interest.
