It's London, 1898. Holmes has just returned a set of priceless jewels to their rightful owner, but the owner finds the necklace to be a fake. Holmes is now the lead suspect, and the evidence quickly stacks up against him. He can't seem to prove his innocence or disprove the accusations, leading to London slowly turning against him, and even his faithful companion and friend Doctor Watson starting to doubt him. The evidence against Holmes is incriminating, who raises even more doubts as he evades Scotland Yard, and starts to behave suspiciously with destruction of evidence and late night roamings. It is your job now as Holmes to prove your innocence, and capture the real culprit before it's too late.

The Testament Of Sherlock Holmes has also introduced a new and innovative deduction system which enables you to make full use of your detective repertoire in order to form your own conclusions from the evidence you have before you. There are even special questioning techniques that you possess, with which you can use to catch other characters off guard and force them to answer honestly. As it is an open investigation, you will be able to choose which leads to follow and which ones to ignore, ultimately drawing your own conclusion.
