A very nice and short game...Buy it preferably on a sale since it is short....

Short escape the room/hidden object mystery. Nice graphics and animations. Story isn't very interesting but that's not why you play it. Nice variety of different types of minigame puzzles.

Lots of fun! the graphics are great! Mostly point and click. Enjoyed it !

I enjoyed the game. The puzzles were varied and less frustrating they used to be in the past games. Of course some of them are still somewhat redundant but overall the puzzle aspect was better this time around. The story was worse though but I guess it was unexpected so I was entertained enough for the playthrough to be worth finishing. I wish I had gotten the game on sale because as much as the gaming aspect was better, the story was so frustrating for me I didn't really care for it. I also miss the morphing objects collectibles!


Now the rest of my complaints are spoiler heavy so read at your own risk.

Of course, I have certain gripes with the logistics of the story. Like how the police completely let Holmes off the hook for reasonably making her the first and only suspect, is beyond ridiculous for me. She could've easily been McKirks killer in the police's eyes, or seen as being in cahoots with the real killer just based on the evidence uncovered.
The whole ghost thing is never really explained either. How was the ghost effect done? There's no real explanation besides the luminous paint Kathleen makes. Is she in on it too? Shouldn't there have been a costume or something, like the Baskerville hound? Ms. Holmes sees the ghost firsthand on several occasions! Is the implication that Sandra is the ghost...? But why the paint then?
Also first time i played I was VERY confused when Walter brought up a Sarah out of nowhere. Now after playing more, I realized the devs messed up and wrote the wrong name for Sandra both in the subtitles and the script for the voiceactors lol.

Now as someone in the Deaf community, the inclusion of a deaf and signing character was nice albeit his cameo was short and only in the bonus chapter. I hope he comes around more! The notes passing back and forth, and actually using correct sign language in accordance with the country the story is set in was also nice. I wish Ms. Holmes knew sign language but I guess the style and animation probably limits the accuracy of it haha.

This was a great game. I hope they make more Ms.Holmes games

Overall it's a pretty good hidden object game. It can be fully completed fairly quickly, so it's a nice short little game if that's what you're looking for. The graphic is pretty decent and the story is alright. If you're looking for something a bit more challenging then I don't recommend this game, but if you're just looking for something quick and easy then this is your game.

Not bad. It was on sale and the puzzles are quite nice. The hint book is built right into the game, which I think is clever. That way I don't have to keep running out to the Internet. What is tough is that there are two occasions where a much simpler solution was visible in the room, but because the devs didn't see that I had to figure out the much more convoluted path. Anyway, if you like to play a detective, this is a good one for you.
