Sherlock Holmes og aðstoðarmaður hans Dr. Watson kljást við yfirnáttúruleg öfl í nýjum leik sem er innblásinn af hrollvekjum H. P. Lovecraft.
Þarna er á ferðinni endurgerð leiks sem kom út fyrir Windows árið 2008 en nýja útgáfan hefur verið aukin og endurbætt og er unnin í Unreal Engine 4.
Stúdíóið Frogwares hefur áður gefið út nokkra titla um einkaspæjarann knáa og ævintýri hans, síðast Chapter One sem kom út árið 2021.
Upprunalega átti leikurinn að koma út í byrjun árs, en var frestað um nokkrar vikur vegna stríðsins í Úkraínu þar sem hönnunarteymi Frogwares er staðsett í höfuðborginni Kyiv.
Nánar um leikinn:
A Lovecraft meets Sherlock Holmes crossover, The Awakened puts you up against the legendary Cthulhu Mythos. Investigate a series of mysterious disappearances, apparently linked to a dark cult that worships an Ancient God. Whatever their plan is, you must put a stop to it… or face unspeakable consequences.
For the first time in his life, Sherlock is truly afraid. A man of rationale and reason, he faces an otherworldly entity that defies all logic, and this discovery is as enlightening as it is shattering. The pursuit of the truth pushes Sherlock to the verge of madness, and it’s the only story that Watson will never publish.
Taking place in 1882, The Awakened lifts the curtain on how Sherlock and John, mere roommates at the time, became the world-famous crime-solving duo.
