Sherlock may be a clever man, but like everyone he has his demons. Sherlock’s base during his stay in Cordona is Stonewood Manor, his old family home. It shows Sherlock as more than a sassy and charismatic genius, and more as a young man dealing with the trauma of his mother’s passing. The story itself is a little darker than first expected and has a rather poignant finale. While the narrative is about uncovering the truth behind Sherlock’s mother’s passing, it also feels very much like Sherlock’s coming of age. While Sherlock and Watson have always had great chemistry, the bond between Sherlock and Jon has a layer of emotion that gives it a whole different meaning, and the way it’s written and voiced acted feels authentic and made me feel invested in their relationship. The two, who are very close, work together on Sherlock’s quest for truth and will often reminisce about their childhood together, talk about the events unfolding and partake in the occasional banter. But Frogwares delivers a story that doesn’t feel out of place alongside Doyle’s tales thanks to some quality voice acting and writing, with the relationship between Sherlock and Jon particularly well done. It’s a bold move taking an established character and putting your spin on them, especially one with such history and fandom as Sherlock Holmes.
