Except hadn't seen an article about its existence/development or gameplay till now made by Frogwares' Olga Ryzhko.

Unlike "The Testament of Sherlock Holmes" this game holds more complexity when solving cases where your actions string what happens next leading you to be right or wrong on a path of 9 possible case Endings.

Being a Sherlock Holmes Fan this is a interesting title I will definitely Get.

Game is Told to be Released Around the End Of September(30) this year 2014.

Hi PlayStation.Blog! This is Olga from Frogwares, and I get to tell you about our latest game, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments.

Fictional detectives rarely go gently into the night; devotees of the long-running Sherlock Holmes series never want to feel that “their” character has come to the end. They like to hope that there is a life for them beyond the Canon.

Inspired by classic literature and popular culture, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments turns back the clock for you to enjoy the continuing exploits of the most famous London-based consulting detective whose abilities border on the fantastic.

Plot-driven crime drama, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is a pure investigation whodunit game that features brilliant detection, dreadful villains, and blood-curdling crimes. Six sophisticated cases, numerous suspects, right or wrong charges, possibility to fail or succeed, moral choices to influence the gameplay, and alternative endings — you play Sherlock Holmes at your own peril.

Here are four things you need to know about Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments:

It’s all About the Sherlock Holmes Universe

19th century England, Victoria Regina, Dr. John Watson, Baker Street Irregulars, Inspector Lestrade, and Sherlock’s long-suffering housekeeper Mrs. Hudson… you will be switching characters, and hey, you will even control Toby, the best nose of the British Empire!

It Forces You To Think Logically

Gameplay mechanics are specific to investigations and meant to convey what it feels like to actually BE Sherlock Holmes, the investigator, such as his ability to learn the details of an individual’s life simply by observing them, or to imagine and reconstruct a past event by merely studying the key features of a crime scene.

Each Case Offers You Real Freedom

Collect clues and tie the evidences together making your own deductions, coming to your conclusions. Make your own choices rather than enforcing justice by the book. Incriminate wisely though, as your decisions have an influence in the game.

There Are 9 Endings To a Case

It’s perfectly possible to accuse the innocent and have him or her sentenced to death — it’s XIX century, after all.

The legendary journey continues on PS4 and PS3 this September for everyone who has a lust for crime drama.

I remember watching many videos about The testament, but never got hooked, even when i try to taste many game genres. In this case "Crimen and punishment", it looks more interesting, the diversity, choices, many endings. I hope it delivers.

Decided to embed the video from the Developmental team's youtube channel instead, since they are the ones who deserve the praise.

All 3 uploaded(Playstation, IGN, Frogwares) videos are the same video.

Ah, for some reason all I read was "Except hadn't seen an article about its existence/development or gameplay till now made by Frogwares' Olga Ryzhko."

and I thought that you meant that there was no gameplay out yet so that's why I sent that link.

Really? the video didn't show when i originally post the playstation articled video, so I had to quickly embed it manually; then decided it was better to use the originally uploaded gameplay video from the company developing the game instead.

I heard it was teased @ E3, but honestly never saw it..probably was sleeping/missed it during its debut. After that I haven't heard much mention from the game, even after the team has been uploading videos of the game's progress.

I have played and finished the Testament of Sherlock Holmes and it was ok, so I believe it'll probably be the same with this game when it's released.  Should be good for anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes (books, games, etc.).

 

We'll see, I guess!
