This is a good time to remind players that Frogwares also developed the earlier Sherlock Holmes in which Creepy Watson exists, appearing at different areas staring at Sherlock as players advanced through those games. He also shares genuine care for Sherlock’s decisions and well-being and challenges him with unique tasks and optional investigations from time to time. He’s a fun-loving and lighthearted foil for Sherlock to bounce his more serious and rational nature off of. The reason for his existence is, itself, a mystery, and an engaging one at that. Jon appears through the world, accompanying Sherlock throughout every journey. Not Watson mind you, Jon is very specifically a figment of Holmes’ imagination (cited very early by him as an imaginary friend and his only friend at that). Joining him throughout his adventure is the enigmatic Jon. It sets him off on an investigation across the island to learn the truth of what really happened. Seeking to find his mother’s grave, pay respects, and gain closure he didn’t get as a child, Holmes discovers troubling holes in the facts of her death. It just so happens this island is also where Holmes grew up and where his mother died of tuberculosis… or so he thought. Cordona has been settled by many a people in its time and is split up into great riches, commoners, traders, the poorest of the poor, and bandit gangs lurking in the underbelly throughout. Back where it all beganĬhapter One sees a very young Sherlock in his 20s making a voyage to the fictional island of Cordona. And fill it they do with an engaging mystery narrative that takes players on a journey through an open-world Mediterranean island with mystery around every corner and smart, devilish twists in every case. With Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, Frogwares aims to fill that gap. However, rarely have we seen a tale that unravels the masterful detective, where exactly he came from, and what drives his commitment to logic and the truth. There are so many iconic adventures of the fictional detective at the top of his game, masterfully unraveling tales such as the Hound of Baskervilles or challenging the nefarious Professor Moriarty. An origin story is an interesting concept for a Sherlock Holmes game.
