How to Decide
The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo is a classic point‑and‑click adventure known for its sprawling Victorian London setting and is used by fans of classic adventure and detective games. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy leans on Egyptian locations and offers identical gameplay on PC and iOS; Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. II emphasizes full‑motion video actors and three distinct Victorian cases with built‑in clue notebooks.
When weighing alternatives, consider (1) the geographical and historical setting – Victorian London versus Egyptian locales – because it drives atmosphere and puzzle context; (2) the puzzle and clue‑tracking mechanics – intricate item‑combination puzzles in the target versus logic‑puzzle variety in the Mummy and a built‑in notebook system in Consulting Detective; (3) platform availability – mouse‑keyboard PC only for the target compared with cross‑platform PC/iOS for the Mummy; (4) narrative delivery – branching dialogue trees with voice acting in the target versus full‑motion video storytelling in Consulting Detective; and (5) replay value – multiple endings and hidden story details in the target versus case‑based replayability in Consulting Detective.
