SHERLOCK: THE GAME IS ON

Hello! I'm a representative for the fandom-wide puzzle rpg project, Sherlock: The Game Is On.

GAME DESCRIPTION:

The game begins, of course, in 221B Baker Street. It takes place over the course of 3 months where you play as John Watson, blogger and crime solving partner of the great Sherlock Holmes. The object? Keep Sherlock's boredom meter from getting dangerously high by solving crimes—and keep your own money meter from getting too low.

 

The gameplay consists of Ace Attorney style investigations as well as Professor Layton style logic puzzles.

Volunteering and Scheduling:

Due to the fact that our development team is completely composed of volunteers, we always make sure that each member’s workload remains reasonable. Many of the members of our staff are either in the workforce or are currently pursuing a major, masters, or PhD in their field. Since they are all graciously volunteering their time between their busy schedules, we are extremely flexible in negotiating deadlines and distributing tasks evenly throughout individual development teams.
