Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Frozen City

Sherlock Holmes is called in to investigate a mysterious snowstorm so cold that even the Thames is starting to freeze.

The action takes place within a scientific exhibition, with different areas dedicated to different inventions. A weather machine has been sabotaged and you need to collect control crystals to end the storm. The game is split up into chapters, as you try to gather crystals, whilst also pursuing information leading to the culprit. Much of the machinery is inoperative, requiring you to gather parts to get them working again. This results in recurring scavenger hunting gameplay, as you scour the various available rooms for the missing items. More than 50 minigames appear throughout the game, including cracking lock combinations, placing cogs, and rearranging a pipe network.
