3 out of 5 starsScore: 60/100

This is my first review so please send me some constructive feedback on what I can do to improve.
 
This review will be broken down into sections starting with story, game-play,  and voice acting. 
 
Story- As the title says the story is about Sherlock trying to find out who Jack The Ripper is. It is very well thought out and well written. Some parts of the story progression can become a bit slow and tiresome but it makes up for it later on when you start to become closer to discovering who Jack The Ripper is. It is kinda sad when you reach the end of the game but at the same time the conclusion does feel a bit anti-climatic with what happens to The Ripper.
 
Game-play- The game-play is what you would expect to find in most point and click adventure games. The puzzles are very creative in how you solve them and can range from being fairly easy to really difficult. You switch between playing Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. 
 
Voice Acting- The only thing that kept me from really getting  into the story was the voice acting. It isn't terrible but it isn't good either. I consider the voice acting to be mediocre at best. 
 
If you are into point and click adventure games with great stories than I would recommend playing it.
