Before last weekend’s Game Industry Conference in Poland, we knew that our Sherlock Holmes Chapter One was nominated for four (!) CEEGA Awards; Best Audio, Best Game, Best Narrative, and Visual Style. Seeing our name amongst the nominees was fulfilling enough. However, hearing our name called out for the Best Narrative award was really something… special. A vindication for all the hard work we’ve all put in. And here’s the award, for all you curious minds out there! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/2cc29db4e2d7a6bc200fff8383f1d5cc418fb27b.jpg It goes without saying - thank you to all the people that voted for our game to be both nominated and a winner. Thank you to the organisers too! And big thanks to all of you, our fans, for your continuous support. We are now hard at work on our next adventure - Sherlock Holmes The Awakened.

Dear friends, The moment is finally upon us. We've launched our Kickstarter! As of now, you can be part of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened history. Right now you can make a pledge and score yourself some really unique rewards. We have a collection of digital prizes, discounts, and you can even be included in the game too. If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of our Sherlock Holmes or a Lovecraftian game’s world, now is your chance. To mark the occasion, we’re thrilled to share with you our Sherlock Holmes The Awakened reveal trailer. In this first official footage, we show a young Holmes and Watson fleeing for their lives. A “misunderstanding” of sorts has led the New Orlean Sheriffs' Department to hunt down the duo. After a few near misses from some shotguns, the budding detectives escape into the depths of the surrounding swamps. But something seems noticeably off, let alone with Sherlock, who seems to already be losing his hold on reality. As some of you may know, our country of Ukraine is at war. To give you a bit more insight into the game and how we are making it during this time, watch our special dev diary right here below: https://youtu.be/g8FtvRVTT4M On top of stark images of what has occurred in Ukraine during the invasion, the video explains why we have opted for Kickstarter, how our team is currently dealing with the situation, and more on what The Awakened will be on top of some additional work in progress footage of the game. All the downloadable rewards on Kickstarter will be made available for purchase to all players in the future, but if you support our campaign, you will be getting this content first and at a notable discount, including the game itself. Visit our Kickstarter page, make a pledge, and please support Sherlock Holmes The Awakened. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frogwares/sherlock-holmes-the-awakened Thank you and we’ll speak soon, Your Frogwares Team Add Sherlock Holmes The Awakened to your Wishlist https://store.steampowered.com/app/1949030/Sherlock_Holmes_The_Awakened/

Hello everyone, We hope that you are safe and well. If you are following our social media channels, you might have noticed that we are working on our next game, which is Sherlock Holmes The Awakened. Some time ago we teased our new project as Project Palianytsia. Now we can officially say that our next game is the full from-the-ground-up remake and substantial rewrite of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened - a dark, HP Lovecraft-inspired story infused with the narrative arc of a young Sherlock Holmes taking on his first big case. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/ada3ab6440fd3d3809050b891cd9d897f8923a68.jpg To say we are excited about this game is an understatement. As much as we love a good mystery, we also love the idea of having one of the greatest minds lose control. The Awakened remake sees a young Sherlock take on his first major case alongside his newly acquainted sidekick, John Watson. What seems like a straightforward case of a missing person quickly spirals into a web of conspiracies by a nefarious cult that worships the eldritch god Cthulhu and is attempting to bring about an ancient prophecy. The game will take the detective duo across 4 locations — Victorian London, a Swiss psych ward, the New Orleans bayous, and the Scottish Highlands — as they try to separate reality from the supernatural while trying to put a stop to these shadowy madmen. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/99cb54f5b6d40b7771b0f8072be61bfb52749a17.jpg To bring this game to you, we will be starting a Kickstarter campaign real soon. Why Kickstarter? Well, as you may know, our homeland, Ukraine, is in a state of war. And this war is continually throwing new challenges at us that each time requires we stop, regroup, and adapt. This takes time, effort, and in some cases, money that would normally be marked to fund the production of a game. We have the majority of the game finalised so to speak. However, there is a lot more that we are adding and changing, hence why this is a full remake and not just a remaster. The Awakened’s original horror story has been rewritten. It now features a younger Sherlock and how his bond with Watson was formed through a case filled with truly haunting and traumatic events. We created modern graphics from scratch, remade entire cutscenes, implemented a new third person camera, did a full UI overhaul, reworked many of gameplay mechanics and loads more. We also plan to record and implement all-new voice acting, create additional side quests and add additional investigation mechanics to expand your set of detective tools. We also have some additional features and enhancement ideas that we are considering if knew we had the additional resources and flexibility to do so. And this is where Kickstarter can help us out a lot. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/54c410f1584248915e5dcd89c0d7c0d245633ee8.jpg Through crowdfunding, we can secure all these needs and also safeguard the overall funding of the game, knowing full well we now have the guaranteed means to finish the game and handle any hurdles we could face as this war evolves. This safety net will allow us to put our team’s needs and security first as we adapt to whatever comes next without the fear that doing so will derail our entire development and funding. At the same time, this Kickstarter campaign will allow us to get closer to you too. You’ll be able to receive a copy of our game at a cheaper price than usual. You will be able to get Kickstarter exclusive in-game content. And finally, you’ll get the chance to be etched into our game itself!

If you want to get involved in bringing Sherlock Holmes The Awakened to the world, click on the “Notify Me” button on Kickstarter right here so you know when our campaign will go live.

And please, if you feel our story is worth sharing with someone you know, do so. It’ll help us out tremendously. You can find out more info on Sherlock Holmes The Awakened right here. Take a look - it’s a whole new game you might say. And finally, we will reveal the date of our Kickstarter campaign real soon, so stay tuned. Stay safe and speak soon, Your Frogwares Team

Hello everyone, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One’s release date is getting closer and closer - November 16th to be exact. To give you a further glimpse of how the game plays, we’ve prepared another trailer for you to check out. This time we wanted to give you a deeper dive into the game’s combat. Although smart, Sherlock is certainly not a gun-toting superhero maniac. He must use his wits and brains in battle the same way as he does when solving a crime. If the time to fight comes, look closely and find your opponent’s weak spots, take advantage of the environment itself, or use your snuff box to daze them if they come too close to stun them to gain an advantage. Remember though, Sherlock’s strongest weapon is his mind. Work clever, not hard. Killing is a last resort. If you do decide to gun down your foes, expect to hear about it from your companion Jon. It might impact how he perceives you. Having a disappointed Jon around you can be bad for your mental health. However, if combat is not your thing, you can always choose to skip this part of the game by turning it off in the menu. And finally, remember that you can pre-order Sherlock Holmes Chapter One right now, and receive additional content as well as the full Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments game. Take care and until next time detectives, Yours Frogwares Team

Dear Sherry, Our adventure to Cordona draws ever closer, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what mischief we can bring to that little island. I’m writing to you because I found more postcards in the mail today, they seem to offer a nice little slice of Cordona life. Looks like we’re going to have to get our shoes dirty Sherry, if that’s something you can stand. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/69dd4a6ab3e147987a74472f6b8ff480d7354b0e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/21a0d5ff591cf66b39c1438ecf15b039e957380b.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/ff606450df85868a393d5bf59acdbf92543c2eea.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35895260/ca53ffc860af85ff112c48354ee617e9e5494950.png It sure looks like a Mediterranean paradise filled with all those beautiful, exotic people, but we all know that beautiful islands have their dark mysteries just waiting to be uncovered… I heard that they're going to be talking about us soon. I hope they say all good things about us Sherry. We’ll be seeing each other very soon, but if you need me, I’m always here for you. Your friend, Jon
