Frogwares has announced that it is working on a remake and substantial rewrite of its 2006 game, Sherlock Holmes The Awakened. In addition, the team has shared its first screenshots that you can find below.
Previously teased under the name Project Palianytsia, The Awakened is a dark, HP Lovecraft-inspired story infused with the narrative arc of a young Sherlock Holmes taking on his first big case once he settled in London.
The Awakened will be coming to all major platforms with a Kickstarter campaign set to launch soon to help secure the game’s final production funds and offer fans a few more bonuses and rewards for supporting the studio at a time when their country is at war.
The first official trailer, a video update from the team, and more details about gameplay mechanics will be released alongside the start of the Kickstarter campaign.
Enjoy the following screenshots and stay tuned for more!

How this company is still afloat is a mystery with all the garbage mediocre jank it produces .
Magrunner was pretty cool
It was nothing special tbh an poor man’s Portal ….with their signature Jank !
nah, the Sinking City was total kino in spite of bugs and some bad decisions. This team has talent, and they have the ability to nail Lovecraftian atmosphere. This studio, – after releasing Sinking City – got the attention of smart, non-plebbit people who can form their own opinions instead of regurgitating normie opinions to fit in
Lol someone got triggered by my “own opinion “
I adored this one back in the day. The only Sherlock Holmes game that got my interest cause of the Lovecraftian theme added to it. Kinda interested to see where this remake will go.
At least he doesn’t look like he is from a Twilight movie in this one.
D.O.A
I hope it’s open-world again; I liked both The Sinking City and SH: Chapter One. In addition to the open worlds, there was a lot more focus on detective work, instead of chess puzzles and so forth.
my condolences on your bad tastes.
and he already looks like a queer.
So ya like his look?
Aren’t those games tremendously niche? a remake? seriously? im a fan of Holmes in the books, i have yet to find a game that does the character some justice.
I never even heard of or remember the first one.
The Sinking city was ok for about ten hours, but turning 180 and watching all the NPCs drop in was immersion breaking. Some of the investigations were broken also .Good atomsphere though.
