The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, the new investigation video game developed for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC by Frogwares, today unveiled a new video teaser. This video immerses us in the dark ambiance of the game, in which the very personality of the famous detective is explored, and his true nature called into question.
