I can imagine that this confrontation of rational versus supernatural, of a detective story universe versus a horrifying myth of Cthulhu may seem a little scary. Due to the linear storyline, you probably got stuck somewhere along the way at some point. Well, be glad we're providing you with a nice walkthrough in case you find Sherlock's job a little too blurry. Enjoy!

Pick up the box of matches on the writing desk. Leave house, speak with the paperboy. You learn of a (Candysnavian) Scandinavian Princess. Move on and speak with Bobby - he gives you directions to The Barnes Bookshop. On the way there you greet Miss Fleming, the flower seller. As you enter the bookshop notice the ladder - it has a scuffmark, also look at the flowerpot on the windowsill. You will speak with the proprietor about 2 books of interest - one on aquatic life, the other about pirates. You will find them on a small table. Examine them in your inventory.
Exit the store. Walking back the way you came you will encounter Watson. Go and speak to him. Enter the courtyard. Watson introduces you to two people: Captain Stenwick and Sergeant Rufles. Question both men.

And so, your investigations begin!
Go round to the rear of the house. Approach the small shed. Find the lock not damaged. As you are about to enter, look up and take the piece of yellow rag. Examine the Maori symbol on the ground. Look in the fire-bowl, examine it with the magnifying glass, and take the stony object from it. Leave the shed to the left. Examine the ground by the far wall. There are footprints, use magnifying glass to inspect them (find a nail missing from the right one) then use the tape measure to find out the size of the shoe. You will also find in the top left part of the screen a fish scale, you will find this by using the magnifying glass. Pick it up. Now exit this screen. Look up at ironwork of wall to see if there's any damage or clues. You will need a ladder! Leave Stenwick's house, go to the left and then take the next left. Follow it to an old fence, and there is a ladder. Go back to the wall (you can get the clue from either side of wall) have ladder icon ready in your inventory, click on it, use ladder to get the fibre. Return to speak with Watson, then enter courtyard and speak with Stenwick again, where you will insult him as well. You then will go back to Baker St to carry out your analysis.

Go to the large desk where your microscope and analyzer are. Sit down. Pick up: Solvent, Water, Acid and Mineral Spirits. Take fiber, place it in microscope. Use tweezers to remove darker bit of fiber. Back out of microscope and use the analyzer. Place that piece of fiber on it, add some solvent. You then receive a clue. Now put the fish scale in the microscope, use tweezers to extract a single scale (if you examined your fish book) Holmes will recognize it. Time to put the stone under the microscope. Use the tweezers to break it open, take the small pellets. Use the analyzer add some acid, you also need some flame. Opium! Finally, look at the rag under the microscope, hmm that's interesting! This part of your investigation is complete.

You will now play Watson. Go out onto the street and speak with the paperboy. He tells you the bodyguard of the Scandinavian Princess has gone missing! You now head over to the bookshop yourself, and are accused of blabbing about the tumble the owner took in his high heels (so as to entice Miss Fleming). On a small table is the book you want - Maoris. Examine it. Retuning to Baker St is your first riddle. If you want to get to chapter 2 you must type in the correct answer: Thames or Harbor.

Enter Pub. Speak with the bar keeper. Speak with the man with a hook. Exit Pub, turn left and cross the bridge. Knock on the Anchor-marked building. Speak with the Nepalese woman. Take her son's medallion. Seek the drunken mailman and get his bottle. Return to the pub and speak with the bar keeper. Enter private area and note the markings on table (You will need it later). Get the rope outside the house with anchor mark. Find the smuggler's house and show him the medallion. (He tells you to go to Warehouse 12.) Show him the bottle and pick up the package. Return to the Pub. Open the package in your inventory with the knife and it will reveal the arm. Give the man with hook the wooden arm and pick up his hook.

Find Warehouse 12 (the one with lights at door). Combine rope and hook and go to the front of warehouse 12. Look up, use hook to catch on the gap above door. As Watson, clean the window so you can see the hook inside behind the door. Move the pick and sooner or later you will pick up the lock on the floor.

Climb up the boxes with planks again and push the filled pot to the far end of the room where you can see a rope hanging off another pulley. Climb the other boxes with planks and tie the rope to the filled pot. Go to the heavy door on the floor. Tie the rope to the door. Climb to the filled pot and use knife to cut original rope. The door opens.

Use the lamp. On the left press the middle button, go to the right and press the top button, then press the bottom button, then return to the left side and press the top button. The door should open.

Climb the stairs and you will see a dead body. Pick up the statue near the head. Look at the body's hands. Dust and notice the small puncture in one of the fingers. Climb down and look at the clothes. Pick up the paper. Near the clothes there is a black kind of marking - look at it. Climb back to the statue and look at the steel piece on the left. Use Advertisement on it and then use coal to do a rubbing. The following cutscene is gruesome. Snakes are coming out of the dead body and the head is falling off.
