''Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened'' is a First-person Adventure Game developed by Frogwares and published in 2006 on DVD for Windows . The game follows an original plotline as Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. John H. Watson investigate a series of strange disappearances related to the Cthulhu Mythos .

The third in the ''. This is the first game in the series to tackle supernatural elements such as the Cthulhu Mythos, the previous two games having fairly traditional (albeit original) Holmesian plots.


GAMEPLAY

Unlike the fixed third-person perspective of the previous Frogwares title ''Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring'', ''The Awakened'''s gameplay takes place in an entirely real-time 3D landscape and from a first-person perspective, losing the Pre-rendered backgrounds of its predecessor.

Although the game has adopted the view popularized by the First-person Shooter genre, it retains the Point-and-click aspect of most adventure games, giving the player the ability to complete the game using the mouse alone.
