New Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack The Ripper screenshots get gothic


Focus Home Interactive is closing in on the release of Sherlock Holmes Vs. Jack The Ripper, the latest game in the adventure game series that stars Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective. This week the publisher sent over some new screenshots from the game that we have added to our gallery.

Developed by Frogwares, the game pits the greatest fictional crime-fighter of all time against the very real Jack The Ripper serial killer. The game itself combines the traditional third person "point-and-click" gameplay with a first person viewpoint as well, along with a "original crime scene reconstitution system". Sounds kinda icky, actually. The game is scheduled for release for the PC next month.
