Play Hearth & Holmes
One of the world's most beloved literary characters...

...is now YOUR problem.

----

Hearth & Holmes is a mystery-solving game set on a backdrop of cozy life simulation.

You play as John Watson, new to his friendship with Sherlock Holmes and desperately trying to cajole his reckless, work-obsessed friend into exercising some level of self-care.

Accompany Holmes through the formative years of his development as a detective:

Should he focus on his Chemistry experiments or on learning the Criminal History of London?
Should he hone his skills in Disguise or in Deduction?
Or should he abandon all other subjects and respond to every challenge he encounters by playing the Violin at it?
Explore life at 221B Baker Street:

Finish writing 'A Study in Scarlet' and try to get it published.
Plot with Mrs. Hudson to make sure Holmes eats breakfast.
Apologize to Irene Norton for pretending to set her house on fire.
Play bridge with Professor Moriarty, who is an innocent college professor and certainly doesn't have any nefarious designs on your friend.
Confront darker matters: Holmes' substance abuse and your own PTSD from the Anglo-Afghan War.
A trailer with captions is available on YouTube.
