"Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened" was released in 2023 as a remake of the 2006 PC game of the same name. The new version reworks the storyline, positioning it as a sequel to the 2021 title "Sherlock Holmes Chapter One," while also allowing newcomers unfamiliar with previous entries to enjoy it independently.
The game is set in 1882. Players take on the role of Sherlock Holmes, investigating a series of mysterious disappearances and gradually uncovering their connection to a dark cult worshipping ancient deities. The story also depicts Holmes's early experiences as he rises to fame as a detective.
The discounted item is the Deluxe Edition, which includes the base game plus six additional missions: "House of Shadows," "Outer Gods," "Silver Tide," "The Frog in the Wall," "Children's Dreams," and "Destiny," along with the "Detective's Wardrobe" cosmetic pack.
The full game takes approximately 9 to 11 hours to complete. Players interested in purchasing the Deluxe Edition should note that the $5 discount will end on September 21.
