Having smashed their Kickstarter goal after only a few days since its launch, Frogwares has narrowed down the release date for their upcoming remake of their 2006 game Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. The Lovecraft/ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle mashup will arrive in February 2023, with the Kickstarter campaign having raised an estimated 320% more than what was initially requested.

“The overall outpouring of support and kind words for the team through this campaign has been overwhelming,” says Sergey Oganesyan of Frogwares. “All of our backers have given us something truly positive to focus on and a safety net that allows us to make the game at our own pace.  We will forever be indebted to these people who came to our side when it felt like our entire lives were falling apart.”

In addition, Frogwares also released new screenshots for Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, which you can find below.

The Awakened puts you up against the legendary Cthulhu Mythos. Holmes must investigate a series of mysterious disappearances that are apparently linked to a dark cult that worships an ancient God. The pursuit of the truth pushes Sherlock to the verge of madness, and it’s the only story that Watson will never publish.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

For those visual novel fans who have devoured Slay The Princess after its recent major update, and are looking for more, can check out 2P Games and Universe Studio’s Japanese-style horror mystery visual novel, Other Side of Mist and Mountain. Available now on Steam with a 10% launch discount until April 11, the game transports you back to 2010, with you investigating the disappearance of your girlfriend five years earlier.

Other Side of Mist and Mountain centres on Shizuno Yokoyama, a young man who became a detective after the disappearance of his girlfriend Maha back in 2005. Maha had mysteriously vanished at a train station on her way to a flash mob organized by an occult forum. What’s even stranger is that the train station itself disappeared too.

Now specialized in investigating occult cases, Shizuno has never stopped searching for Maha. Suddenly some new cases bring clues that might get him closer to an answer — but as his investigation deepens, so does the web of mysteries.

Players will solve puzzles and investigate clues to advance through a story that blends elements of horror, mystery, deduction, and folk tales. Your choices matter, as depending on the decisions you make along the way, they will trigger different storylines. As you explore the world around you and engaging in dialogues with a variety of characters, you’ll need to pay attention to every little detail in each scene in order to solve the mystery of Maha’s disappearance.
