‘Sherlock Holmes: Detective Adviser’
The great pain of this game, which basically is all text, is that it is practically irrefutable, since once resolved each case of the ten that come in the original loses some grace. However it is a difficult game, complicated but ideal to create a night of mystery and murder at home … or, real story, a cluedo camp.
