After being delayed from an original 2010 release, the game was released in Europe on 20 September 2012 and in North America on 25 September 2012. The game was developed primarily for consoles, and features a new graphic engine and gameplay mechanics. It is based on the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of 56 short stories and 4 novels by Arthur Conan Doyle. Like many other games in the series, the game itself presents an original story and plot that is not based on any of Doyle's works. ''The Testament of Sherlock Holmes'' is set in the London of 1898, with Holmes presented as the main suspect in a case in which he is unable to prove his innocence. ==Plot== In London, 1898, Holmes has just successfully solved a new case by retrieving a priceless set of jewels that had been stolen. Unfortunately, the jewels' owner reveals that the necklace Holmes returned to him is a pale imitation and everything seems to incriminate the detective. During the next sequences, Holmes tells Watson he has an immediate appointment with the Bishop of Knightsbridge. Upon arriving, he discovers that the bishop has been tied up, burnt and mutilated. A new character named Inspector Baynes also appears. Investigating the bishop, Holmes learns his murderers are a group of poor workers from a nearby cemetery. He also finds that the murderers had a poison that caused a form of psychotic madness. Investigating a compatible poisoning case, Holmes interviews Hans Scheilman, the Rat Killer, who describes the poisoner as using the initial murders as tests, as the poison is volatile and can not yet be stored for long periods. Realizing that Scheilman has an accomplice in the prison, Holmes engineers his escape using Scheilman's poison, similar to scopolomine, to allow Scheilman to escape and then wait for Holmes to come and collect him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Testament of Sherlock Holmes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
