The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo

Released in 1996 for DOS, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo brings you back to foggy Victorian London, where murders, morphine, and moustaches abound. Holmes and Watson are at it again, deciphering clues, interrogating suspiciously polite Englishmen, and collecting enough evidence to make Scotland Yard look completely unnecessary. The writing is sharp, the atmosphere is rich with gaslight and grime, and the puzzles make you feel clever — until they don’t. It’s a detective adventure that rewards patience, keen observation, and an unhealthy love for magnifying glasses.
