Back in 1992, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel set the bar for pixelated deduction. A famous actress is dead, and every gentleman in London seems guilty. Between the brilliant dialogue, beautifully drawn streets, and some genuinely tricky logic puzzles, it’s one of the few games that makes you feel like the world’s greatest detective instead of a clueless bystander. Think of it as CSI: 1890s Edition — no fingerprints, no forensics, just pure brainpower and a solid appreciation for tweed.
