Crimes & Punishments, the latest Sherlock Holmes investigation game scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 in Q2 2014, can now reveal its new trailer, "Justice and Morality", and will be updating the Devblog!

This new video shows Sherlock and Watson puzzling over the scene of the crime: Sherlock may think he has identified the guilty party, but he has yet to decide if handing them over to Scotland Yard is the right thing to do…

The video demonstrates the fantastic freedom of action in Crimes & Punishments: not only can you conduct your investigation in the way you think fit as you pursue various lines of enquiry, but you will also have to make real moral choices once you’ve solved the case. Indeed, the clues you uncover and the avenue you wish to pursue - or not - in each of the 7 cases in the game will point to 10 suspects in a single case.
Your logical deduction alone will enable you to determine who, in your opinion, the true culprit is. But remember: you could put an innocent victim behind bars if you overlook certain clues or trails! Once you establish the perpetrator of the deed, you must then bear the responsibility of deciding what to do with this information... will you carry out the letter of the law, or will you be guided by your moral compass? Carefully consider the consequences of your actions, because every choice you make will have repercussions later in the game!

Don’t forget too that Crimes & Punishments has its own Devblog which is regularly updated by the various Frogwares teams with all the relevant, varied and fascinating info on the game development. Today’s post describes the different puzzles, brain-teasers and other specific situations in Crimes & Punishments that will force Sherlock to draw upon his many talents!

Crimes & Punishments will be released on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 in Q2 2014.

Crimes & Punishments, the new Sherlock Holmes investigation game on PC, Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®4 developed by Frogwares studios, can today reveal the brand new official site. To mark the occasion, we would also like to unveil a series of 4 hitherto unseen images where we observe the world-famous detective scouring some of the crime scenes in the 7 thrilling cases in the game.

Optimised for navigation on both smartphones and tablets, the Crimes & Punishments site is a real mine of information on the new Sherlock Holmes investigation game. Here you will not only find a rich gallery of screenshots and videos, but everything you need to know about the title: its aims, production and, above all, a vast amount of information on the 14 original gameplay mechanics that have been designed to convey the feeling of BEING the renowned Sherlock Holmes, whose extraordinary gifts and talents you can exploit to the max.

The new screenshots are also available in the extensive site gallery, and represent an important step forward in the Sherlock Holmes investigation series. The switch to Epic's Unreal Engine 3 from the in-house game engine has produced a far richer, more immersive and detailed rendering of the environments and characters. This change in technology has also allowed Frogwares to develop new investigation mechanics that enable you to become the great Sherlock Holmes himself!
