Just a note to Frogwares - sometimes I have to click in the same place many times before I can get the item to be "found". Like in the suspects folder level 3 I had a lot of trouble with finding the "hair" and getting one of the "shoes".

The game is fantastic and really difficult. If you could find a way to bypass the timer it would be just that much better since it does take one's mind away from the game with worrying about completing within the time-frame.

A big Frogwares fan!

So many games, so little time.

thanks for your feedbacks and your support :), to BrownEyeTigre, the "powers" just left a sms on my mobile phone about timers, I'm sorry that we added them in order to fit better the HOG gameplay standards (while we banned them from our adventure games). I'll look upon this matter on monday.

thehood...Bless your heart! hearts The game is a true gem, I absolutely love it and all the puzzles. You have wrapped up a perfect package and set the bar high for following games. If you can get rid of the timer I will be doing cartwheels backwards in joy.

For the developer information.....Most of us casual gamers would love to see Timers eradicted forever. There are a few who enjoy them, but the game sales would increase with the option to turn it off. They create stress in an environment meant for joy and relaxation. Most of the threads involving games with timers are full of comments wishing they could be turned off. In the case of this fine game, the puzzles thrown in the mix with hidden objects makes it more difficult to do in the alloted time.

Thank you again and looking forward to hearing more news on it.

wave Hey, Ana! I couldn't agree more. There are times, in a game, when the timer can actually be fun in it's challenge, but to have the option of a 'relaxed mode' would be such a plus!


Woohoo and booyah! smile Have an easy peasy day!

After reading some of the comments about this game, I tried the 60 minute trial. The game is interesting, some of the puzzles are a bit difficult, and there is a lot to do in the allotted time. Because of the timer I really couldn't enjoy the game as I felt under pressure the whole time I was playing. If the timer is removed, I will definitely buy the full version.

It is an excellent game lspace and it would be a shame for them to lose out on many sales because of a timer. I feel confident that Frogwares wil come through.

EDIT: I just heard the timer is being removed and that Frogwares is discussing with BigFish today about swapping out the downloads. Yippee!

I am very excited. I really look forward to playing it through in a relaxed mode. For me that is unheard of, because I am not one to replay a game, but this game was most excellent!

Just bought it after the hour,

Keep going, the feeling great at the end.

I have tried many times to play this game and the level i am on is driving me insane let alone stressing me out bad. I love Sherlock games but I am giving up on this one unless the develpers do something about the timer. It actually gets me so agitated that I decided it was not worth playing. I love puzzles but I like to take my time at them and enjoy them. So hers hoping they can change this game so everyone can enjoy it. That would be great uh. Trisha frown rolleyesI guess I should have read the thread above me Ana says the timer is being removed WooHoo. Trisha

Hi, I've seen that there's a Holmes game out there, Persian Carpet. Where are they getting it? Some of the scenes look very familiar Re: MaG's WT, but I haven't read any mention of a new SH game being released. I just finished Nemesis, and wondered about this game.
Thanks, Gillann
