Sherlock Holmes The Awakened PC Controls & Key Bindings Guide

Fog hovers over a dark dank bog as two men gently paddle through the acrid water. They are clearly on a mission but what they are looking for is anyone’s guess. People don’t really explore these parts. These waters are haunted by a mysterious cult, one that worships a being that warps & twists the human mind until it breaks. As they approach the answers they seek, they also get closer to peering into an abyss that threatens to take away their sanity.

This is the situation in Sherlock Holmes The Awakened. Frogwares’ latest entry to their detective video game series combines the well constructed mysteries & deduction of their previous games with the terror and cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft’s body of work. I have loved every Sherlock game before this one but The Awakened seems like it will be on a whole other level.

The Awakened uses complex mystery-solving mechanics to simulate cracking a case, and adds a few new horror-related mechanics to flesh out the setting. Players will need to have a solid understanding of the game’s controls in order to succeed, and we have your back in that regard.

With our Sherlock Holmes The Awakened PC controls & key bindings guide you will have all of the control information required to solve the many mysteries of The Awakened, and all of it is laid out in a well organized manner.
