SherBlock Holmes: Il Velo di Maya

About this game

Strange presences lurk in London. Dive into the foggy alleyways and immerse yourself in the investigation, amid deductions and puzzles. Solve the case and tear through the veil of Maya! In one SherBlock, you get to play as many as two protagonists! Step into the shoes of the incredible Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Flip over the block and play! The rules are very simple and are all contained in the first page. Your adventure starts as John H. Watson, who initially possesses 50 pipes. As you progress through the adventure, this number will eventually increase or decrease based on the choices you make. This pipe system, alongside the multiple possible endings, makes the book highly replayable. On some pages, you will find portions of text written in red: that means you may decide to flip the block to play the adventure as Sherlock Holmes. Holmes will work alongside Watson to get to the bottom of the investigation, but along the way you'll face moral choices where you must decide whether to side with Holmes's reasonings or follow Watson's own instincts. SherBlock Holmes merges the experience of reading a book with that of playing a game: coordinate the investigations of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and you'll brilliantly uncover the truth. —description from the designer
