Play Meitantei Holmes - Kiri no London Satsujin Jiken (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Meitantei Holmes is one of those weird, charming NES detective games where you play as Sherlock Holmes solving a murder in foggy London. It’s all in Japanese, so unless you’re fluent or patient with guides, expect a lot of trial-and-error clicking through dialogue. The pixel art’s surprisingly moody—lots of dim alleys and flickering gas lamps—and the music nails that eerie Victorian vibe. Not the deepest mystery, but there’s something oddly satisfying about piecing together clues when half the text might as well be hieroglyphics.
