Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments THE FATE OF BLACK PETER
3Set in the year 1894 and reaching into 1895 during the time of The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, the overarching plot is that a group of terrorists calling themselves the Merry Men are attempting to overthrow the government, and free the people of the United Kingdom from debt. The game features six separate cases, some of which are direct adaptations of original Sherlock Holmes canon by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each case is self-contained and apart from in-game achievements, such as moral choices, do not relate to one another. The cases are as follows:
The Fate of Black Peter: Holmes is engaged by Inspector Lestrade to investigate the murder of Peter Carey, known as Black Peter, an ill-tempered whaling captain who was found impaled on the wall of his garden cabin with a whaling harpoon. The case is an adaptation of "The Adventure of Black Peter". This specific case likely takes place prior to the events of Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper, as the murder weapon in this case is displayed on the wall of 221B Baker Street, which largely takes place between September and November 1888.
Riddle on the Rails: Sherlock's brother Mycroft asks him to look into the Merry Men, a band of anarchists plotting an attack on London. Sherlock refuses since he is not interested in politics, and he continues on a trip with Watson to rural Staffordshire. A week later, Holmes and Watson plan to take a train back to London but the train mysteriously vanishes. They investigate the disappearance of the train. This story adapts elements from "The Lost Special".
Blood Bath: Lestrade tells Holmes about a political incident concerning the Merry Men, but Holmes again refuses to get involved. However, he does agree to investigate the murder of a renowned archaeologist who was found dead in the locked steam room of the Roman Baths in London. Holmes delves into an investigation featuring three suspects and the Cult of Mithras.
The Abbey Grange Affair: Sir Eustace Brackenstall, an aristocrat of violent temper, has allegedly been murdered by a trio of burglars who also took his wife hostage and stole his silverware. Holmes pursues the culprit or culprits while questioning the veracity of the lady's statement. The story is adapted from "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange".
The Kew Gardens Drama: An old friend (from The Testament of Sherlock Holmes) asks Holmes to investigate the theft of some exotic plants at the Kew Gardens. The investigation takes a new turn as the Director of the Gardens is revealed to have died a few days before the theft and Holmes suddenly finds himself investigating a possible murder.
A Half Moon Walk: The older brother of Wiggins, Holmes' chief Baker Street Irregular, has been charged with double murder and Wiggins asks Holmes to clear his brother's name. The case soon begins to have a whole new aspect featuring men who disappear from plain sight.
At the end, Holmes confronts the Merry Men after learning more about their plan during the last case. They attempt to reason with him that their goal is for the benefit of the people. Holmes can choose to allow them to carry out their plan, or to stop them, though he will not take them into custody.
