About Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Frozen City for Nintendo 3DS

Sherlock Holmes The Mystery of the Frozen City opens with a troubling problem in London, where young people have gone missing and a strange freeze grips the imagination of the city. Holmes and Doctor Watson take the case, questioning witnesses and following clues through homes, streets and hidden corners. The story has a dreamlike edge, with the frozen city itself playing a part in the mystery. It is a slower and moodier adventure than most, built for players who enjoy piecing a story together.

This is a point and click style adventure made for the touch screen. You tap to examine scenes, collect useful objects and use them in the right places to move forward. Logic puzzles and small observation tests break up the exploring, and dialogue scenes slowly reveal what each character is hiding. The Nintendo 3DS version keeps controls simple, so your attention stays on the case rather than the buttons. Careful players who read every note will move fastest.

A note for anyone shopping now: the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, ending new digital sales of this adventure. Searching for a physical cartridge is the realistic path, with retro game shops and online marketplaces being the usual sources. If you bought the digital version before the shop closed, you can still access your purchased games as normal. Prices on older adventure titles move around, so a little comparison helps.

Patient players will enjoy following this cold trail to its end.
