@Doriana-Gray

Thank you so much for the fixes and feedback!!!

My pleasure.

@Doriana-Gray

Yes

Moriarty will not be appearing in this game, because they’re WRITING IT, apparently. >_>

@Doriana-Gray

They’re definitely coming!

Yay!

[TheDiamondTyrant]

Very nice update! Was fun to play through again.

As always falling for the lovely Grace Lestrade, our lovable grump! <3

Very interested to see what happens next.

[aliyaah]

I really enjoyed the update. Keep up the good work

This simply has to get published someday, it’s so creative

[Dannie]

I lovedlovedlovedlovedLOVED the update @Doriana-Gray, congrats on being an amazing writer/storyteller

I really liked the tone of this update, how Sherlock can be so brilliant and senseless at the same time!!! Like, it’s so funny to think of a prim and proper Sherlock SCREECHING at a bird because they are so knowledgeable about this particular kind!!! And Watson putting up with their antics, lmao such a great scene 10/10

I also love aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the customization choices, i’m a sucker for pretty dresses and jewels and fancy hairdos I’m super in love with the clothing choices, I’m so happy I can pick cute, adorable clothes for my Sherlock!! Sorry not sorry for raving, this game has a lot of things that make me happy.

Will the ROs ever find out about what Sherlock keeps in their pocket? THAT would be great, especially with certain choices, like:

Watson: * discovers the ring has a hidden compartment full of white powder * … Sherlock, please tell me this is NOT cocaine.

Sherlock: Watson, don’t be silly. Of course it’s not…

Watson: Oh thank—

Sherlock: …it’s crystal cyanide salt.

Watson: What.

Sherlock: Yes, it’s a highly soluble poison! Very effective. * They smile at Watson, looking way too pleased with themselves *

Watson: …How could you put that—

Sherlock: Not me, Mycroft. He gave it to me.

Watson: Why would he—

Sherlock: For self defence, of course. Best to be prepared for anything!

Watson: I… I… I need a drink.

@Dannie

Watson: I… I… I need a drink.

nooooo watson!!! weren’t you paying attention??? the poison is highly soluble, you need to watch your drink :,(

Aww, that is very sweet! Thank you

@Dannie !!! OMG—Your message made me happy!! And your scenario is so brilliant—and too true!!!
Each outfit also have two ROs that like it (a little extra)—if I remember correctly, the cute/charming one is loved by H and W the most.

Sherlock would never… right?

[divinehydra]

@Doriana-Gray

Sherlock would never… right?

oh, MY sherlock would never – i’m obviously a huge watson simp xDD

Edit:

@Doriana-Gray

I love a simp + simp, it’s very cute

That perfectly describes it, and i love it too xD

@Doriana-Gray

Hamish/Helena - This terribly haughty person of illustrious personage needs your help with a case. The gentleman/woman of your unachievable dreams.

When will we be able to meet them?

[Cingulum_diaboli]

Next chapter, I guess.

[Doriana-Gray]

Yes! Next chapter and update like @Cingulum_diaboli said H is very excited to see you all (and I’m very excited for you all to meet them!)

[Cingulum_diaboli]

My Sherlock’s enthusiasm at meeting:

“Oh, one of the fancy idiots wants my help?Probably it’s some trivial thing again, like stolen trinket or blackmail over past affair…”

I’ve been stalking this thread for some time now, but was reluctant to play the demo because I am not a big fan of the “old times” & I was sure I wouldn’t like it…well…I guess I am in L O V E now with this
I played the demo with different paths & ROs. I just wanted to say that the writing is absolutely beautiful, it flows so nice & is easy to read. It was such a pleasure to be immersed in this world and the case, I love the characters, the set & flow of the scenes & how the world around Sherlock works. I truly am sooooo happy that I read it, because it is amazing, I cannot wait for the next update!

aaaand I’m so intrigued about X & hope they will be…maybe a RO?

@Doriana-Gray

@Dannie !!! OMG—Your message made me happy!! And your scenario is so brilliant—and too true!!!

Whyyyyy, ty!!! I also had a good laugh writing it lol An uber-smart but with -1000 common sense Sherlock is great, lotsa potential for disaster

@Doriana-Gray

Each outfit also have two ROs that like it (a little extra)—if I remember correctly, the cute/charming one is loved by H and W the most.

FR??? I’m unintentionaly making Watson’s ideal Sherlock xd Lemme guess everyone’s favs:

• Proper/Formal: H and… Lestrade? Idk, 100% sure of H tho.
• Daring/Bold: Adler (def A ) and ??? Not Lestrade, they would combust on the spot xd, but I can’t see Watson interested in a plunging neckline. Idk, pls throw me a hint
• Cute/Charming: H and W, confirmed.
• Simple/Plain: L and Adler? Or Watson, but Lestrade I’m super sure.

@Doriana-Gray

@Doriana-Gray

I love a simp + simp, it’s very cute

Oblivious + simp is also a great combination, def funnier to watch

[i_like_haikus]

A beautifully written work of art. I love it, adore it, cherish it.

[divinehydra]

@i_like_haikus

This work of fine art –
That we love, adore, cherish –
Enriches the soul.

(i rewrote your comment as a bad haiku xD)

[Anatoly_Crenshaw]

This work is awesome! I love Lestrade and Watson. When Lestrade (male for mine) offered us half the sandwich I knew he was the one. He’s adorable. And Watson is so nice to the MC, got to feed our gremlin. And I got a bird, so… we’ll see where that goes. I can’t wait to see the other ro’s too! But take your time!

Aww I currently have planned some cosy H moments, so this will work really well. I have planned 2 versions of their romance, one which is “power couple equal partners” and one which is basically “H takes care of MC like a bird with a broken wing”—which one do you think your MC might fall into? (I might also add a third—flirty improper frenemy MC towards proper H, but im still working out the kinks there).

@Van1llaPudd1ng Aww, I think this is going to be one of those comments I return to over and over to when I feel low Thank you so much for your words! Which was your favourite RO so far you think?

X is… well they are different than the rest. But I can say that… I know exactly what you all want with X, and I have no intentions of disappointing y’all with that

@Dannie

FR??? I’m unintentionaly making Watson’s ideal Sherlock xd Lemme guess everyone’s favs:

Close!!
It’s
Proper/formal (its also rich and very trendy outfit) so: A and H
Daring/sexy: A and L (L has a habit of liking things that are bad for them…)
Cute/charming: H and W
Simple/plain: W and L

@Dannie

Oblivious + simp is also a great combination, def funnier to watch

True!!

@i_like_haikus

@Anatoly_Crenshaw
Awww I’m glad u like em!!!

@Anatoly_Crenshaw

got to feed our gremlin

@Anatoly_Crenshaw

I can’t wait to see the other ro’s too!

The next one is coming in the coming update And then the final one at the ball

[JBento]

@Doriana-Gray

Simple/plain: W and L

Haha, I picked the outfit for the best RO pair and didn’t know it!
