uuuuuuuwwww ok, my theory
It will be a trap we will be tricked intoā¦we will finally get a face to faceā¦maybe right in our face 
some back & forth heated aggressive words that will be exchanged & in the heat of the moment a kiss because MC needs to be shut up & is just sooooo irresistible

Omfg I canāt believe I didnāt found this before! ITāS INSANELY good, the writing, the pacing, the attention to detailā¦ the characters are extremely charming and you have so many options when interacting with them!!! I usually donāt read mysteries nor Iām even acquainted with Sherlock Holmes beyond the basic cultural references, but Iām hooked into this. Now Iām even wishing to have remained in blissful ignorance till the game was complete, bc Iām so impatient 
I wish you the best of luck and Iāll be following this thread, thank you for sharing your work with us! Consider me a huge fan 
Edit: I wanted to add this, this is me when I have to interact with any RO:

This has everything I wish for when it comes to a COG. Romance, flawed and interesting characters, massive character customisation thatās just
, set in an historical setting and a story thatās both interesting and fun. Canāt wait to see where this is going!

Chapter 4 is out now!
Iāve updated the questions I would love specific feedback on in the intro post!
Ch4 H guide
-
If the maid/footman brought you tea, you are on the simp scenes.
-
If Mrs Hudson brought the tea, you are not on the simp scenes.
Spoilery guide to getting different H dynamics:
Summary
H prefers being ācorrectā, and more subtle or witty flirting.
Full-simp:
-
Donāt wear the bold outfit, (additionally, H prefers the charming, the delicate, and the proper outfits.)
-
Have a good reputation.
-
Get enough approval points (one easy way is to wake up early and get dolled up, or if you wake up later, make sure not to keep them waiting too much.)
-
Not lose those approval points by being rude
Half-simp:
-
Have not quite enough approval at the start of the meeting or wear bold
-
you will be met by a neutral H, buuutāif they still think well of you at the time for tea, you will get the following simp scenes after that.
-
(Obligatoryāaccepting leads to non-simp scenes, declining invitation leads to scenes hereā) decline the ball invitation and get them to beg while also suddenly realising they need to be nice to youā¦ and then say yes and savour the fruit of a more friendly H.
Non-simp:
Itās really easy:
-
be rude, aggressively flirty/sexual, or offensive to victorian ideals.
-
or wake up late and really take your time and have a bad reputation.
Things I'm thinking of adding for the chapterā
- Possibly more choices or additional MC personalities or flirt choices.
- H more or more varied descriptions.
- Additional content to non-simp route, cause some of the versions there feel a bit too short and hands off.

Yay, new chapter! Iām at work, so unfortunately I canāt play right away (ugh), but looking at the guide I can already see that my Sherlock is too naughty for H. Well, I hope Iāll be able to get enough points for āhalf-simpā path at the very least. Or maybe it wasnāt meant to be.

Just finished chapter 4, and am loving it so far.
I did find a bug in chapter 4, after starting to talk to H, there are three or four instances where my male Sherlock is referred to as āUndefinedā - Iām not sure if thatās missing a āsirā or my detectiveās surname, but figured Iād mentioned that.
Canāt wait for the next chapter and more Lestrade. Heās my favourite - love the angsty hidden feels between the two of them, and my Sherlock teasing him and leaving him sputtering - that romance is gonna be fun!

Lots of spoilers, so I'll put it under the cut.
So, I finished readingā¦ and I was right, H hates my Sherlock!
I tried different dialogue options, but I didnāt manage to get āsimpā or even āhalf-simpā scenes. I tried to change outfit from bold to another one, but it wasnāt enough. I guess a bad reputation is the deciding factor? I canāt change it though, it wouldnāt be in-character for my Sherlock (named Cecil, btw). Iāll have to make a more demure and proper MC later for H, then.
After all hope to appeal to Hamish was gone, I decided to abandon all pretense and made Hamish spill tea on his pants with my Cecilās inappropriate comments. Totally worth it!
Itās funny how my MC was compared to a devil two times within this one chapter. In the letter by M the MC was described as ādevilishā, is it because of the infamous reputation?
Watsonās appearance was short, but very fruitful; we witnessed two completely different sides of them.
Adorable Watson: ā¦Are those my biscuits? 
Badass Watson: You hire him, you hire me. 
I love the duality!
The disrespect the pigeon received in this chapter was outrageous: āNeel, I am aware it is ugly. Please donāt remind meā¦ā Rude, Sherlock!
This is the end of my ramblings. Sorry, itās not a very useful feedback, but I wanted to share my random impressions, because this story is always such a joy to read! 
Iāll make myself useful and answer this question:
My impression of H after playing with my naughty Sherlock: they have a stick up their arse! And they canāt take a joke (albeit a vulgar one). This is not a bad criticism, on the contrary - I liked this side of their character. As I said, I failed to make H like my Sherlock, so instead I would very much enjoy scenes where I can deliberately annoy them. For all the devilish Sherlocks!
