    Story too complex, but nice. graphics and sound very good. Gameplay a little boring and confusing.

    Really very well done old-school adventure game. No WASD, no highlighting of usable objects, no in-game help. Patience and rational thinking is the key, my dear player. The voice acting is solid, puzzles pose challenge but everything is purely logical (if somewhat too convoluted ). The engine is old and controls aren't perfect but the game is a great tribute to the world's greatest detective.

    Не понимаю недовольных. Игра классический квест, олдскулы поймут, загадки более логичны чем нынешний игровой треш, история довольно интересная. В свое время пропустил серию игр, сейчас навёрстываю. Прохождением остался доволен 7/10, не шедевр, но игра стоит внимания несмотря даже на устаревшую графику.Не понимаю недовольных.

    The attractive graphics, excellent voice work and relatively coherent , if convoluted, story offer some promise, but a there just isn't enough game in this game.

    Miserable nonsense that would have Holmes reaching for the syringe. Real detective work is tedious, lengthy, frustrating and often pointless. In that sense at least, Silver earring is spot on. This is fun how? [Nov 2004]

    The game features interesting characters, an engaging plot, and beautiful graphics, yet it's an adventure with few puzzles and a mystery where you don't actually solve the mystery.
