Our Kickstarter campaign is now in full swing - and blowing away all of our expectations. Thank you (yes you!), for all of your support, kind words, and pledges. When we started our Kickstarter campaign, we had a bit of an idea of what we can expect. But we certainly didn’t expect this. This is wild. So thank you for playing a part in bringing our game to life. Today we wanted to give you a bit of info on our main character, Sherlock Holmes. After all, since we’ll be stepping into his shoes, we might as well get to know him a little better.
Sherlock Holmes
The story of The Awakened takes place a few years after the events in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. Our Sherlock is still unknown, far away from the fame that he will have in his later years. Living in London together with his relatively new roommate, and somewhat of a friend John Watson (although the concept of “friendship” is still a bit foreign to him), Sherlock is starting to dip his toes into being a detective. He is known around the neighbourhood as the “go-to” man if you’re missing something, but it is still all local fame. He hasn’t got a big, juicy case yet.. But this is all about to change…
Sherlock Holmes outfits concept
The Sherlock from The Awakened is a young 25-year-old confident man who has an undeniable air of genius around him. No matter where he walks in, he is the smartest person in that room. If unoccupied, his mind rushes with thoughts that sometimes open old wounds. To stop that from happening, Sherlock keeps it busy. He hates boredom. Our Sherlock is a free spirit that doesn’t shy away from eccentricity or theatrics. And most importantly, he believes that everything can be rationally explained. The most mysterious thing only seems mysterious because we know little about it. But everything becomes evident when you take a closer look. Everything can be explained. He trusts his mind’s judgement. But when his mind played tricks on him in the past, a bit of paranoia crept in ever since.
Sherlock and John
As with each story that we make, we want our characters to grow by the time the credits roll. The Sherlock that you will meet in the beginning will be a different man by the time the case is solved. What will his transition be like? Well, that is for you to experience yourself.
Thanks for spending that little bit of time with us. We hope that you like the sound of our Sherlock. And once again, thank you for all your support so far. There is still time before the campaign ends, so if you would like to make a pledge or if you would like to upgrade the pledge you’ve already made, you can do so right now. We will be back real soon with more info about Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, so stay tuned to your inbox! And as always, if you have any questions, just ask away.
