Is it still worth playing?

You play mainly Sherlock Holmes, with Doctor Watson, the Basset Hound Toby and Constable Marrow playable briefly. It is an adventure mystery game from 2014, set in London and its suburbs in 1894 and 1895. Most of the game is exploring crime scenes and examining clues, which are added to a deduction board where pieces of information are linked together. Depending on how the clues are read the player reaches different conclusions, and can fail or succeed in finding the culprit. The player also decides whether to absolve or condemn the criminal, and that moral choice influences further play. Each case has three to five possible solutions and six to ten different endings. A case that can end in different ways is still a reason to replay a crime scene.
