They made Sherlock Holmes hot (again)
Konami announced yesterday at the Future Games Show thatCrimesightwill be coming out April 14th. It looks like a combination of Cluedo, Sherlock Holmes, and what I think are evil artificial intelligence anime spirits. Crimesight only allows up to four players, but you’ll be exploring a snowed-in cottage as you try to either work out who the murderer is, or help them win. You can take a look at the trailer below.

Playing the game itself is equally complex, as Crimesight is based around three special unplayable characters: Sherlock, Moriarty and Irene, all of whom are AI. Sherlock’s out to prevent murders, whereas the other two would like nothing more. Every match fills the game with standard avatars who roam the snowy cottage as well, which is where the players come in. One avatar gets assigned as the “target,” and another as the “villain." Everybody gets benign tasks to keep them occupied and every few rounds there’s a couple of surprise twists thrown in. So it’s likeAmong Us, only with Sherlock Holmes but if Sherlock Holmes was a computer, which is what I’ve always said it was lacking.
