Play as your version of Sherlock Holmes in this romance detective game!
THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART
Chapter 3 is out now!
Make an enemy of a friend and a lover out of an enemy. Solve the case of boredom. Have a pet bird—and best of all, play as a romantically and emotionally stunted genius detective!
- Explore London in the late 1800s
- Solve murders, hunt criminals, and possibly catch a thief
- Adventures and tender moments with characters you know and love
- Form deep relationships: friendly, antagonistic, sexual, and romantic
- Choose your Sherlock’s name, appearance, personality, and vice
- Play as a man, woman, or non-binary.
- Romance men, women, or both
The possible relationships:
John/Jane Watson - Dependable, kind, and loyal—a partner and a friend. The human embodiment of a golden retriever.
Gregory/Grace Lestrade - Sexy workaholic grump with a poorly hidden heart of gold. Will make sure you get home safe.
Irene/Irwin Adler - Charming scoundrel, clever schemer, and colossal schmuck. The flirty and fun rival of the century.
Hamish/Helena - This terribly haughty person of illustrious personage needs your help with a case. The gentleman/woman of your unachievable dreams.

Hey, I have a small question that I felt would be better asked on tumblr than on the Discord. If at some point Sherlock ends up realizing Lestrade's gentle gestures like with bringing food for them and such, and brings food for THEM instead as a thanks on the next case... How would Lestrade react to that?
Ohh, that’s like Lestrade’s love language! <3
It would make them speechless and so happy, but also a bit shy and might say they can’t accept it once or twice first. ALSO lol, they would bring the fanciest handmade sandwich to you next time you have a case together.
To summarise, their feelings are always very complex/mixed
- Super happy, all warm inside, smiling without meaning to.
- Now feel indebted, a bit awk, and worried they made you feel you had to do this
I SO BADLY WANNA ADD A SCENE LIKE THIS LATER ON IN THE GAME!!! <3 XD

hello dearest author! I found TASH:AAH (abbreviation struggle 😖) a few days ago and it is AMAZING— I adore the writing and characters you’ve built for these names so much! definitely will do all the routes!
oh, but I do have a NSFW (but fluffy?) question. I saw it a while ago on another blog, and you definitely don’t have to answer if you don’t want to or if it makes you uncomfortable (sorry!!) I was wondering, how would the ROs react to an MC that one day maybe got a little emotional during ‘the act’ and ended up teary-eyed and repeatedly saying ‘I love you…’ ? ‘twas a shower thought, truly.
Ahhh <3<3<3 I love it when people say they will try all the routes!!! 😍 PLZ DO!
Hmmmm, not sure it’s nsfw but I’ll tag it! -.- It might be now…

Can I ask how you write the mean options? I feel so sad making them so sad (Genuinely asking for advice btw)
😯🤔 Are you asking for advice on how to write mean options? Usually it’s poking at the most sore wounds of the recipients psyche, and then going too far so the speaker is no longer clever or retaliating but just generally cruel. I don’t usually feel too bad cause, usually, the one that is being cruel is not the winner in my conversations.
When Sherlock and Mrs Hudson makes fun of Watson, it is Sherlock and Hudson that appear foolish imo.
Same when MC doesn’t hold back on the scathing remark on L. MC is the one who was needlessly cruel, and hurt someone who really only wants the best for them.
Did I understand the question right? 😯❤️
Hello, world! I have no idea how Tumblr works, so have a screenshot of Raze. :P
IT IS UPDATE TIME! For those of you who missed the dirty draft in the discord, the original play link has now been updated with 35 thousand words and two chapters sizzling with exposition, and heated rivalry. I'm so excited!
Here's what's new:
I started this painting like… more than a year ago… but I hadn’t painted in a long while so I decided to finish it as practice.
It’s Clara from @outoftheblue-if ’s amazing story 💖
