Good Old Games Adds Frogwares Adventure Titles

by Rainier on May 18, 2010 @ 5:54 a.m. PDT

GOG.com has signed a digital distribution agreement with Frogwares adding Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring, to be followed shortly by Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, both $9.99 and DRM-free of course.

GOG.com has secured another deal to breathe new life into more titles from PC-gaming history. The agreement with development studio, Frogwares, will bring to GOG.com adventure games full of… well… adventure! Coinciding with the announcement, the first game has been released – Sherlock Holmes™: Secret of the Silver Earring. As with all GOG.com releases, the game is DRM-free and comes with additional materials.

Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring, places players in the boots of one of the most brilliant and intelligent detectives ever to grace the computer screen. Together with his trusted friend Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes is invited to a party hosted by Sir Melvyn Bromsby in honor of the return of his daughter, Lavinia. During his opening remarks Mr. Bromsby is killed by a gunshot in front of Sherlock's very own eyes. But that's only the beginning. As Sherlock and Watson, players need to interrogate all of the witnesses and suspects, analyze discovered items and use their talents of deduction to piece together the clues and find out who is the killer.

“GOG has been showing a lot of interest in adventure titles and are dedicated to the adventure players community,” said Wael Amr, Frogwares CEO. “We're very happy about the cooperation with GOG. Releasing Sherlock Holmes™: Secret of The Silver Earring first seems as the best choice for GOG users - after seducing half million players around the world, the game certainly became a classic title for digital detectives.”

Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring is available from today, Tuesday May 18, for $9.99. The second release from Frogwares - Journey to the Center of the Earth - will be available soon for the same price.
