Editor's Description

Watson and Holmes

In the third case, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusted assistant, Dr. Watson, are investigating a mysterious kidnapping case.

Almost immediately, they are confronted by a formidable organization that worships a primal god, Cthulhu. This bloodthirsty sect seems to be ready to do anything in order to carry out its mysterious work against which only the great detective has the strength to fight.

It is up to you to uncover the threat that is menacing humankind; it is up to you to stop the activities of this organization!

A story which melds Holmes' rationalism with H.P. Lovecraft's supernaturalism, "The Awakened" leads you from the undergrounds of London to the isolated summits of Switzerland, from the sweltering bayou of New Orleans to the dense Scottish fog... Guaranteed thrills.
