Story
Sherlock is bored. None of the recent cases have been interesting enough to catch his attention. Until one day, when Sherlock receives a message from Moriarty that changes everything. What at first appears to be a classical "damsel in distress" situation, turns into a confrontation with his inner demons. Forced to play Moriarty's insidious game, Sherlock deduces his way through an old film studio to finaly face his arch nemesis.
The game is based on the classic Sherlock Holmes stories, and features many references to the original stories as well as other popular works. This engaging and immersive storyline will keep players hooked from start to finish.
Gameplay
One of the things that sets "Baker Street Breakouts" apart is its focus on puzzles and deduction. Instead of combat or grinding, the game challenges players to use their superior deduction skills and the ability to combine items in order to solve riddles and progress through the game. This makes for a unique and engaging gameplay experience that is sure to keep players on the edge of their seats.
The game features 2 playable characters, 18 NPC characters, and 10 rooms with approximately 1 hour of playtime each. Players will have to find, examine, and combine over 100 items as they make their way through the game. The game also features 18 music tracks and 40 puzzles to solve.

review (Note IndieQuest username AKlasen)
First I'll go over the UI. If it was very clean and user-friendly which made it very easy to understand. The game music really fits the mood of an escape room. I big plus was how high quality the assets were at the level.
Now I myself don't play games like this often but I can tell it is a very thought-out game.
