Sherlock Holmes The Awakened-ViTALiTY
Here’s another new adventure based on popular Sherlock Holmes serie. The Awakened follows previous Holmes’ adventure The Silver Earring, and doesn’t bring anything new in this genre except of nice 3D graphics supporting “black” atmosphere of crime investigation. It’s also title of the new movie, which should be released in 2007. No surprises in this package, you know what are you going into…
The game has traditional Point & Click game play, in a real time 3D environment, while offering numerous enigmas and varied puzzles including some that use physics and light for the first time.
The game, based on an excellent scenario, plunges the player into the heart of a terrifying investigation. Sherlock Holmes, assisted by the loyal Doctor Watson, investigates strange disappearances which seem related to the activity of a secret sect. The adventure begins in London, in the renowned Baker Street, taking us then to investigate a disturbing psychiatric hospital near Bale, Switzerland, then on to Louisiana and finally to Scotland.
Sherlock Holmes – The Awakened offers rewarding gameplay, a true symbiosis of two technologies specific to adventure games: WARP (used in the first Myst or Amerzone) which allows first-person movement in pre-calculated decors; and 3D surroundings, which allows the character to be controlled and to become a spectator of the adventure, thus offering a large freedom of movement. The advantage of mixing these two game modes provides a greater diversity of scenario, interaction with more people and a high factor of realism. You will also be challenged by puzzles in 3D, linked to physics for example, in which the weight of objects can be used to trigger mechanisms, and others using dynamic light, where a torch might be used to light, in real time, certain places in order to reveal clues or other secrets and passageways.
Game features:
- Join Sherlock Holmes in the most terrifying adventure of his career.
- An original confrontation between the universe of Sherlock Holmes and the myth of Cthulhu, for a battle between the rational and the supernatural.

- Become, in turn, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Doctor Watson.

This game is rather ‘cuntish’. Most Americans are simply too thick to complete this game.
@JAM
(VG) means Video Game
anyway can some post the patch for it
Sherlock.Holmes.The.Awakened.Update.1.1-ViTALiTY
Ah, you’ve gotta love the irony inherent in mindless America bashing. ‘Cause, ya’ know, all Americans are dumb, fat, and lazy, whilst everyone everywhere else are thin, brilliant, and hard working.
Nothing like a mindless stereotype to prop up the fragile ego, eh?
What exactly does “cuntish” mean!? I’m a dumb American, I’m going to try this out.
@ Santa El Helper
THe movie with the same name comes out in mid 2007
Cuntish means this game is for people who are afraid of guns, poverty, and diversity. It’s distinctly English.

try isohunt instead, way more seeders
You simply right click on your player and choose open. Than find the directory named VITALITY (or something like that). Paste the exe-file over the one in the game. Now you’re set to play.
If you want to play follow these Instructions:
1.Unpack
2.Burn or mount
3.Install the game
4.Copy the crack from the ViTALiTY folder
(overwrite the exe file from the game directory with the one in the Vitality direxe file)
5.Play or die!
Where is the the ViTALiTY folder??
