<p>This fangame covers much of the same topics which DGS 1 and 2 cover, but will delve further into some topics such as grief, mental health, and physical and emotional trauma. There is also canon-typical violence.</p> <p><em>This fangame will not discuss racism in much of the way the original games do.</em> A major aspect of the original story has been changed in a way that diverges from how DGS 1 and 2 handled the topic. This is a choice made to improve the narrative's handling of the topic. The writer's personal interpretations of DGS also play varying roles and cause some canon divergences as a result.</p> <div class="start"><<button [[Continue|Intro]]>><<run Dialog.close(); >><</button>></div>

__HOW TO PLAY__ <p>Press the <span class="gold">arrow button</span> to advance the text. The button is disabled while text is being typed out. Press the <span class="gold">SHIFT button</span> to skip the typing animation. While <span class="gold">examining</span>, click on areas of the background to inspect items and points of interest.</p> __BUTTONS__ <p>At the top center, from left to right, are the <span class="gold">RESET</span>, <span class="gold">SETTINGS</span>, <span class="gold">SAVE/LOAD</span>, and <span class="gold">LOG</span> buttons. RESET will take you back to the main screen without saving. SETTINGS will open the visual setting options. SAVE/LOAD will allow you to save your game or load a saved game. LOG will display the game's text displayed so far, in each chapter.</p> <p>The <span class="gold">COURT RECORD</span> button in the top right displays items in your inventory.</p> __SETTINGS__ <p>You can adjust the typing speed of the game text, or turn off the typing animation. <i>It is highly suggested that you change your typing speed setting before starting your game.</i></p> __SAVING YOUR GAME__ <p>To overwrite a save slot, first delete the data in that slot then save in the newly-cleared slot. You can download/upload your saved games, and donwloading your saved game is suggested to avoid losing progress if your browser's cache/temporary files are deleted.</p> <p>The "A" slot is the autosave, and the game will try to autosave on each new line in the game and each end screen. <i>The autosave will not save your furthest progress, only your most recent progress.</i> If you close out of the game and end up at the start screen instead of where you left off, load your autosave from the start screen to avoid accidentally overwriting your autosave.</p> __FOR PLAYTESTERS__ <p>Once you reach the end of the game's script, there is no normal way to reset the game. Click 'Continue' on the chapter end screen, then refresh the web page. This will lead to the normal game interface in an error state, where you can use the reset button at the top of the game's screen.</p>

I might not have gone but for you, and so have missed the finest study I ever came across: a study in scarlet, eh? Why shouldn't we use a little art jargon. There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it. And now for lunch, and then for Norman Neruda. Her attack and her bowing are splendid. What's that little thing of Chopin's she plays so magnificently: Tra-la-la-lira-lira-lay."</p> <p>Leaning back in the cab, this amateur bloodhound carolled away like a lark while I meditated upon the many-sidedness of the human mind.</p>

<div class="center"> バスカヴィル家の猟犬<br> The Hound of the Baskervilles </div> <p>We sprang to our feet, and yet not one of us was capable of movement, paralyzed by the dreadful form which had appeared from within the fog. It was the hound in question, no doubt, an enormous beast that seemed more shadow than flesh. From its open mouth dripped and dribbled a liquid which I could not identify in the darkness, yet filled my mind with the thought of blood. Its eyes pierced the air as if made of pure light, utterly contrary to the rest of its form. Never had I seen such a beast in my life. And yet the most appalling sight of all was not the hound itself—the terror I felt multiplied manifold as I caught sight of a golden collar, laid with gemstones glittering so innocently as they adorned the hound's throat.</p> <p>This abomination was guided by a human hand.</p> /* chapter preload */ <<set $text to "Source2-1">> <<run $courtRecord.pushUnique("armband") ; $courtRecord.pushUnique("ryuuWatch")>>

I asked.</p> <P>"It means murder," said he, stooping over the dead man. "Ah, I expected it. Look here!" He pointed to what looked like a long, dark thorn stuck in the skin just above the ear.</p> <p>"It looks like a thorn," said I.</p> <p>"It is a thorn. You may pick it out.

As if that's what being a defense attorney is only about.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ I wish I could have done more, but at least Rupert will be a free man again one day. As long as he's alive, he can always petition. Lost years can't be gotten back, but dead men can't be un-hanged.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ Then there was the case with "the Crow" and the medical exchange student. Then the one with that bizarre coroner. And now, nothing. I haven't had a case recently.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ <<run $clues.pushUnique("desk")>> I was hoping to have something to work on, to distract me... I should find something to do.

/* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: true */ London is always foggy. And when it's not, it's raining.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ At least there's sunlight in the attic. Rupert hasn't had any at the gaol. The man is going to turn whiter than a nurse's uniform at this rate.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ ......  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ <<run $clues.pushUnique("window")>> If I don't have anything to do, it might be worth visiting him instead of wasting time. I'm sure he's willing to talk some more.

/* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: true */ A wood burning stove. After what Souseki-san went through, I'm glad that the attic doesn't have gas.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ London winters are colder than I expected. According to Iris, the warmest place in a house is the top floor. Something about hot air rising and cold air sinking?  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ It sure doesn't feel that way, but at least my water isn't frozen when I wake up in the morning.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ <<run $clues.pushUnique("stove")>> ...I hope Holmes and Iris aren't cold.

/* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: true */ Now that Susato isn't using the back room, Gina sleeps there sometimes.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ Holmes tried to convince her to live here permanently, but being away from the street kids makes her anxious. She's worried that something will happen to them while she's away.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ I understand what Holmes is trying to do, but it feels like he's trying a little too hard. Gina is his apprentice. If she wants to be his family, she'll open up eventually. All he needs to do is leave the door open, and she'll come inside when she wants to.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ That kind of trust takes time to build, especially for kids like her.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ ......  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ <<run $clues.pushUnique("doorway")>> I haven't seen her in a few days. I wonder how she's doing.

/* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: true */ One of the few comforts of home that I have here in London.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ This is actually Susato's set. She left it here for me, to keep me from "getting lonely", she said.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ I have to admit, being able to make green tea from time to time is nice. Iris's herbal teas are amazing, but... people tend to prefer what they grew up with.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ <<run $clues.pushUnique("tea set")>> I hope I get another package from my cousin soon. I'm starting to run low on leaves.

/* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: true */ Naruhodou fit in this, somehow. I was so nervous that someone would find him, but he promised that he wouldn't make a noise.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ Seeing him leap out of the trunk when I opened it... I don't think I'd ever seen him look so happy.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ And now...  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ *sigh* All because of that stupid steak. He didn't want to eat dinner because he felt too guilty over stealing the steak from a few days before that.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ I should have insisted that he eat. He wouldn't have gotten up in the middle of the night, he wouldn't have panicked over me passed out at the desk, he wouldn't have opened the door for Nikomina.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ He wouldn't have...  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ ......  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* log: */ <<run $clues.pushUnique("trunk")>> He was just trying to help.

He can't use Hatch's pawn shop anymore, so I guess the only safe place would be inside the house.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Are you sure?

But he said it needed to be handed to Scotland Yard immediately.  /* speaker: Iris */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ That was so weird...

The treasure in question was a collar, probably meant for a dog.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ It was heavily jeweled, likely made of high-quality leather. But it didn't make any sense to me for something even as ornate as that to be "priceless". More importantly, though, Mr. Sherlock Holmes had quite the averse reaction to it.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_neutral */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ ?  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ He clearly recognized the collar, and its worth beyond just money. He was quick to hand it over to Scotland Yard.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ A bizarre course of action for Mr. Holmes. Although I do admit that my knowledge of him comes purely from a fictionalized depiction with a certain disdain for the police.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ It's not entirely fictionalized. Other than Holmes's bizarre behavior, though, there's something else unexplainable. Do you remember my legal aide, Miss Susato Mikotoba?  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_handsup */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ A young woman, eager to step beyond the boundaries drawn around her, scissors in hand as she embarked on her path through a corridor tangled with the so-called strings of fate.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ ...Yes, her. My client from the case spoke to her father about it, and her father was visibly alarmed by the story.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_handsside */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ And not due to the undoubtedly harrowing experience as a defendant in the High Court?  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ No. I received Legal Aide Mikotoba's letter today, where I found out about this oddity. And when I asked Iris for her notes on the case, she told me that Holmes took them from her and hid them.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_neutral */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ A suspicious series of behaviors, including from a man who should have no connection or knowledge to this case whatsoever.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ The thing is, I don't know if it's the case that I should be paying attention to. Holmes reacted to the treasure, that dog collar. What if Legal Aide Mikotoba's father was reacting to that, as well?  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ But he is in Japan, yes? What knowledge of a lost English treasure would he have?  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ He could potentially have knowledge of lost English treasures if they were lost between ten and sixteen years ago. He was in London as an exchange student then.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ But even that makes no sense. He was a medical student. Why a dog collar would trouble him, I can't imagine. Holmes could have any number of possible scenarios to know this treasure, being a consulting detective.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_glare */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ My friend, you are overthinking this situation.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ !  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_neutral */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ You have before you two leads. They simply both happen to involve the same item.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ The reason for Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Miss Susato's father expressing apprehension for this dog collar may or may not be the same. They may not even be related at all.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Miss Susato's father may not even be expressing apprehension for this dog collar. That is only a theory, correct?  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Right.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_handfront */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ You have one certain truth, and another uncertain possibility. You will likely reach another certain truth by following the one you already hold.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Allow it to lead you! The uncertain possibility is a cane, the certain truth a path. A cane will assist you, but it is no wayfinder.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ ...I see. Thank you, Mr. Chrogray.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_bow */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ You are very welcome, Mr. Asougi.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_neutral */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Now, regarding Mr. Sherlock Holmes and the odd reaction to the collar... There is a possible reason.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ What?  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ During my dealings with Cosney Megundal, I overheard a brief mention of a priceless dog collar. Cut from the finest leather, inlaid with gemstones in gold settings.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ !  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_handsup */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ It was priceless not just for the quality of the material, but for the importance placed upon it by the British government.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ This treasure was akin to a government secret. It was a treasure because it could never see the light of day, and the British government would do anything to secure it.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Most critically, this treasure was <i>lost</i>. Whoever first laid hands on it would become the most powerful person in Britain, bringing even the government to its feet in desperate begging for the treasure's return.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_sad */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ However, I had no desire to search for such a treasure for money. I disregarded the topic, unfortunately for us now.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_neutral */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ I see.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Thank you, Mr. Chrogray. I don't know what all of this means, but at least I can work using more certain theories.  /* speaker: Chrogray */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_bow */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ This is simply part of my payment for your legal counsel, Mr. Asougi.  /* speaker: Asougi */ /* spriteL: */ /* spriteR: */ /* spriteC: Chrogray_neutral */ /* bg: */ /* log: */ Speaking of legal counsel, I hope you're working on your appeal.
