As you venture out into this open world, you will see that apart from the different regions of Cordona, the island has its own social class hierarchy too. But as it normally pans out in life, under all of this beauty there is a layer of flaws. This beautiful, almost paradise-like place is a melting pot of different cultures. Speaking of the island, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One takes place on the Mediterranean island of Cordona, in the late 1880’s.

You’ve always felt that something didn’t add up, and now you have received even more reasons to discover the truth as to what happened to her on that island. You are here to uncover the mystery of your mother’s death. The reason for your trip is to dig up and heal old emotional wounds.

Our game starts when you, the young Holmes, arrive on the island, Cordona together with your good friend Jon. These are the kind of questions that we asked ourselves in the studio, and are somewhat answered in our game. Now, what happened in his life that turned him into this antisocial genius? What events shaped him into the character that we now know and love. On the outside, he’s a young, confident, maybe even borderline cocky man who is still trying to figure out who he really is. In Sherlock Holmes Chapter One we tell the story of a young Sherlock Holmes before he becomes the world-famous detective.
