Gameplay

Like its predecessor Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, the majority of the game involves exploring crime scenes and examining clues. Once discovered, clues are added to a "deduction board", a gameplay mechanic which involves linking pieces of information together. It will lead to possible different deductions. Once deductions are connected together, player will have a full tree of deductions in the player's memory called mind palace. Depending on how players interpret the clues, they will have different conclusions. Therefore, the player can fail or succeed in finding the culprit.

Plot

Across five linked cases, Holmes confronts dark family secrets.

Development

On 8 May 2015, an eighth installment in the series was announced. Kerry Shale was originally expected to reprise his role as Sherlock. However, it was later confirmed by Frogwares, that the game will focus on a different incarnation of Sherlock Holmes and will feature a new actor in the role.

The Devil's Daughter will the be first game since 2007 not to be published by Focus Home Interactive; instead it will be published by Bigben Interactive. No reasons were given for the change of publisher.
