The driving section REALLY is boring, and completely pointless as it is now. What's your plan for this part of the gameplay?
Your art is neat, and the choice-based investigation shows promise, but there's so little to currently see that it's hard to know what the storyline & mechanics will ultimately deliver.
The preview is really at early stage
Anyways, my suggestion is to allow player to click anywhere when mouse icon with red color appears, not just at arrow
Also when Stamford or anyone is walking, the mouse icon should disappear to tell player that clicking has no effect
Really neat artwork

Decided to make the crime victim pics in the game a little bit dirtier and bloodier - and I also changed the colours.
The NEW new office for Inspector Lestrade. I changed the background drastically to hopefully focus more on the characters, the reddish palette is there to give it a unique style.
Evolution of the game's start menu: I decided for a classic Sherlock Holmes iconography and reduced the color palette to black, grey and red :) .
The new start menu for the game :) .
I redid my language menu for the game. Are the colours readable? I toned the colours down :) .
Here's Sherlock Alice for the new start menu. I changed her hair and took the pentagrams from her skin. I'm still not sure about her having only one "complete" leg though.
I also started working on the new start menu for the game, here you can see a new Sherlock Alice pixel art drawing. Gosh, I really have to work on these colours XD !
New pixel art design for Lestrade's office at New Scotland Yard! It's not completely finished, as I'm still thinking about a proper colour palette for the whole game :) .
Next to Sherlock Holmes audiobooks, I also like to listen to other stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle during game development. Have a listen to "The Mystery of Sasassa Valley" :) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eIlokzON6A
I won’t upload the next update of my Sherlock Holmes Ghost Detective 1 demo. I’m redoing the whole pixel art for it, so I don’t see much sense in working on it with old artwork. I want to put my energy into a (hopefully) better demo.
