game is broken, even if you somehow can get the mouse to move, its still the same issue when you start the game.
Unless you're the type who enjoys torturing yourself with sadistically difficult old-school puzzle games, skip this one. If you are, you're in luck! I had a great time with this game. It's nowhere near as bad as most of the reviews suggest. It's just a relic from a time when people didn't mind beating their heads against the wall for an hour before figuring something out. Setting the game up to run properly took about five minutes thanks to instructions in the community, and you can get around the crashes between levels by saving often and skipping the cutscene on the second try. There are definitively moments where you'll have to look up an answer online, but 90% of the puzzles in this game are solvable, and 80% are even intuitive to some degree. I suppose it's an upside that this was one of the few times I didn't feel bad for looking things up after I'd put in some effort, so it didn't ruin my experience. The atmosphere also holds up, especially in the first half. The writing is delightfully nonsensical, Sherlock's dry wit is amusing, and it wasn't until the end that I started to lose my patience, partially because it felt silly to spend an hour pixel hunting for a hairpin when the house is about to come down on top of you.

It's just a pain. The controls are wooden, the graphics are from the last century, and the puzzles are often illogical and annoying instead of interesting.
Not working
Doesn't work. Mouse pointer sits and jiggles when trying to use the mouse or the touchpad. Tried it on two different PCs. Couldn't get past the main menu, so couldn't play game. Had to leave the game idling on the main menu for a while just to get enough playtime to write this review. Got it in a Humble Bundle, so likely didn't pay much. As of this writing, the game is listed in Steam as "Free to Play". Which I assume means it's available "as is" and won't get fixed.
Game doesn't run, now I'll never know the mystery of the mummy...
Игра, в которой вам потребуется чертовская сообразительность и отменная наблюдательность. Вместе с легендарным Шерлоком Холмсом и доктором Ватсоном вам нужно искать улики, изучать показания свидетелей и разгадывать очень непростые головоломки. Для работы с уликами в вашем распоряжении масса разнообразных приспособлений, начиная обычным увеличительным стеклом и заканчивая микроскопом. В Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy вас ждет незабываемое детективное расследование в компании со знаменитым сыщиком. Причем графика в игре действительно удивляет – отменно нарисованные локации, прекрасные модели персонажей и отличная анимация.
It's honestly a miracle I was able to not only get this working but somehow get through this weirdly confusing game. Yes, it is being given away for free and for that, thanks Frogwares. Now, at least, I can move on to perhaps another Sherlock Holmes game, I heard they get better.
