The Beekeeper's Picnic - A Sherlockian Adventure

福华同人为主的点击小游戏。收集关键物品然后靠对话攒够“线索”合成事件推进游戏。虽然缺少游戏性但还是很可爱的一个游戏的，视觉效果和全配音和细节都充满对福华满满的爱，charming是最好的评价。

So, I don’t have much experience when it comes to point and click adventure games. I’ve played a few like a couple of the Detective Grimoire games but that’s about as far as my experience with the genre went prior to playing this. My interest in this game had more to do with its Sherlock Holmes connection as I hadn’t come across many pieces of media that focused on Holmes after his retirement so I found the concept interesting. As a result, I was more interested in the story and character beats than the gameplay, though I can’t say I had any real issues with the latter. From what I could tell, it was fairly standard for these types of games just moving around areas, talking to people and picking up the items followed by using a combination of the information and items you have to solve puzzles. Nothing terribly innovative but I found the actual puzzles fairly well put together; there was no point where I was completely stumped and none of the puzzles had completely asinine solutions like I’ve heard some other games in this genre can have. Frankly, the only gameplay issue I had was Holmes sometimes getting stuck when trying to leave an area for a bit, but this could always be solved by moving away from the exit and then trying again so it wasn’t a big deal. The story itself avoided the main trap I was worried it might fall into, that being forcing the plot to be a detective story solely because it’s a Sherlock Holmes game despite the setting and premise not really needing it to be one. Instead while the game did have some mysteries pop up for you to deal while attempting to complete your goals but they’re all relatively small meaning they don’t overshadow the main point of the game while allowing Holmes a chance to demonstrate that his deductive skills are still as sharp as when he was active. (I've also heard that you can just skip the mysteries along with most of the game something seemingly backed up by one of the achievement descriptions but due to wanting to, you know, play the game I didn’t end up doing that.) If anything the game was more focused on the characters involved all of which were charming enough with Holmes in particular being a stand-out. He wasn't overly nice and was rather odd and sarcastic but avoided coming off as a total ass unlike some adaptations of the character resulting in a lead that I enjoyed piloting through the game. I also found the games presentation praiseworthy. I found nothing to complain about whether it be to do with the games pixelated graphics, sound effects, music, voice acting or the non-pixel art that showed up at certain scenes. Everything was at least good if not excellent and it gave the game an overall pleasant feel. Something I think could bother some players though is the game’s length. It is very short listing itself as being about 3-5 hours long on the store page and, to be blunt, you could probably clear it faster than that if you ignored optional dialogue. It doesn’t seem like there’s much replay value either, as the one achievement I got for going back and doing something differently only resulted in a minor change in dialogue suggesting that the story will play out largely the same each time. That’s not really surprising given the intended length of the game but it does mean that if you’re looking for a longer game then this probably won’t do it for you and some of the more traditional Sherlock Holmes games might be a better bet. Overall though I was quite happy with and would recommend this game to anyone either looking for a different type of Holmes story or that’s just a fan of the franchise in general.

I love this game so much! I waited for a long time while it was in development and bought it as soon as it came out, it's so amazing.
