A cosy point and click adventure starring a retired Sherlock Holmes

The Beekeeper’s Picnic

It is the 1920s, and in a sleepy Sussex village , an elderly beekeeper (who is definitely not the world’s greatest detective… any more) is trying to arrange a pleasant clifftop picnic for his lifelong companion Dr Watson. The only problem is that a series of pesky mysteries keep getting in the way!

A retro-inspired cosy point and click adventure game lovingly inspired by the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

“Completely and utterly gorgeous, uplifting, and entertaining.” Kotaku

“A sincere and endearing sequence of capers featuring two well-known and loved characters” Indie Hive
