The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel was the first of two games under the banner of the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes franchise, and is set in 19th-Century Victorian London, England.

The story begins one rainy day of November 1888. A young actress has been found murdered outside a theatre, and the brutal nature of the wounds seems to point in the direction of Jack the Ripper. Scotland Yard calls Holmes to the rescue, and he will soon discover that there is more to this murder than appearances may lead one to expect. Indeed, instead of tracking a demented serial killer, he will have to untangle a complex web of crime and dissimulation, of which this murder is only one thread.

Players control Sherlock Holmes’ actions through the use of an ever-present command box in the lower part of the game screen. As the game progresses, players can travel via the map screen to as many as fifty “authentic locations”.
