– Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
– The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (previously delisted)
– Sherlock Holmes versus Jack The Ripper (previously delisted)
– Magrunner: Dark Pulse
Frogwares also announced at the time that they were able to acquire publishing rights to Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, keeping it on sale on Steam, and bringing it to GOG.com for the first time. The studio prepared a free memorial artbook to commemorate their long history with Sherlock Holmes and for fans to enjoy while they continued working to bring their games back to storefronts. Frogwares titles on GOG.com were also put on sale [Archive] through October 11th.
