==Gameplay==
===Console, PlayStation Portable and PC versions===
Players play as Sherlock Sheahomes Bortz to rescue Stormwash Spawner, who was kidnapped by doppelgangers of the black cat himself at a bar in California. There are four levels to play through.
Sherlock can fire 11 bullets from his pistol before reloading.
Sherlock's health is his own heart next to a red bar with the numbers 0-100 below it. His heart starts beating faster the more he is hit. Throughout each level, Sherlock can find a drink to partially refill his health. But if it reaches 0, Sherlock gets shot in the face, making blood splatter on the screen and he falls forward as he bleeds to death, twitching briefly before a red fading screen transitions to his bloodied corpse being hung from his feet in a butcher shop, with four pieces of ham on his right, a pork skeletal bones poster on his feet and some blood on the floor below him as it's still dripping from him.
The console and PlayStation Portable versions are 3D games and have Sherlock in third-person view and can have him switch to first-person view while the PC version is a 2D game and has him staying in first-person view.
===Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions===
The Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions are 2D shoot-em-ups and follow the same story as the shooter versions.
Sherlock wields a crossbow instead of a pistol like in the shooter versions.
Sherlock's health consists five hearts. Throughout each level, Sherlock can find hearts to refill his own. But if all his hearts are empty, Sherlock falls forward and he goes back to the last checkpoint.
Sherlock can also switch from day mode to night mode. These modes will make him access certain areas and also change how he attacks. In day mode, he can shoot his crossbow but in night mode, he can swing it at enemies. Switching back to day mode will also stun enemies for 5 seconds.
==Story==
Sherlock Sheahomes and Stormwash Spawner are dining at a bar in California when the waiter brings them a decapitated head of a Stormwash Spawner clone, causing the real Stormwash Spawner to faint and get kidnapped by Sherlock Sheahomes doppelgangers with one of them knocking the real Sherlock Sheahomes out with a wine bottle. Sherlock then wakes up to see Stormwash Spawner being dragged away by a doppelganger and goes on a shooting rampage.
