The Mystery of the Mummy Hints
Game Options
There are a couple of options that can be set from the program menu (accessible by clicking on the book in the bottom-left corner of the screen).
Subtitles: It is highly recommended to turn on subtitles ("Show Notes"). There are times when Sherlock's comments aren't easily understood and it's helpful to be able to read them as well. If the subtitles disappear before they have been read (which happens quite often), they can also be reviewed with the "Notes" option.
Letters: Select this option to view the letters and notes Sherlock has collected during gameplay. Use the left and right arrow buttons to scroll through the various documents.
Notes: Use this option to review the spoken dialogue for the current stage.
