Announcing: Sleuthhounds – The Yuletide Tail

December 18, 2017

[Sleuthhounds - The Yuletide Tail]

Christmas. A time of peace on earth. A time of goodwill to everyone. A time for friends and relatives to get on each others' nerves.

As consulting detectives Jane Ampson and Pureluck Homes settle down to a less than harmonious Christmas day, word comes of a case. A case from an eccentric writer living in a secluded manor.

The search is on for an item that not even the owner can remember. What secrets do these dusty halls hold? What bearing have they on the tensions between the detectives? And, most importantly, will there be figgy pudding at the end?


It’s the day we’ve all been counting sleeps to. No, not Christmas. It's the day Sleuthhounds – The Yuletide Tail computer game becomes available for puchase for Windows based PCs and tablets. Join private investigators Pureluck Homes and Jane Ampson as they unravel this Christmas conundrum.

Grab a hot chocolate, get some figgy pudding, and check out the trailer:
