The process of changing John Watson’s appearance is exactly the same as changing your own, so you can easily change his outfit whenever you like! You’ll be able to dress up your cute little sidekick in up to 5 different outfits.

All Customization Options

Obviously, since everyone plays as the same preexisting character (Sherlock Holmes), you can’t customize your character very much in this game. However, players are given a handful of customization options for their detectives:

  • Glasses – two options.
  • Outfit – twelve options.
  • Hat – four options.
  • Facial Hair – six options.
  • Makeup – one option.

It may not seem like much, but players are able to change 5 of their character’s features: Glasses, Outfit, Hat, Facial Hair, and Makeup (though the “makeup” is literally just bruises).

Whether there will be more customization options added to the game later is currently unknown, though the developers have made no mention of any plans to do so.
