There are also various references to the Jack the Ripper game (including a couple returning minor characters). Like mentioned by a post above, in The Testament of Sherlock Holmes we get a callback to The Awakened when we find out that a certain someone is around. It seems Lupin had been following Holmes' brilliant investigations for a while before the two eventually met :) We also get to see Barnes fresh of opening his bookstore and meeting the detective for the first time

Well, in Arsène Lupin's original novels by Maurice Leblanc that name is one of the thief's aliases.

at the beginning of Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, which is released later but takes place a few years before all the above games (mostly to stay faithful to the year Jack the Ripper killed his victims), if we inspect some French champagne on the table Watson will comment that it's a gift to Holmes and there's a card with it that says 'A gift from a young admirer', signed Raoul d'Andresy. Moreover, among the pieces of furniture and memorabilia in Holmes' flat in Baker Street we can see a small sculpture of the Awakened evidently kept by Holmes as keepsake (with Watson commenting not so happily about it) another reference to the same game comes from Barnes (the bookstore owner) seemingly occupied with the same ritual from The Awakened Arsène Lupin, in order to head to our first destination (the art museum) we meet Lamb the coachman, who is recognized by Watson: he was indeed the same coachman working for Sir Bromsby in the second game, and he even slips up by calling Lady Bromsby 'mistress' before correcting to 'miss', for reasons tied to how The Case of the Silver Earring had ended. We also get a glimpse of the not yet released (at the time) next game in the series, as an article of The Strand newspaper mentions daring theft in Paris by a mysterious thief who left a calling card with 'A. It is worth noting that while this and the previous easter egg suggest that Mystery of the Mummy took place chronologically before the second and third game, the official description of the first game has it take place much later (as pointed out by Botahamec in this thread), and since the devs ended up declassifying it to non-canon we can just consider those as references not relevant to the continuity. In The Awakened, we get once more a reference about the first game, as the plaque to one of the cells at the clinic in Switzerland has Montcalf written on it (with what appears to be an old man inside the cell). At the beginning of The Case of the Silver Earring, we can see Lord Montcalf (who appeared in The Mystery of the Mummy) in a list of guests for Sir Bromsby's party and that name is crossed out because after what happens to him in the previous game he's unable to attend prestigious social gathering, so to say)

There are small references to previous games in dialogues throughout the series, plus others that serve more as easter egg and are probably not to take too seriously. I mean, apart from Testament+DevilsDaughter ofc Originally posted by Voland:does they even connected?
