* ArtisticLicenseHistory: George Hurst is an Englishman from London who served in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovat_Scouts#Formation_and_early_history Lovat Scouts]]. The problem is that, at the time, the Lovat Scouts recruited almost entirely from Scottish gamekeepers from Highland Estates, and even afterwards they were a Scottish unit and therefore primarily recruited in Scotland. As well, the game is implied to take place in 1894, six years before the unit was formed.

* ContinuitySnarl: The game is seemingly set after ''The Testament of Sherlock Holmes'', which was pretty firmly stated to have occurred in 1898. This game starts with Holmes meeting a child names Tom, with his deductions revealing that not only was Tom born in 1887 but that he was currently 8 years old at present. This would set the game in 1895 or 1896.

* MythologyGag: A clue in one case is a copy of ''The Strand Magazine'', the periodical in which the Literature/SherlockHolmes short stories first appeared; the names of Sherlock Holmes and of Arthur Conan Doyle can just be made out on the cover. (Specifically, it's the November 1903 issue, containing "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", although the dateline has been altered to 1893 to better fit the setting of the game.)

* BroadStrokes: While WordOfGod states that this is a ContinuityReboot and these versions of Holmes and Watson are not the same iterations of the characters as those seen in the seven earlier games, explaining the different actors and physical appearances of the characters, Katelyn's presence implies that the previous games, most importantly ''Testament'', are still canon. Besides the physical and slight personality differences in Holmes and Watson compared to earlier games, there's actually very little to firmly set ''The Devil's Daughter'' in a separate continuity to the original.

* ContinuityReboot: WordOfGod confirms that these versions of Holmes and Watson are ''not'' the same iterations of the characters as those seen in the seven earlier games - hence the replacement of the voice actors, despite initial indications that the cast would remain the same as it had been for ''[[VideoGame/TheTestamentOfSherlockHolmes Testament]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SherlockHolmesCrimesAndPunishments Crimes and Punishments]]''. (Though since Holmes had already had [[TheOtherDarrin three different voice actors]] in the series before the reboot and Watson even more, it's helpful that they clarified.)
** However, Katelyn is not a surprise if you played through ''[[VideoGame/TheTestamentOfSherlockHolmes Testament]]'', implying that this game still uses some of the previous ones as backstory, at least in BroadStrokes.
