''Vermillion Watch'' is a HiddenObjectGame series by Eipix Entertainment, distributed by Big Fish Games.
The games in the series are:
* ''Vermillion Watch: Moorgate Accord''
* ''Vermillion Watch: Fleshbound''
* ''Vermillion Watch: Order Zero''
* ''Vermillion Watch: In Blood''
* ''Vermillion Watch: London Howling''
The year is 1895. Decades before, the Vermillion Watch had fought to protect England. After unspecified events in 1875, the Watch and the criminal groups of London had established a truce, known as the Moorgate Accord, and the Watch went largely inactive. But now, that truce has been broken.
