I just wish Nancy could call Ned (or Frank.) :(įor me, the incentive not to use the solution feature lies in getting all the trophies. She just seems to get right into it, and none of the conversations seem very natural to me. I find it kind of strange how Nancy doesn't really introduce herself to the characters, though. I'm still in the middle of the game but I am loving the challenges and puzzles! I kind of prefer the games where the mystery is clear from the start and Nancy doesn't just stumble upon it, but I am liking this so far. I hate that I'm this attracted to a cartoon. Sometimes it's good to just exhaust every conversation and task except a few to let yourself think more clearly within the game.įirst thought: Patrick is hot. It makes it so easy to just cheat and I do it ALL THE TIME when I'm stuck because I have no self control and that makes the game go by faster and more and more tasks pile up, so everything gets a little confusing. Those are the nicest things I can find to say about it.I don't know how I feel about this new feature in the games that gives the solution. One star for the appealing scenery, and one star because the game worked fine. If you’re like me and you're excited to see a new Nancy Drew game, I hate to burst your bubble… but I really wouldn’t bother with this one. Here’s hoping that this isn’t indicative of the way the franchise is heading. I was disappointed enough that I almost didn’t bother to finish and that speaks pretty poorly of a $20 game. The lack of coherent narrative made the game hard to navigate, leaving me never entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing next, and while trial and error got me through it wasn’t really worth the effort.
Also missing is the creepiness that makes some of the other games so enjoyable (line Shadow at the Water’s Edge or Thornton Hall). The thin plot elements don’t fit together to make a coherent story in fact, there is almost no mystery. Sadly, this is the worst Nancy Drew game I’ve played (and I’ve played all the ones available for Windows).
