Loved this Nancy Drew mystery. Fun and challenging puzzles, Nothing tedious or repetitive. Kept me on the edge wanting more.
Another super cool feature is you can switch back and forth between Nancy at the mansion and Bess in the heart of New Orleans. It was very fun sampling gumbo and sneaking into secret meetings as Bess, although I wish there were more things to do in New Orleans and more background info.I really felt sorry for Henry, he seemed depressed and needed to get rid of his nasty girlfriend. This Nancy Drew game was very good, but very creepy. Everything was dark and the rainy atmosphere sent shivers up my spine.
The mansion seemed unfinished and only has a few rooms, a living room, office, the housekeeper's bedroom, a secret room, and a tiny bare bedroom(if Henry lives in that tiny cell I wouldn't blame him for being depressed.). We can only hope that there are whole suites of rooms we aren't allowed to explore. The puzzles were very challenging and I loved the graveyard riddles. Every character seemed to be hiding dark secrets.
The graveyard is very spooky, and the house is filled with shimmering candles that make for very, very creepy atmosphere. Even though it is a very fun and challenging game I wouldn't recommend it to younger players because of the extremely spooky atmosphere.
You don't see your own bed once in the game.-SO much better music than its predecessor, Icicle Creek (IC didn't have much music at all in fact).-Your cell is back and perky. I got lazy in the middle and used a walkthrough, and gave a sigh of relief when I had something else to do. This one was kind of like. Of course, it's always scary to be running away from someone and having to get a few second chances (in Shadow Ranch, my hands were shaking.).but in the end, it's SUPER satisfying when you beat the game. Play this with the lights off, and Halloween is coming up, it's a great day to play it (I've tried it on Halloween, it was terrifyingly great).This game is another great addition to the ND series, and HerInteractive did it justice. I just prefer to keep Nancy as the main character you play, rather than add more people.-(Don't worry, no spoilers here). Nothing that gets your heart beating too fast.
This is one of those games. Old Clock, or Danger by Design in it's ending type. The final chase is mediocre, at best, and before that was a weird matching puzzle. It's set in New Orleans, in an eerie mansion and a great mystery to solve.
Take the advice in the beginning. You can call anyone, anywhere (almost).Cons-Puzzles were OK at best. Nice one, HerInteractive.Thanks for reading. Time for Nancy to get endangered and solve another mystery again.Pros-Gets spookier as it goes along-Pretty good graphics, not the best, but still pretty good (HerInteractive is great at it).-Great characters (I personally love Henry)-Keeps you at the edge of your seat-Still has your notebook-No need to worry about time or going to bed by your bedtime. There's a part in the game where you have a string of difficult puzzles. it's kind of unfitting, when the other parts of the game were pretty scary at parts.ConclusionOverall pretty good, but some things that don't satisfy me at least. The ending is kind of unsatisfying.
Then again, if you like that kind of thing, this is a good game for you.-I generally don't like those games where you switch back and forth between Nancy and some other person. I like puzzles, but honestly. Bess is alright, but. Good for a scary game if you need one, and is quite a bit different from some of the other ND games.
The newer mysteries won't work on one of my computers. I know they say it works with XP, but it really doesn't. I think those who have XP have to get an updated video card before playing this game. The older mysteries work.
I have every Nancy Drew game, because I think they are really interesting. They were beyond me. The only one I did not like was the riddles with answers on gravestones. The Legend of the Crystal Skull ended up being much better than I originally thought. It gives you a good feel for New Orleans and the tasks are actually fun. This game is great for kids and adults.
