Great Game!,
I read all of the Nancy Drew books when I was a kid, so I was intrigued when I saw that there are now computer games based on the books. Although I’m now 35, I decided to purchase a few and see how I liked them (I figured that if they were too “childish” for me, I could always give them to my niece…). However, that was not to happen, as I absolutely love playing them!
One of the best features of these games is that there’s several levels to choose from – beginner to expert – and this will allow you to decide just how hard you want the game to be. The difference between the levels is the number & type of hints you get along the way.
This particular game is one of my favorites. It was actually quite difficult, and so I found it to be a wonderful challenge. The graphics are excellent, and you really get that mysterious feeling as you traverse this old, spooky castle.
If you liked reading Nancy Drew, you’ll absolutely love playing these games! They are great for kids and adults alike. However, regardless of your age, if you haven’t played too many Nancy Drew games, I’d recommend that you go with the beginner level for this game – if not, you may get frustrated quite easily.

|Good stuff!,
Her Interactive’s series continues with this latest entry, another one taken from one of the classic books. This one is on the scary side, with mysterious noises, dark tunnels, ominous warnings, and a plethora of creepies that all strike at 3:15 a.m., for some reason.
Be forewarned, however: This game is harder than the others, with more difficult puzzles and fewer in-game hints available. (Neither of Nancy’s hint-spewing friends is available, which in some ways is a good thing — their hints were usually vague and their personalities annoying.) You may very well need a walkthrough to manage all the puzzles, especially if you don’t play a lot of these games.
Game play is smooth and intelligent, as always. Graphics are charming and clear, without being masterpieces. The writing and acting are fine, though the not-quite-convincing English voices get a little old. Interface is simple and intuitive, as with all the ND games.
Ingenious and gripping. More, more!
