This game, is not in my top 10. I found it lacking unlike the other games. Wasn't a fan but still keep it in my collection.
Unique story. Classic Nancy Drew. I did not predict the correct culprit... this story might lead you astray. It was fun. 7/10 for me.
good game

Pretty sure I ran into a bug with the morse code puzzle within the lighthouse. When I added the light first without inputting the puzzles answer it locked me into a state where the machine is just permanently broken? I can't even remove the bulb to try to fix the issue. Anyway to fix this without restarting?
I agree there does appear to be some kind of danger and it is on deception island.
Not the very best in the series, but the whale exhibit games were the best part.
I always love good puzzles, and I enjoyed the trick of finding and following coordinates. I really liked Hilda's riddles! It was tough, though, finding the clams - I had no idea how to climb the rocks to get to the little sandbar. I figured dying meant stop trying, so that was frustrating. Plus, the holes didn't reset unless you went to certain locations, so I had exhausted options until I looked up the rocks and could reset the secret beach. Near the end, I didn't realize that to look at the ship in the bottle, you had to finish everything else (meaning I had to call back Casey. I kind of forgot about him since I already had figured out the wood was used for cargo, but he needed to reveal what cargo had been in the area). It was a good game, but probably not a Nancy game I'd revisit any time soon.
♥♥♥♥ this island. Jenna can go die in a fire along with her clams and salt shaker table. This is the worst video game logic I've seen in a nancy drew game yet. Enough to compel me to leave a negative review. The other games are far, far better. This one is a piping pile of ass however.
Whenever I eat clam chowder I think of this game.
Good pacing, kept me on my toes when I thought I knew what was going on. I liked that it didn't have a day/time cycle to manage. Would recommend!
