Though one of the earlier games in the series, this one holds a special place in my heart. I adore the setting, the characters, and the different puzzles this game has. Great for detectives of any age. And remember: WHALES RULE!
Always been my favorite int he series. Fantastic pacing, good puzzle difficulty balance, and very gripping story-wise.
This is one of my favorite Nancy Drew games. The island setting takes me back to my childhood, growing up on an island in the Puget Sound area.
I recently began playing nancy drew games, and this is among one of my favorites. The puzzles are challenging, and there's an entire plot point that involves code solving, suspicion, and a liiiittle trial an error. All-in-all, I felt this game's story is really nicely spaced out, and the ending is one of the more satisfying ones. I couldn't help but have a book of suspects until the very end.
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?
pretty boring. didnt like the mystery or story.
great game. Glad I played it but what in the world is that symbol puzzle near the end of the game? You know, the one where you have to see the symbols on the bottled ship's sails. That puzzle is the hardest puzzle I've seen come out of a Nancy Drew game and I still have no idea how you were supposed to solve it. In the end I had to google the answer but it is frying me knowing that I can't figure it out. Spent 2 hours on that puzzle alone.
These games are so nostalgic and fun to navigate (:
Way better than Moon Lake. Way more intuitive. Although I still feel like I had to take d**** to finish the game., and somehow I went out of order and still beat the game. 8/10 Wear your helmet
A classic Nancy Drew mystery! Holds up just as good now as it did when I first played it as a preteen :)
