Nancy Drew®: Sea of Darkness

This game reminded me i'm dumb 10/10

I am what they call a Nancy Drew fan. The last playable game from HER imo.

The last ND game with the original voice actress, Lani Minella-- what a beautiful send off! Be sure to keep the screen open on the end credits, the song is 1000% worth it.

[b]HER really peaked with the characters & dialogue in this one.[/b] [*] "Sharp things. [i]Ceremonial sharp things.[/i] Wedding spears, funeral spears, new baby celebration daggers, birthday axes, congrats bows. Nothing says [i]'I love you'[/i] like a new murder tool!" - Soren [*] "Am I a lonely little man sittin' in the pub cryin' over a tiny plate of pretty biscuits tinkin' about all the women I've ever lost and writin' it all down in some wimpy little notebook? No! Then I would be..... [i]Magnus.[/i]" - Gunnar [*] "I wanna believe the best here, but..." - Nancy // "You should stop doing that; people like me don't deserve that... [i]anyways![/i]" - Dagny [*] "Even if the treasure were real, Magnus wouldn't be able to find it. He's completely oblivious." - Elisabet [b]10/10. [spoiler]Very happy Nancy forgot about her anniversary and went to Iceland instead.[/spoiler][/b] Also, the music is phenomenal and Thomas Regin is my point and click puzzle-adventure game OST GOAT.

The voice acting and script is bad compared to the older Nancy Drew series. I just find everyone so cringe. Also none of the characters are charming enough to be even a bit likable. They all hate Nancy. She says so herself when she calls Ned in the game! Bess and George, and the Hardy Boys don't make any appearances in the game with any useful hints or polite conversation. Ned pretty much is useless, too. They removed the hint voice over scripts from Nancy's friends probably because of budgetary constraints. You feel completely alone in this game. The mini games are also dull and lazily developed. Cooking in the kitchen is literally a puzzle game now. Where are the cooking features? None of the puzzles are fun to play anymore. I had to use the walkthrough the entire time I was playing.

The puzzles are fun

THAT WAS SOOO FUN. And a wee bit startling but in a good way! My thirst to discover has been quenched. Nancy Drew always does.
