I loved this game! Although the dress puzzle was clunky and driving around delivering telegrams caused me more frustration than I expected, the setting, music, and characters were awesome. I loved the puzzles, the dialogue, and the experience overall. I think I'll be better at mini golf after playing this! lol
Definitely one of the better games in a good series. The plot borrows elements from a couple of the earliest ND books, including the title one and The Mystery at Lilac Inn. Fun atmosphere, and most of the puzzles are solvable without a walkthrough. Light, family-friendly, and takes maybe 10-15 hours on first play, and less than half of that on replays.
I gave up with this one. The golf course game is just a pain in the neck. The shots are not accurate: with the same pattern sometimes they are too short and sometimes too long. I have tried like 30 times. Pretty demotivating that such a difficult puzzle is necessary to continue with the game. Too punishing, too frustrating, not fun. Life is too short to spend one hour trying to succeed at one single puzzle. Such wonderful stories and narrative in Nancy Drew games to be ruined by impossible puzzles.

ive always had a love for this game ever since my mom got the physical disc, i couldn't get it to work on the more newer computers. glad this is here.
i like thids
Surprisingly very well written plot and puzzles, progress very smoothly with subtle foreshadows and tension management. Puzzles are not unreasonably difficult but takes some concentration. Very classy. [spoiler] I love the radio part soo much, it's nostalgic fantasy in a shoebox [/spoiler]
Поиграть в это нормально на инглише я не смогу, а руссификаторы к таким штукам все еще не придумали из-за их древности и непопулярности, но дань уважения конкретно этой игрушке хочу оставить. Первый раз проходил ее лет 15 назад, и так и не смог получить концовку из-за бага с головоломкой в подвале) Ну, либо я правда просто не заметил, что сделал не так. В общем, спасибо за детство, братья и сестры
This is one of those ND games that feels like a fever dream. But unlike other titles, this one is actually fun. It's odd, but fun.
My review is going to be biased due to nostalgia. This game is one of the first games i EVER played as a kid. Unlike other nancy drew games you sort of know who it is by a LONGSHOT nearing the middle to end of the game. The emotional tone of everything is really good though. I loved learning about the history of the house, and finding the secret passageways was NEAT. If you love exploring I'd HEAVILY RECCOMMEND THIS. Because it rewards you a lot for searching every nook and cranny. Like any nancy drew game though there ARE some timed bits, and a somewhat annoying chase at the end so SAVE BEFOREHAND(you'll know when you get there) or just click second chance if you forgot or didnt have time. My favorite part was the fishing bit. I dont know why i love fishing games so much but its my favorite thing to do in ANY GAME EVER that includes fishing. It isnt even that good of a fishing minigame I just liked it. Driving around delivering letters was GREAT too. The childs voice on that one farm reminds me of that fake voice people put on to mock weebs a little bit LOL I know thats random but it does Nancy talking with her dad was really neat too since now we know where she gets her spunk from lol. All in all a really good and heartwarming game since the ending was amazing in that regard.
