About

A phone call from a small, out of state police force was the last thing writer Penelope Pendrick was expecting that morning. But, it wasn't long after that she was boarding a flight to the quaint old town of Carlisle, Connecticut. When debriefed, Penelope learns her job is to join the search for three missing people; an older man who owns a local bookstore, a mysterious woman who keeps to herself, and a troublemaking teenage boy – the only common link between them being that they disappeared from the same town, within the same week. The Sergeant is stumped.
Once she begins to unravel the case, Penelope realizes that there’s something deeper – stranger – going on here. Unusual ties form between four deceptive suspects, each with something to gain and each with something to lose. Motives and suspicions weave in and out as Penelope uses her wits and penchant for rule-breaking to search for answers; some of which died with an eccentric and mysterious local artist fifty years ago. As the danger escalates, a timer begins to tick down on the lives of the missing. All that Penelope knows for sure is that there’s more to the town of Carlisle than it would appear, and that one wrong move could make this first case her last.

Amazing game. Very similar vibe to the nancy drew games of old, but better! More locations and characters. Puzzles galore, easter eggs, snooping, twists and turns, perhaps a secret location... SO FUN. Looking forward to the next one!!
This mystery point and click game is a work of absolute art. It's a fascinating story that takes you all over Carlisle, CT. There is a wide variety of puzzles, some that were quite challenging and satisfying to figure out. Everything about this game was quite lovely. It has quickly become my favourite game. I HIGHLY recommend this game to everyone, especially mystery and puzzle lovers.
Out of all the games that emerged from the fall of HERInteractive, this one scratched the Nancy Drew itch the most. If you've been desperately missing those games, this one is for you!
One of my favorite Point & Click games. Nice puzzles, fun cast, enjoyable story.
I wanted to like this game, I love nancy drew and have been looking for something to scratch that itch.......this game is not it. Nancy is endearing/albeit sometimes annoying as a character, and penelope does this, but shes a little too sarcastic for me. This game is also set in 2016 which is a choice as no one seems to have a mobile phone or laptop. Why not set the game in the 90s then??!! With Nancy if we get really stuck we can call our friends, but Pen doesnt seem to have any so you are often left floundering as to what to do next as certain dialogues MUST be done in the right order. This makes the game oftentimes baffling as you find out something about a crime, go to call the dumbest cops in the world only for our character to state "don't need to call them"....but we do, AFTER we have triggered more situations, or had a nap. The ENDING....i just gave up to be honest because at this point it was a slog. Again comparing this to Nancy, once we have all the clues we go down to the "solve" route of the game., But not Penelope......here we start going down this route, then we go back to get 1 more piece of info we couldnt have gotten before, then we go further in.....then BACK OUT AGAIN for another scrap of info. IN OUT IN OUT like we are doing some kind of dance! It really stopped being enjoyable at this point. I can see a lot of care when into this game, but it really missed the mark for me. A game shouldnt feel like actual work
This game was very, very good. A challenge and a little scary at times! It reminded me a lot of the Nancy Drew games I played as a young kid. Very nostalgic and such a good time. Can't wait for the next one. I would recommend this to anyone who likes puzzle games!
awesome game!!! so much like nancy drew it really hits the spot. really appreciate this game being made and i look forward to many more in the series! 5/5 stars will continue to support and recommend
Good game. Voice acting was good. Story was interesting. Graphics were decent. The puzzles were good but sometimes knowing what to do next didn't make a ton of sense. Still I enjoyed the game and would buy more in the series.
Great game, the creator did an amazing job of bringing the point and click games of olde back to us. In a world where the new nancy drew games can be disappointing, obtuse, or unrewarding, here we are with a game that brings all of the charm from the old nancy games in an original story and challenging and interesting puzzles. Thanks for the fun!
This game was so fun! Great puzzles and easy navigation
