Marcella Moon: Curse of the Black Cat

This is certainly the best game in the series so far! It has more gameplay and puzzles than the others. This is the first game to have voice acting, and I think it did well. The story feels a bit more personal than the others, too, since Marcella's mother and roommate are both present. If you liked the other games in the series, you'll like this one.

It was great to see more of the protagonist's life in this game - I was touched by the details added by the creator. This was a short, fun mystery game with puzzles I enjoyed. My only feedback is that I wish the plot was more clearly stated early in the game. I'm looking forward to more adventures with Marcella!

If you're a fan of the old-school Nancy Drew games, you love this game. I recommend playing all the Marcella Moon games in order.

I have played 5 Marcella Moon games and this is one of my favorites. The eerie pacific northwest setting, the fabulous voice acting, the humor. It's set in Marcella's hometown and we get to learn details about her personal life and what led her to become a sleuth. The puzzles were fun too!

This game is a definite improvement in the series, and a solid mystery to solve (although a bit hard to follow in certain spots). The game is fully voiced, a big change from the previous games where there was no voice acting, and it definitely helped with immersion, even in spots where the voice acting felt a slight bit off. It was a little jarring having the models hold still during dialogue, but I understand that animation is difficult. Some of the puzzles aren't intuitive at all, and it takes a bit to figure out what's actually needed (such as the bag lock puzzle where the instructions aren't super clear). I'm a huge fan of the Nancy Drew games so I've been following this series as it's being worked on and I really enjoy their games despite any technical difficulties I've had! I will say, though, that the music to voice balance is slightly off even when adjusted, as the music tends to play wayyyy louder than any of the other audio effects in the game. But, overall, this game is supe...
