Alright. I will say, as someone who played these games with my mom through my childhood, this review IS going to be biased. This was one of the more stressful games considering it gives you a 3 day time limit(and a 3 MINUTE timer at the end to get help). However, besides the 3 minute timer and some timed encounters here and there I don't think its actually timed, and just makes you THINK you are so it puts pressure on you and makes the victories/failures when you hit the time limit more emotional, and boy, it works. I was second guessing myself on who the actual suspect was throughout the entire game until the end, and some items you couldn't click on or risk getting a bad ending early, which I didn't enjoy, since previous nancy drew games encouraged you to snoop and click on anything and EVERYTHING, so suddenly switching it around was pretty stressful and made me concerned on what to actually snoop through, which I suppose is like real life reprimands in a way for going throug...

Not the worst but not the best. Do note it's one of the shorter games, the only reason why you would take longer is because of getting stuck with one of the two obtuse puzzles. One puzzle, after looking up what to do still had me confused on how was I supposed to get that. The story and characters were actually great with this one, especially with how they flesh out everyone's motives. I would only recommend this if you are trying to play all Nancy Drew games but if you're looking for a really good one to play maybe skip this one.
