Reading books and documents is also important for the same reason they also provide a lot of interesting information on Celtic legends and the history of the Malloy family.Įxploring the different locales and collecting inventory items are two of her fundamental tasks. Nancy will interact often with the different characters she needs to talk to them to gather clues. The latter is a lot more challenging, though the former is never easy. Let me just add that the storyline is based on Celtic folklore and is pretty enthralling.Īs in all her adventures, you can choose between 2 Modes: Junior Detective and Senior.

No, I will not reveal more, that would spoil your fun. Needless to say that Nancy starts investigating without delay. Once at the castle she is told the groom is missing. But nothing ever goes as expected with her -else there would be no mystery to unravel.Īs she approaches the castle, a ghostly figure pops up in front of her car and she ends up in a ditch. This time, our young sleuth, Nancy, flies all the way to Ireland to attend a friend's wedding. Very immersive, truly gripping, highly challenging. I think all the ghost writers who made up "Carolyn Keane" would be pleased to know their stories have become such wonderful and engrossing games. And the graphics really made me feel like I was in a haunted castle in Ireland- very nicely done! The Celtic music for this game was wonderful - I could have listened to it for days.the voice actors/accents as well. )) - and the soda machine Easter egg in Secrets Can Kill was cute - Love those little pluses. The Easter eggs were such fun to get- I was shocked when I got the first one for the dart throwing game- and then was like but what is it for? lol (I kept thinking it must be something I needed for a puzzle or something. The outtakes after the credits are cute- as if to make it seem real and not like drawn graphics. If feels like I'm really playing a mystery movie- very immersive. That's another thing I love about this game (and the others I played)- the humor, and the voice acting is top notch. ) And thank God for second (and third, and fourth - ad infinitum.) chances in these games. lol - but I did enjoy the witty ways they told us we blew it - Pun intended. (I am so thankful Bigfish has so many great sales throughout the week! Since I ended up buying 12 of these after playing the first one! lol)įor this game, the ONLY thing I wasn't fond of was the chemical puzzle at the end- (why I gave it a 4 on the fun scale)- and only because those tongs were so darn sensitive to any slight wrong move so as to explode the lab. These games are highly addictive, uniquely fun, surprising, absorbing, mysterious - and simply the best! I plan to play every one of them, in numerical order. (I think though I might take a day's break so I can actually get some work done around here- lol - but for any (former) skeptics like me.

Since then, I must have been bitten by the ND bug- because I played The Mystery of the Haunted Mansion the next day, and today I just finished Secrets Can Kill remastered- I just downloaded # 4- the one set in Japan- Shadow at the Water's Edge. This Irish one was my first game to play of this Nancy Drew series.

Patrick's day) I learned binary code, Irish traditions, Celtic festivals, more on the zodiac- etc. When I played my first ND game, (an Irish one for St.
#Nancy drew download skips game error series
I (wrongly) thought they were just for young girls/ teens- (I read the book series when I was a kid, and they were geared for adolescent girls)- I loved them - have always loved mysteries and playing detective- but thought I was too old for these games.īoy was I wrong! They are not only excellent and absorbing and fun and suspenseful for any adult- male or female - I learn new things every time! And I love that! I knew if he liked them that well, they must be great, which is what convinced me to try a few). I have heard a lot about Nancy Drew games since I joined BF - (my favorite walkthrough guy who puts his game videos on Youtube played one awhile back and was instantly hooked - buying and playing a lot more- I didn't watch those, but got notice each time he posted. I finally get what all the commotion is about.
