March 2025

Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill is the first mystery of the HER Interactive Nancy Drew series. This particular edition is the remastered one. It's not one of my favorites, though the music is very nostalgic. The mystery is good, a little darker than the other games. A murdered high school student has left behind a series of clues that leads Nancy to his secrets... and his killer. This game is short, only a couple hours of gameplay. Most of this game is character interaction and reading billboards. There are very few puzzles. Ned gives you helpful clues if you get stuck. Overall, it's neat to see where this series started, this one feels a tad more realistic story-wise compared to the other more fantastical mysteries.

Amazing, beefy final puzzle. I just wish the 'first step' isn't locked behind dialogue progression that is quite easy to miss and cause player to go back and forth trying things out without results.

I played this game in 2002 with my 6 year old daughter. And then we played every single Nancy Drew through the last one in 2019 when she was 23 years old. Tonight the two of us continued the tradition by introducing it to my 8 year old grand daughter. It is a family legacy now.

Nov. 2024

It was alright, very easy and definitely a beginner game compared to some of the other ones I've played. Not the biggest fan but if you're looking for an introduction to the series I would for sure start with this one.

July 2024

I've known Nancy Drew games for years but haven't finished any of the ones I tried. I'm glad I decided to play Nancy Drew now, and I plan to finish the whole series. Secrets Can Kill is the first installment of the series, initially released in 1998, and this is the remaster, released in 2010. You receive a new investigation about the murder of Jake Rogers in a school. Jake was a popular student with many haters around him. Investigate the school, question the suspected students, and use your journal to follow the leads to solve this mystery. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287384812 I loved her to-do list, which kept her objectives clear and easy to follow. I found it easy to follow the story along with the journal and didn't need any hints. The hinting system is in the phone by calling your friend to give you an idea of the solution. The voiceovers are excellent; all the conversations are voiced, but you must read a couple of notes to get clues. Puzzles vary in difficulty; you can't solve some without collecting multiple hints first. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287443899 Initially, I was not too fond of the 3D navigation; it made me dizzy, but I got used to it after a while and found it easy. I only wished for a map of the areas so I wouldn't keep going back and forth; it is understandable since the game is pretty old. The soundtrack, however, is excellent; I loved it so much that it sometimes sounded intense. The graphics are dated but still easy on the eyes. Despite its age, I enjoyed every part of this game. I haven't seen the original, but this remaster is good. There is a manual save; I highly recommend saving it occasionally. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287385463 Pros: +Very good murder mystery story. +Beautiful soundtracks. +Well-done voice-over. +Dated but good graphics. +Journal and To-Do list. +Good puzzles. +Manual save. +Hinting system (Use the phone) +Steam achievements. Cons: -Lots of back and forth. -No map. I discovered the manual in Steam's additional content section after I finished the game. It would have been a great help with one of the last puzzles, and I appreciated them including it with the game. I highly recommend this game for any mystery and detective lovers.
