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.

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.

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.

This is the first Nancy Drew game I have ever played, and I played it for the first time just now. So this was definitely a new experience for me. I am a big fan of point & click games (oldies as well as new ones), and also detective games, so this saga seemed to hit all the right marks. And as far as point & click games go, this one was alright. I can't say it's my favorite (or anywhere near it), but I had a good enough time with it. I can totally see its appeal, especially if you are a fan of the source material, or have played it as a child, it looks like the kind of game that sticks with you. I bought the whole lot here on steam, and I'll eventually get around to playing them all, I expect to have a nice enough time with each one (even better if I warm up to recurring characters, although I'm not sure there will be any besides the protagonist). The game is actually shorter than my playtime, but I kept going for the in-game achievements ( having to beat 20 levels of an Arkanoid game to get one was definitely too much, and there's no real benefits other than having the award at the end, so I'd advice against it XD ). Overall, nice enough, even if you are new to the saga, I can recommend
