This game is very fun. There is a lot to do and it takes longer to finish then the other games. Very fun and I did not get stuck more than once or twice. I don't have any negatives about this one, it was a great time!

This game is one of the best Nancy Drew games I have played. It has mystery and thrill with beautiful graphics! The puzzles are wonderfully brain stimulating and full of fun twists and turns for the story line. Definitely check this game out!

I thought Curse of Blackmoor Manor was my favorite ND game, but of the 23 thus far I think this one takes the cake! I loved the puzzles, the plot, the characters, the mini game, the atmosphere, the JUMP SCARES! 10/10 would absolutely replay this one.

This is the first game I've played in the Nancy Drew series so far, and it really scratched an itch I didn't even realize i had. There were some puzzles that took a lot of lot of time, but it was a fun time from start to finish!
