My Take on the Game
This was another great game from HER interactive. I downloaded it the other day and my daughter and I were excited to try it out, as we have enjoyed the other Nancy Drew games in the past. You see for my daughter, these games bring the original Nancy Drew books that she loves to read to life, and I have to agree that the games in the past have been very well done and have held true to the mystery and intrigue of the Nancy Drew mysteries of the past. 

In getting into this game I have to say that again I was impressed with the overall game itself. Depending on the level of expertise that you feel that you have you can select the difficulty. We chose amateur and I was glad that I did, as there were parts that were challenging enough as an amateur (in my perspective). Be ready to be drawn in from the very beginning and know that as it says above, this game is a bit darker than others I have tried and thus has some more scary moments as well (but not too scary). I loved that the download also came with an e-book that helped you maneuver throughout the sections of the game, as this made our game playing that much more enjoyable as well. It is not a requirement to read, but does give you some helpful hints and tips! 

All-in-all, we are definitely not through the game as of yet, but can say that we are very impressed with the quality of graphics, and the overall story of the game, and if you are a Nancy Drew fan, you will be too!
