i’ll make note of those.Īs for characters, it’s almost even between male and female characters, i believe.

some of these you can go back to and play just when you’re bored or frustrated with a different part of the game. like, nancy has to play a game in the game which has been rigged to release a needed token or prize if you play it right or push the secret button or whatever. (the older games used to be better at this, or perhaps i just paid better attention) there are often in-game puzzles as well. The games are also fairly educational, often forcing you to learn weird historical, cultural or scientific facts to help solve puzzles. there are no nancy drew games with elements of sexual abuse or rape, though many deal with death, which could be difficult for some players (i will note this in each review.)

Since the nancy drew target demographic starts at about 10 and they’re all rated E, none of them are too dark or adult themed. a few of the games are loosely based off of the original books, like Secret Of The Old Clock and Secret of Shadow Ranch. Most of the games’ mysteries deal with missing persons/kidnappings, murders, hauntings, stolen property and hidden treasure. you can fuck up forever and pick up right back to just before you fucked up.) the games have a build in second-chance option, though, so you don’t have to start the game all over again (and the second-chance isn’t limited. in Treasure in the Royal Tower, you can fall down an elevator shaft! or get crushed by an elevator! or freeze to death! in Secret of Shadow Ranch, if you pick fucking vegetables wrong, they KICK YOU OFF THE RANCH FOREVER. You can also die or get kicked out of the games in sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating ways. in fact, they are low on action & violence, although there are a good amount of explosions and fires that take place. they’ve shifted away from the hint-giving in the newer games entirely, but still sometimes actively help you solve cases, though research or delivering letters, getting you books etc. these phone a friends used to be more helpful in older games, offering eerily precise hints to help you solve the mystery along with entertaining and mystery-solving-provoking dialogue.

there are usually about 5 other characters and a handful (usually 3 friends plus a random expert or two that you call up for extra help) that you can call on the phone. (we do, though, know that she is 18 years old, white, 5'7", with strawberry-blonde, or “titian”, hair)Īs nancy drew you explore locations, steal collect items to put into your massive fucking inventory, talk to suspects and solve puzzles.

You can buy these games directly from Her Interactive (check their twitter, to see if any are on sale or for other promotions) and you can get them on Steam or from Big Fish for pretty cheap (sometimes like $2, no joke.) some of the even older ones that are not available as digital downloads can be bought second hand on ebay for a good price. “soren rambling about nancy drew games on twitter has finally taken its toll, and i’m actually considering trying one of these games out” you say to yourself.Īnd here i am going to help you pick the best one to start out with!! wow, it’s ur lucky day.
