«Nancy Drew and a missing crystal skull. »
Another Nancy Drew game from herintractive. In this one, Nancy and her friend Bess, go to New Orleans to have a holiday. Nancy's boyfriend Ned wants Nancy to visit a friend of his. So off Nancy goes to visit Henry Bolet Jr. Henry's uncle Bruno has recently passed away, leaving Henry in charge of his estate. There are a few interesting characters to meet here: Henry, the housekeeper Renee, Bruno's friend Dr Gilbert Buford
and a storeowner, Lamont Warrick.
The game itself is centred on Nancy finding out what happened to Bruno (Did he die of natural causes or was he murdered?), and what happened to the crystal skull - believed to protect its owner from death - that belonged to Bruno. There are lots of puzzles to solve, different places to go, and people to see. I found the game hard at times especially with the puzzles, but other times, the interaction with the characters was really interesting and fun. Playing Bess as well as Nancy was a good move, and something fun to do!
Overall, this is a really good game!

«Very creepy!»
This Nancy Drew game was very good, but very creepy. Everything was dark and the rainy atmosphere sent shivers up my spine! Every character seemed to be hiding dark secrets. The puzzles were very challenging and I loved the graveyard riddles. The graveyard is very spooky, and the house is filled with shimmering candles that make for very, very creepy atmosphere! Another super cool feature is you can switch back and forth between Nancy at the mansion and Bess in the heart of New Orleans. It was very fun sampling gumbo and sneaking into secret meetings as Bess, although I wish there were more things to do in New Orleans and more background info.
I really felt sorry for Henry, he seemed depressed and needed to get rid of his nasty girlfriend! The mansion seemed unfinished and only has a few rooms, a living room, office, the housekeeper's bedroom, a secret room, and a tiny bare bedroom(if Henry lives in that tiny cell I wouldn't blame him for being depressed!!). We can only hope that there are whole suites of rooms we aren't allowed to explore.
Even though it is a very fun and challenging game I wouldn't recommend it to younger players because of the extremely spooky atmosphere.
