I didn't really like the Nancy Drew books when I was young but played one of the Drew mysteries games on a reviewers recommendation, it was good but not fantastic, but the same reviewer said this was the best Drew mystery ever so I tried it! Thanks so much for the good advice, this is a great game. It takes ages to complete because there are so many things to do. You have to keep an eye on the ingame time because you have tasks to complete, as well as your detective work. There is a thermometer to keep an eye on when outside to make sure you don't freeze and lots of challenging puzzles. I liked the fact that I was really stumped a few times but had lots of data to look at and calls I could make to help me on. I had to resort to a strategy guide twice to help me, but the plot was not so abstract or far fetched (as it can be in other games) to lose the logic of what you are doing. I always thought - 'ah why didn't I think of that,' rather than 'no one would every do that!' Give it a go - if you want to try something different!

What a disturbing game! Not in a creepy or chilling way that is fun to play, but in a way that makes you question the mental health of the game designers. Please don't buy this because you think its scary or entertaining its just gross. I think the design team sat down with a pen and paper and said to each other lets just think of anything that people find stomach churning and offensive and put this in the game, rather than thinking of a story line. Hated it- loathed it, Its not entertainment!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the game, but was really disappointed when the game finished - where is the rest of it? I really don't want to keep spending out on the next parts and I don't want to wait. Really disappointing!
I don't recommend this game.

If you think match 3 games are a bit dull? Try this

I really enjoyed this and I find match 3 games a bit boring, infact I've never bought one, although I've played the hours trial . They always seem a bit samey to me, but this is very different. Its a puzzle as well as match 3. Plus it took me 14 hours to complete the whole game. Good value for money compared with HO games and other adventure games!
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyable game with no hidden object scenes,( makes a nice change,) just lots of puzzles. I loved it but want another. The end was left ready for the sequel.
After crashing your car in the middle of nowhere, you stumble upon a mysterious town with a shady background. Solve a dark mystery!

A great game. I played in the hard mode with timed HO and loved it. The HO was fun and not hard to find objects plus you have a match 3 option if you get stuck. I loved the fact that the puzzles were fairly logical and there was not too much wandering around to get the required items (as you find in some other games.)
A really great game only let down slightly by the fact that the story is a bit predictable. We've seen a lot of crashed/ broken down vehicles and creepy forgotten houses in HO games - but this its one of the best!

An enjoyable game. Good length and some different puzzles to add interest. Fantastic if you love HO games as some of the scenes were tough to crack, but I'm not a huge fan, so I started to get fed up with yet another HO scene. Overall though, the other puzzles, story and length made up for it. A disapointing ending after all the hard work puzzling; it just stops!
More of a 3 1/2 than 4 but worth the money.

A good game: I enjoyed it.
Looks good and the HO and puzzles are not too taxing but enjoyable. There is nothing highly original about this game as it is similar to the others, not a bad thing if you enjoyed the other EAP games, but I would have liked something more .
It was easy to complete without any strategy guide or walkthroughs. I enjoyed what was there but would have liked a bit more for my money.
