Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island
Nancy travels to San Juan’s Snake Horse Harbor where the townspeople are divided over what to do about an orphaned orca whale that has appeared in the channel. Even worse, someone has vandalized he local whale-watching boat.
Nancy will need to kayak and navigate her bicycle through treacherous terrain as she searches for clues and the observant player will take special note of the lighthouse calendar and yet another mention of Just Adventure.
Nancy Drew aficionado Ryan Casey had nothing but praise claiming that, ‘HER once again grasps the overall feature of the game with a great music score and organic puzzles. I never thought a Nancy Drew game was capable of handling so many brain teasers! In the past, some games have just been made up of many simple puzzles so that the game feels longer after you finish it. (In fact, the very first puzzle of the very first game was a slider. Yikes!) This game, however, incorporated some seemingly easy puzzles that turned out to be hard (like re-arranging books on a shelf), and some simple puzzles that were there just as an extra time-consumer (like making a sandwich). The best part, though, is the ever-friendly Second Chance button, which allows you to let yourself be killed by a falling rock or make Katie a fresh baking soda and Tabasco sandwich. This relieves the stress from the common mistakes that most players make, making the games more enjoyable.’
