Nancy Drew: Ghosts
Dogs of Moon Lake
Nancy visits a friends
cabin on serene Moon Lake in rural Pennsylvania. Mother Nature
conspires against Nancy again as a storm downs a huge tree, blocking
her car from leaving. Even worse, her friend had already fled the
cabin, due to nighttime visits from the Ghost Dogs of Moon
Lake.
Intrepid JA reviewer Ray
Ivey once again stepped forward and claimed that, ‘One
of the things I admired about Nancy’s last Her Interactive outing
(“Scarlet Hand”) was how organic the puzzles were. “Moon
Lake” continues this tradition admirably. One of the characters
Nancy interacts with is a birdwatcher, and he triggers a fairly
involved puzzle involving snapping pictures of several rare birds.
The local general store proprietor has Nancy do everything from
sort soda cans to scavenging for bait. The park ranger has dusty
old files for her to organize. In addition, there are several things
that need doing around the cabin: testing the water quality of
the well, repairing a decayed floor, etc.’
