Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill
While in Florida visiting her Aunt Eloise – the local high school librarian – Nancy is called upon by the local high school principal to investigate a murder that has been committed at the local high. Posing as a transfer student, Nancy is free to explore both the school and town while keeping her true identity secret.
A murder? Pretty heavy stuff for the first game, especially one designed to attract a young, female fanbase. But it worked.
Our JA reviewer Audrey Wells (who was only a teenager herself at the time) stated that Secrets Can Kill ‘is clearly not a painful Barbie dress-up or makeup game, but a pure adventure mystery intended to make young players use their wits and draw conclusions about the mystery that Nancy Drew has set out to get to the bottom of. Of course, you need not be a young girl to play this game–I would encourage young boys and adults of both genders to try it out as well.’
