Nancy Drew®: Secrets Can Kill REMASTERED

What a strange game to come back to after 17 years. The remaster helps the whole story to feel like it was leading somewhere rather than the slightly unfulfilling ending of the original version. Despite the fact that the characters have gone from two dimensions to three, the original characters still all feel very one-dimensional. However, the addition of the new character gave the story a little more depth and made the remake come together. To be fair, it's a remake of the first in the series, the one that started it all, so I have to give it some credit, even if it doesn't have the same punch as the later games. It is an homage to the series anyway, so it's not really even about the gameplay anyway. 5/10.

I finally beat a Nancy Drew game without looking up any of the puzzles online. 10/10 felt amazing to be able to achieve.
Worth the play and worth the memories!

Considering this is the oldest Nancy Drew game, it's surprising to say that it's actually still one of the best, even 34 games later. Great puzzles, characters, and mystery.
One tip though: make sure that you click on the 'Judo Poster' near the gym at some point. This triggers dialogue with one character. Without it, you'll get stuck.

Most of the game is you walking around and solving little coded notes with barely ever speaking to anyone... and while that was fun in its own way, it was also one of the games biggest flaws in my opinion. It meant that there was no real story line or arc to the story as you progressed. It felt like the entire story was stuck stagnant in one or two hours of a day and you were just sitting at your computer figuring out coded notes all at once with no shifting goals or feeling of progression.

Never played the old Nancy Drews before, man, this is rough. Dont get me wrong it's still fun to play and captures the ND-Spirit, but you can tell this one was their first attempt. The later ones are so much better. It's close to a "neutral" for me. Wouldnt play it again.

I felt this one lacked a lot of variety in the puzzles. the majority were word based secret notes. They were ok, but frustrating to realise the way you took your note meant the puzzle couldn't be solved without going back to it. i had to use a walk through a lot for this one as a result. It was alright, but not the best nacy game of the older collection.
also that kitchen is going to kill someone.
