There are other frightening moments in this game though, such as Ether’s random appearances, and the strange oil ceremony in the middle of the night. This was my first Nancy Drew game and I remember being so frightened by the ‘nightmare’ that I actually stopped playing the game until a few months later. I have not revealed the name of any culprits though. (For example, the loud, scary banging noises Nancy hears is due to the culprit stamping on the floor of the room above). Likewise, in applicable cases, I also mention what is the cause of the haunting. I have specifically mentioned examples of ‘scary’ moments in each of the games and when they occur. Hoping that HeR Interactive can iron out the kinks and get us a more familiar feeling game with less glitches way sooner than 4 years from now.NOTE: Minor spoilers. The plot had a strong chance to be one of my favorite, it just fell short of what I come to expect from my previous Nancy Drew Games. I really enjoyed each of the characters and the dialog (even if it wasn't synced correctly in my game and I had to keep skipping as the lips would move faster than the dialog boxes). On a better note, the character development was great. I understand asking for the old processing system may be too much, but please work out the bugs and bring back some of the sleuthing and mystery mini games we all know and love.

I would love to see another teaser of the next Nancy Drew game, as those were some of my favorite parts of playing and finishing each mystery. On top of this disappointment, I'm even more upset there was no trailer for the next game. While the game wasn't horrible, it lost all feeling of the Nancy Drew games I've come to know and love. On top of that, there are so many issues/glitches and using a Mac trackpad made this game way harder than it was supposed to be. I understand the idea and new concept of the Nancy Drew games but I can't help but be sad and miss the nostalgia of the old ones. Growing up, they were one of the things I most looked forward to and were a great chance to bond with my mom. I've played every single one of the Nancy Drew games.
