Description

Detective story star Nancy Drew's first adventure game is set in the region of her Aunt Eloise's castle in Florida. Nancy stumbles upon a murder mystery and feels determined to solve it.

The game is a first-person point & click adventure using mouse control. Many objects can be zoomed in on to examine clues. Over 75 cryptic puzzles must be solved before the killer can be unmasked. A junior mode featuring less of the difficult puzzles is provided.
