Also, I’ll probably go through a few of the latest games, even if I’ve already finished them, on stream or as a let’s play on YouTube, because I’ll be honest, this series is superb and it deserves much more attention than what it gets.Īs for the Nancy Drew series itself, Sea of Darkness is the last game available, but there is a new one on the horizon, though it’s uncertain now just how far away it is. These activities often carry penalties if you skip them too often, and as focused as I am on the mystery, it gets on my nerves that these activities get in the way.īut now, what’s next? It’s not the end of the road for me with the Nancy Drew series, as there are still a couple of titles I have yet to play which stand in that sweet spot between the older mechanics and the latest entries, such as Trail of the Twister, the game I’m now on. In some of the earlier games in the Nancy Drew series, particularly when Nancy is undercover, she’ll have to do some recurring chores to keep up appearances and the games force you to do them, such as cooking for guests at the Icicle lodge or managing a store in Waverly Academy. There are other games in the series that I started playing but left abandoned, mostly because they had “undercover gimmicks” that got on my nerves. Having known such comforts, going back to older titles is unappealing to be honest. Mind you, that last thing showed up in Nancy Drew games well up to Shadow at the Water’s Edge, the one I mentioned weeks ago as a title that freaked me out for its phenomenal handling of Japanese horror, but it’s something that in the latest titles they did away with, much to my pleasure. From the inability to scroll down with the mouse wheel on the interface to the need to repeat menial actions, such as using a key on a door to open it every time, they’re too clunky.
I don’t have some of the earliest entries in the Nancy Drew series, and while I could get them, there are some control and gameplay restrictions with these titles, the first generation of HeR Interactive’s homebrew engine for Nancy Drew, that make these games unattractive to me. I won’t lie to you, I haven’t played them all. Earlier this week I reached the end of the line with the Nancy Drew adventure game series, playing and finishing Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness, the last title released in the series so far.
