This interactive mystery-adventure game lets players become teenage
super-sleuth Nancy Drew as she travels to an English manor to solve a mystery rooted
in the 14th century. Nancy Drew packs her bags for Blackmoor Manor, the estate of
the Penvellyn family, to visit her neighbor's recently married daughter Linda.
Shortly after joining her new husband Hugh Penvellyn at his ancestral home, Linda
develops a strange illness. She refuses to let anyone see her. Nancy agrees to visit
in an effort to discover the truth behind Linda's mysterious malady. The Penvellyns
are an old, eclectic family with a long history of fascinating ancestors, Including
Randulf the Red, progenitor of the Penvellyn clan (14th c.); Lady Elinor, burned as
a witch (17th c.); Brigitte, astronomer (19th c.); and Alan, computer scientist (20th
c.) and Hugh's father. More recent additions include: Jane, the youngest member of
the current Penvellyn household, is a precocious 'tween girl (the youngest character
to appear in a Nancy Drew game to date). There's also the new bride, who hides behind
a bed curtain and refuses to be seen. In addition, Loulou the parrot makes an
appearance. This is the first english setting for a Nancy Drew game and has twenty
plus hours of sleuthing in expansive outdoor environments. New puzzles are based on
heraldry, astronomy, and alchemy. |
