If you walk into the fire, like I did (many, many times) you are presented with a “you have failed” screen. These aren’t jump scares or monsters, only settings-but hands reaching out of a ribcage-shaped door in Tartarus isn’t exactly toddler fare. First of all, the game is rated E10+, and there are a few scary aspects of the game that might not be appropriate for very young kids. My guess is that this depends very much on the kid in question. It also made sense thematically, since Nancy is working at a museum in Greece.

I even learned a little about art forgery! Although it’s a little dense at times, and kids will definitely see through it, linking the educational aspects of the game with the gameplay opened a door to a world of learning that would normally be inaccessible and boring to a lot of young learners. Knowing what animals were associated with the different gods and goddesses will help you match up figurines in a music box. There’s one point when you have to learn a few Greek letters in order to solve a code. Some of the puzzles Nancy has to solve involve things like putting together a Greek temple and choosing the right classical architectural elements to decorate it with. I’m a bit of a mythology buff, but I still found that I learned something new. One thing I did enjoy about the game was its focus on Greek myth and art. The one time I got caught at it and was called out, I felt genuinely bad-but Nancy did not.

NANCY DREW LABYRINTH OF LIES WALKTHROUGH GEMSTONES PASSWORD

Cracking someone’s tablet password or pulling the lining out of someone’s bag really isn’t okay, even if it’s in the name of solving a mystery. In the game, it felt more like she was just being obnoxious and invasive, and worse, since the player is Nancy, it felt like I was being obnoxious and invasive. As the audience we can read about her doing something we know she probably shouldn’t, and recognize that this is a character with flaws. But somehow in the books it makes sense-her curiosity can’t be contained. I know, I know, that’s what Nancy Drew does. Which brings me to my next complaint, which was Nancy’s snooping. She’s a tiny bit creepy, no? Wait till she talks. When playing master sleuth, no hints are available, and the puzzles are even harder. (And boy, did I waste a lot of time.) There are difficulty settings (amateur and master) and I was playing on amateur, to give you a sense of the difficulty level.

I wasn’t confident enough to ever know that I was doing the right thing, and the idea that I could be wasting time trying to solve something that I didn’t have the key to yet was infuriating. That’s where Nancy Drew fell apart for me most of the game involves running around trying to figure out the solution to the solution. Put me in front of a puzzle where half the problem is figuring out what to do with it? I’ll last…maybe 10 minutes. Put me in front of a puzzle where I know all the rules, and I’ll tinker with it for hours. Most of the time it came down to my lack of patience-I tend to get burnt out on puzzles pretty quickly, especially when I’m not sure what the next step is. Some of the puzzles took me far longer to solve than I would’ve liked, and I often had to reach for hints. Meanwhile, you must solve a lot of complicated puzzles and uncover keys, notes, invoices, secret doors, and trinkets.įirst of all, this game is hard. Or maybe I’m just not built for sleuthing. It becomes clear as you speak to the characters (actors in a play and a museum curator) that there’s something sinister going on.
