(In fact, this makes it both less and more chilling – it doesn’t jump out as much in my mind, but the fact that it was so rare does enshroud it in an extra level of mystique.) I couldn’t find it on YouTube walkthroughs, either, so I’ll have to explain it from faded memory. This was largely because I haven’t played Message in a Haunted Mansion in a very long time, and, in all the times I did play it, I didn’t often witness this event. It was simply because I couldn’t decide between this moment and my number 10 choice.
Why did I make this list my top 11? No, not so I could shoehorn in a Nostalgia Critic reference. So, without further ado, let’s honor those spooky happenings which made us unable to play without the lights on, volume down, and our eyes half-closed – the top 11 scariest Nancy Drew game moments!ġ1 - Candles flicker on and off, accompanied by whispering – Message in a Haunted Mansion (Which is probably a good thing, since I have a feeling that Ghost of Thornton Hall will give everything on this list a run for its money.) Also, I’ve only played up to Alibi in Ashes, meaning that no moments from Tomb of the Lost Queen onwards will appear.
This list will recount the moments that scared me the most – keep in mind that all these entries are based on personal choice, and not meant to define the series’ generally most frightening moments for all players. But no – we intrepid (or not-so-intrepid) gamers had to face ghosts, witches, banshees, monsters, werewolves, phantom hounds and horses, and, perhaps most chillingly of all, psychopaths who’d gleefully kill an eighteen-year-old for cash. The slogan of HER Interactive, the company which makes the Nancy Drew games, is “for girls who aren’t afraid of a mouse.” Which would be fine, if the foes Nancy faced throughout the games were rodents. Therefore, if you don’t want to know what happens in those games, don’t read on! (Yeah, I know it’s pretty late for a Halloween special, but my internet wasn’t working for a lot of the month of October.) As a warning, this list WILL include SPOILERS for Message in a Haunted Mansion, Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Curse of Blackmoor Manor, and Shadow at the Water’s Edge. This year, I’m doing something a little different – the top 11 scariest Nancy Drew game moments. Previously given to Preorder customers as a "digital special edition", these achievements come in the form of additional material like mini-games for Nancy's cellphone or outfits for her phone avatar.Last year, for my Halloween journal entry, I counted down my top 15 creepiest Nancy Drew game soundtracks. There is a bonus system that awards achievements to those who are the most thorough detectives. Icons are placed at the bottom of the screen for inventory, a journal, a cellphone which doubles as a camera, a to-do checklist and other game mechanics.
NANCY DREW SHADOW AT THE WATERS EDGE GHOST SERIES
The game plays similarly to other releases in the series with a point-and-click interface. Players will also take part in crafting (origami and calligraphy) and cooking a Japanese meal. Like in Message in a Haunted Mansion, the game includes a clock since the time of day influences when some events or conversations will occur.
Others include number puzzles, or image manipulating puzzles. Some are based on cultural pastimes like sudoku and pachinko. Some parts of the game are intended to give players a sense of foreboding and, therefore, have haunting music and darker scenes.Ĭonversations with the in-game characters trigger other events, puzzle-solving opportunities and additional character questions. Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge has a colorful 3D atmosphere and characters. When an encounter with an angry ghost startles Nancy and scares other guests away, she begins investigating a mysterious death which occurred at the inn five years ago. Nancy teaches English to young students while friends Bess and George attend a convention. DescriptionThis adventure game takes place in Kyoto, Japan, at the site of a beautiful Japanese inn, the Ryokan Hiei.
