Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock is another challenging mystery that the famous teenage detective has to solve. Nancy has been asked to visit with a girl she hardly knows, to solve a strange problem. Travelling to the town of Titusville, she finds a contested will, a suffering girl & suspicious "psychics". Can Nancy solve the mystery before time runs out?

Nancy in the 1930's? Yes Please!

The Secret of the Old Clock is based on the very first Nancy Drew book, by the same name. As a result, the game itself is set in the 1930's, so no cellphone or computer for Nancy this time! However you do have Nancy's cool car, and can drive around town in it. The game starts off with Nancy visiting her friend Emily, whose mother owned Liliac Inn. Her mother has passed away, and Emily is left in the care of her mother's friend. You have to find out what's going on at the Inn, with all the weird happenings! There are some fun mini-games to play, and puzzles to work out.

I found the game to be very enjoyable, and visually it's beautiful. The Inn is wonderful to explore, as are the other parts of town! While it's a little short the game, it's very fun to play, and it was great to see Nancy in the past, where she started!

captions

"Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock" is open captioned, and, I might add, the captions are very nicely done. Even sounds, like phones ringing or explosions, are captioned, much like we expect from TV. I just wish that the mud puddles and the potholes in the road had their sounds captioned since they're important; I suffered several flat tires before I happened to turn the sound up and heard that those "spots on the screen" might have meaning.

While I readily admit to having had "differences" with Nancy Drew manufacturers, and have been downright furious with them at times, this isn't one of them. LOL. The game works perfectly, even with Vista, and without having to make the computer pretend it has XP.

First Nancy Drew game.

Pretty good game. Would have taken a lot longer if not for the hints web site. Never did get par on the golf course.

Fun but confusing

I really enjoyed playing this game. It really does pass the time. My only problem with the game is that sometimes you don't know what to do next. I guess they want you to try to talk to everyone and look at everything but some steps I completely missed until I went over the game guide. I recommend getting the game guide or using the discussion boards at the publishers website. I'll be buying more of these for sure.

Very Short

I liked the game. I liked working for money but the game was really shorter than the others I have played. This one was quite easier than the others as well.
