Favorite game!

This is my all-time FAVORITE Nancy Drew game! Love the incorporation of alchemy, too! Spooky vibes, yet very informative. Loved the astrology realm, and wandering about the castle. VERY well-thought out game; highly recommend it!

curse of Blackmoor manor

great game. the atmosphere was a little spooky but to me thats not a bad thing. that one lady makes me nervous though..Ethil.. i feel bad for Linda her hiding behind a curtain makes it very depressing talking to her and sometimes your mad that nancy wont pull it off! you never get to see her! jane is just weird.. a little sad acually. the ending was surprising and good the music is great. but the best part is making these awful gross parrot foods and making lulu sick and getting sent home or keep knocking on mrs.Drakes room at night and waking her up XD

The Puzzles Take Time

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It was a little scary at times, but not too bad! I loved the conservatory. I wish that I could have explored the kitchen. The puzzles take patience. One took me two days to understand, but it paid off. With some I ended up looking online for the answers, but I could have done them with more time and patience. The culprit was not who I thought it would be. I enjoyed playing the games with Jane!

All Time Favorite

This is one of the first games I played at about age 7, some ten years ago. I still get nightmares about it, really. I played with my mom as a child and I remember this one being particularly difficult so it definitely isn't a beginners game. It's a classic and my all time favorite of the oldies and I would LOVE to see a remastered version.

I love this game!

The creepy atmosphere, the bizarre plot, and the overall feel of this game are what makes me love ND. The setting is mysterious and beautiful. I still remember the song about Bridget... Fun and interactive. I love this game!

One of the best

This is one of my favorites. It's one of the old ones, but the setting is so beautiful, the plot great and the characters are quite funny. The ending was a little to far-fetched in my opinion (the end puzzle, that is), and playing the games with Jane over and over again is sometimes annoying. But overall, super game!

 by Hannah
Amazing!

This is one of my favorite games. The environment is great, the puzzles are great, and the characters are great. I love how every puzzle has a purpose, and that purpose is to solve the ending puzzle, and it just all ties in very nicely. Is it just me or is the moving rooms puzzle so much fun? And beware of Ethel, you'll understand why I said that when you get to the part.

Pretty good

I liked this game. It was a little confusing when it came to the passages under/around the manor, and I'm still not sure what those little 'ghosts' were supposed to be, but the setting was really cool, especially Nancy's room! I loved learning about astronomy/astrology and alchemy, which made the puzzles really interesting. Worth playing.
