It’s time to jump into your sporty blue roadster and find out. And who is this smarmy Richard Topham, who has set up a school for the Study and Development of Paranormal Powers in the former home of a rich, recently deceased, eccentric neighbor? Did Jane steal the jewels? Did Emily, in her delicate mental state, forget to turn off the stove? Did the family financial adviser, Jim Archer, have something to do with all this? His bank isn’t doing very well in these Depression days, after all. Nancy’s curiosity will be piqued, and so will the player’s. and suspicions about a neighbor’s will are raised. and the Inn’s kitchen mysteriously blows up. She claims to hear strange things in the walls (and if you’re already thinking, “secret passages,” this is very much the game for you.) It won’t be long before the jewelry is indeed stolen. Saddled with running the Inn aided only by a ditzy guardian (her mother’s friend Jane Willoughby), Emily is jumpy and fears that someone is going to steal her mother’s jewelry. Emily, who has been recently orphaned by the death of her mother, appears to be suffering from a nervous breakdown. Taking the role of Nancy Drew, the player arrives at The Lilac Inn in the small town of Titusville at the request of an acquaintance, 17-year-old Emily Crandall. Their latest release, Secret of the Old Clock, is a special treat “For Mystery Fans 10 to Adult”: it’s set in 1930 and is based on the very first Nancy Drew book of the same title. Parents who are looking for an entertaining, non-violent PC game for their kids (or themselves) are well-advised to check out the Nancy Drew titles put out by Her Interactive.
