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 4 Nancy this time! However you do have Nancy's cool car, & 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, & Emily is left in the care of her mother's friend. You have 2 find out what's going on at the Inn, with all the weird happenings! There are some fun mini-games 2 play, & puzzles 2 work out.

I found the game 2 be very enjoyable, & visually it's beautiful. The Inn is wonderful 2 explore, as are the other parts of town! While it's a little short the game, it's very fun 2 play, & it was great 2 see Nancy in the past, where she started!

Very Short

I liked the game. I liked working 4 money but the game was really shorter than the others I have played. This one was quite easier than the others as well.

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 & the potholes in the road had their sounds captioned since they're important; I suffered several flat tires before I happened 2 turn the sound up & heard that those "spots on the screen" might have meaning.

While I readily admit 2 having had "differences" with Nancy Drew manufacturers, & have been downright furious with them at times, this isn't one of them. LOL. The game works perfectly, even with Vista, & without having 2 make the computer pretend it has XP.

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 2 do next. I guess they want you 2 try 2 talk 2 everyone & 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 4 sure.
