I LOVE THIS GAME. Does it deserve 4 stars in the scheme of "video games in general"? haha no. But it is absolutely a four star Nancy Drew game and that's what matters here.
This was the first one I ever played in the series, like 11 years ago. I remember when I got the "LEAVE THE MANSION NOW" note, I got so scared that I turned the computer off. Core memory.
I almost wish it was a little longer and had a bit more depth to the characters' stories and stuff? 'cause the potential was definitely there. Not for Louis though, he's a pompous mansplainer, he can get outta here.
My biggest complaint was that it was FRICKIN hard to install. The only reason I didn't just buy it on Steam is that I own FOUR physical copies of it and I was gonna make ONE of them work, dangit. Also don't get me started on that wood tile puzzle where you have to drag the pieces back and forth until you find the EXACT place they fit into.
Anyway, once I've replayed the whole series, this will probably still be in my top 10.
