Nancy Drew 1: Secrets Can Kill Remastered (PC)

This is a game series I've been considering doing for a long time now. I have played a few already, but like the latest 5 ones or something. Never really looked into starting from the beginning because I might get turned off by the age (the clunky slow unskippable interface that plagues many an oldschool adventure). But being so bored of the relatively easy Fallout 4 has given me some perspective.

Technically this game came out after the 22nd in the series (since its Remastered version) so I will have yet to encounter the clunkiness here, but having played this now and knowing what's at the end, I marvel at how far this series has come. Only 3 locations and only 1 of them had a huge map, which is still small compared to the newer ones. Only 4 suspects and the killer wasn't even one of them but the guy who called you in the first place!. All in all, I would say nothing has changed and that's a good thing. Whether it is the first or the nth of the series, this adventure is still a tough cookie, and one that encourages you to write things down and look at things instead of relying on inventory puzzles. I really like how the series started and hope I can continue down the line. Needed a break from the Sherlock Holmes games anyway.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
