Nancy Drew 3: Message in a Haunted Mansion (PC)

Okay this is alot better. It came out in 2000 so it's pretty cliche though. The "Manor being renovated is filled with treasure and ghosts" plot. It turns out to not be a scooby doo hoax though as the ghost was a publicity stunt to get people into the bread and breakfast, having nothing to do with the treasure

I liked this alot better. It flowed well and the inventory puzzles start showing up more. But it's still pretty old and with that it had some minor grievances; sliding block puzzles, repetitive music, triggers necessary to move the plot forward. But it wasn't as stupid as the previous game. All in all I liked it.

It's also interesting to note that since I've played some of the latest ones, I'm curious as to when the series will begin becoming modern. As of now, you still had to manually dial numbers to call your friends for hints whilst in the later versions, Nancy already has a smartphone that could call at a press of a button. The devs even went out of their way to put minigame apps in Nancy's phone. Love it!

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