Nancy Drew 7: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake (PC)

Straight up Scooby Doo plot. It's a shame though that you only get to encounter the dogs once. This is the first game to get rid of the annoying clock mechanic which in previous games served only to annoy you by making it so that certain NPCs were only available at certain times. Oh also I forgot to mention in my last post that ND6 would be the first ND where Nancy would hint about her succeeding adventure. Let's see, this is also the first game where Nancy gets a Smartpho---I mean PDA device. This is after 2002 so who needs a journal to keep your notes. No more going back to my hotel room to check it when I can just deduce on the go.

Minor annoyances. There was a forest with thankfully a map to follow, but it still gave me Return to Zork flashbacks. There was a cemetery but thankfully no scares. There was actually an option to enter a mausoleum and nothing came of it so, it was pretty clever a red herring I suppose. The bad guy this time was kind of obvious made only less suspicious by the fact that she would have to defy the laws of teleportation to be able to pull off half the stuff she does and that she was the nicest suspect; a common element I've been told will be very frequent. It's never the asshole giving Nancy a hard time. Except for 1 incident I recall.

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