![]() ![]() The main lobby in particular is almost lifelike, and one of the most believable spaces in the Nancy Drew games. Wickford Castle is beautifully rendered, with paintings on the wall, gorgeous masonry work and dark crawlspaces. Navigation around the castle is not easy, as you’ll be running your mouse along the screen hoping the spyglass icon will change to an arrow in the direction you’d like to go.Ĭonsidering the game’s age, though, the graphics are amazing. ![]() Going down to the basement involved a lot of clicks to go down a spiral staircase, down a long, empty hallway, around two corners and then turning to find the ski rental office. You’ll spend a lot of time walking through hallways in the castle that have absolutely nothing to do. From a series that is now knows for great characters and actors, this was a big surprise.Įqually surprising was the setting itself. The other parts – aside from Nancy – feel like they were phoned in, making it hard to care about the characters. His French accent is so atrocious as to be funny. What’s worse, whomever they hired to voice Jacques surely hasn’t acted much. It’s hard to weave a web with a cast this small and uninteresting. Then there’s Jacques, the dreamy French ski instructor, Lisa the photojournalist and Professor Hotchkiss, an eclectic shut-in who rarely leaves her room. There’s the caretaker of the castle, Dexter, a gruff old man. The cast of characters is much smaller than most other games, and none of them are particularly likeable. Of course, intrigue ensues, and there’s something about a big diamond and Nancy gets knocked unconscious at some point…īasically, the story here is incredibly weak compared to some of the better yarns in the canon. They’re all snowed in, so Nancy might as well explore and be helpful to those around her. Woefully-unlucky Nancy is snowed in and stuck in Wickford Castle, a beautiful yet mysterious (of course) castle, complete with dead end hallways and weird guests joining her. The story of Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower is somewhat predictable. This one is full of missteps, but only because we have over ten years and 17 games as perspective. Released way back in November of 2000, it’s easy to see how developer Her Interactive learned to hone their Nancy Drew titles to both a science and art.
