Or maybe Jane Willoughby her guardian, or Richard Topham, the shady paranormal expert who lives next door, and who fortuitously inherited that estate despite other expectations. Perhaps Emily herself, she's been acting strangely lately. Of course it isn't that simple, before Emily hands them over they disappear. She wants Nancy (well Nancy's father) to take charge of the precious heirlooms. Emily's mother has recently died and she's worried about the family jewels and keeping possession of the Lilac Inn. She is visiting Emily Crandall who has a favour to ask of Nancy which will surely lead to a tangled investigation. I smiled, the narrator sets the scene aptly when he foretells that this might be the start of something big for Nancy and her sleuthing career. It's 1930 and Nancy is driving her smart blue roadster to the Lilac Inn in the small village of Titusville. It also offers the usual tutorial to set first-time sleuths on the right path, and is completely subtitled making it accessible for deaf and hard of hearing players. It follows the tried and true formula of the previous games with an easy to learn point and click interface and two levels of difficulty, Junior and Senior Detective, making it suitable for pre-teens up to adults, especially those who read the Nancy Drew stories in their youth and want to do a little reminiscing.

Inspired by the book of the same name, the first Nancy Drew novel, this game has Nancy setting out on her sleuthing career.ĭespite being the first novel, Secret of the Old Clock is #12 in the Nancy Drew adventure game series. Review by Rosemary Young (August, 2005) Believe it or not Nancy Drew turns 75 this year (although she doesn't show her age) and Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock has been released by Her Interactive to celebrate the occasion.
