This means that, at master level, your hint meter will refill slower and you will get more difficult puzzles to solve.
If you start a game, you can choose between the amateur or master setting. Luckily, you’ll get the hang of it soon enough though. This means, if you want to investigate something that is on the edge of the screen, you might get to trigger the ‘move’ arrow instead. You need to press the arrows that appear at the sides of your screen. Navigating is quite simple, but can get a bit annoying at times. Some cases will need you to have certain items, so keep your eyes peeled. This means that you will need to interact with your environment to find hidden clues or to solve certain puzzles and mysteries. Since this is the same game style and there hasn’t been a genre switch, Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness will make you point and click in several areas allowing you to advance in the game and find our missing guy Magnus. There are also some familiar sounds, like the ‘Mhmm?’ when you try to combine items or puzzles that don’t fit, or the buzzing of the phone. As you’re in a harbour town, you can hear the water splashing against the pier or the sharp wind razing across the land. Next to that, the intonation and pitch is quite right and is something that accentuates the vibe of a conversation.Īs usual, there are some sound effects as well. Nancy still has the same voice and is a real reassurance at some points. In addition, the voices are really top-notch and each character match their specific tone.
You’ll hear some Viking-like tunes but there are some silences here and there as well, giving you chills, making you a bit paranoid at times. Her Interactive did their best to choose music that accentuates the town and the feeling the area and surrounding scenery arouses. These items still look like lifelike objects, which is a big advantage for the quality of the graphics. You still collect items during your search and these are gathered in your inventory. It gives you a certain vibe like something bad will happen any minute. The environment is mostly in the same style and you will play at night only, but this isn’t a bad thing. The clothing seems really natural and the style fit each person.Īlthough the characters are superb, the surroundings feel a bit static but are more detailed than the previous games. Her Interactive did their best to give each character a distinctive look and they’ve succeeded. Next to that, there are loads of non-verbal gestures that emphasize the underlying feeling a certain sentence has. The facial expressions are clear as day and are really a pleasure to watch. The facial expressions are the biggest asset of the graphical quality. The characters in Sea of Darkness feel so real and lifelike, just like you’re watching an anime. The quality of the graphics are, again, top-notch. At any rate, be ready to face a lot of ice, cold and darkness. It would have been nice if there were a bit more characters you could communicate with. Next to Darcy, you will meet some other people as well, although there aren’t that many inhabitants residing in town. Before you know it, you’re on a plane to a town called ‘Skipbrot’ in Iceland. This old merchant ship used to carry a ton of wealth. Dagny thinks he had found the treasure that was linked to this ship, since this is the ‘Heerlijkheid’. He was the one sailing the vessel and it seems he has just vaporised. This young lady insists that you help her find her lost companion Magnus. This is where our good friend Nancy Drew joins the party, after you receive a letter from Dagny Silva. It hits the quay quite badly, splintering the wood and damaging the pier. The ship’s speed is far too high and the vessel is showing no signs of slowing down.
This might seem ok at the start, but something seems to be off. In the distance, a ship is appearing, conquering the feisty waves. You can see the harbour of a small and snowy town, while there are lots of people cheering and clapping. Water, waves and a ship, this is how the game commences. Better take out those warm coats fellow sleuths! Her Interactive presents you the 32nd mystery adventure with Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness and it will take you on a quite chilly trip. These games are packed with mind games, plot twists and some deaths here and there, if you don’t watch out (don’t worry though, you can retry). Gamers that like first-person point and click puzzle games, will definitely know the Nancy Drew franchise.
