Brief description of this software product:
There has been a murder at the Paseo Del Mar High School and the principal needs Nancy DrewÆs help. Step into NancyÆs shoes as she uses her investigative skills to try to solve the mystery. The game starts at Aunt EloiseÆs house, where you must search carefully through the rooms, finding and gathering items that may be useful to the case. Use the magnifying glass to examine clues, collect objects, and move through the game. Explore the town, the local diner, and the school; chat with the locals and search for more clues. Four students may be suspects in the case, but be careful to ask the right questions at the right time or they may refuse to answer. Examine everything carefully û you never know what might be a clue. If you get stuck, call on NancyÆs friends, Ned, Bess, and George, for help. Games may be saved and continued in another session; click on the Second Chance option if you make a fatal mistake during a game.
