I just feel like a game set in Hawaii could be so much more. But I didn’t care much for the plot: searching for a missing entomologist (or insect scientist) around a research center. Set in Hawaii, this one at least scores some points for a cool location and backdrop.

The Creature of Kapu CaveĪKA: the bug game. The puzzles are quick, the mystery is not compelling, and you end up feeling like you’ve wasted your money on something better spent elsewhere. The premise is a reality competition (a-la Survivor) gone awry. I finished this one in a single afternoon playthrough - which is not a good thing. As I’ve gotten older, it usually takes me a solid weekend to finish a game. When I was little, they might have taken me a month or two. They force me to work on puzzles, find creative solutions, and problem-solve. One of the reasons why I love Nancy Drew games so much is because they challenge me. Who cares about solving some random arson case in Salem when my rock Lani isn’t there to guide me? Leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Not to mention the company decided to replace Nancy’s iconic voice actor Lani Minella here. It lacks total heart and soul, everything about the old games that made them feel so alive. The most recent Nancy Drew game and quite arguably one of the worst. Even playing this as a kid I knew something felt off about that. *Spoiler*, but the villain is a Jamaican man in dreads who is then revealed to be…white. This game is so bad you can’t even purchase it for play anymore - it was literally discontinued in 2020 for including black face. Nancy’s friend Bess is kidnapped on their vacation in the Bahamas and you have to rescue her.by solving…an ancient island mystery? Kind of clunky, but it gets worse. In fact, let’s call it a tie between this one and Trail of the Twister. I almost debated putting this one in last place. Nancy ends up in Oklahoma on a storm chasing team to figure out who is sabotaging their equipment and why. Seriously, I had to Google the plot just to remember. Consequentially, it’s the one I remember the least about. This game is plain boring - which is probably the most cardinal sin you can commit as a mystery adventure game. So whether you want to relive the nostalgia of playing these games, are a Twitch streamer looking for fun new content to share, or just love our girl Nancy Drew, please read on. And it only makes sense that a master detective such as myself provide a definitive, mostly spoiler-free list ranking them from worst to best.

I have played and replayed every installment in the series since then, and completed every mystery (save for one pesky case! Stay tuned to read more on that later). From the moment I clicked that last puzzle piece into place and solved the mystery, I was hooked. Jump scares and ghostly visions lurked around every corner. The plot featured supernatural occurences meant to deter our savvy heroine from uncovering the mystery at hand. That game took me months if not a whole year to finish, due to the sheer terror that gripped me every time I tried to play. The game (the company’s third installment at that point) slipped you into the shoes of America’s favorite spunky teenage sleuth Nancy Drew as you set out to solve - you guessed it - a case set in a haunted mansion. Message in a Haunted Mansion: a brand new point-and-click mystery by video game company Her Interactive. No more kiddie content, this was the big leagues.
