(“Go get ’em, Scoop!” Dorky Nancy says.) As she enters, a (male) voice comes on over the PA to test it, and then Maya starts screaming. Which is important to know, since literally five seconds after we arrive, Maya is kidnapped! She has an interview scheduled with Brady Armstrong, and goes into his dressing room to meet him. We’re getting in on Maya’s press pass, so the theater is closed to everyone but us (and the people working there). You know what that means, right? SECRET TUNNELS! Secret tunnel through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Yeah! The movie’s only going to run for three days? You’d think they’d give it a week, at least.Īnyway, some people (an organization called “HAD IT”) are protesting the demolition, since the Royal Palladium has been around since Harry Houdini, who apparently performed there once. Unfortunately, said theater, the Royal Palladium, is also getting demolished in about three days.
Maya is a reporter for her college newspaper, and is on assignment to write about the new “Brady Armstrong” movie, Vanishing Destiny, which is of special interest since it’s premiering at a historic theater. She’s pretty cute, although I can’t look at her mouth or hand for too long without getting freaked out. So Nancy is hanging out with Maya Nguyen, a friend from high school who we’ve never heard of before and will never hear of again. Louis, besides the fact that the lights aren’t shining anyplace but there, so this is my chance to learn, I guess. Also, upside: instead of setting the time with the alarm clock, the game covers three days, and fades in and out to the next day after certain events, which makes it feel a lot more linear.Īnyway, Nancy Drew is in St. The graphics haven’t been hugely improved since the last game, but that’s all right. And the setting is great - I love theaters, and the theater in this game is very nicely designed, with pretty colors and tones. Like most of the earlier games, it’s pretty short - there isn’t much by the way of sidequests or extraneous puzzles, which I’m personally thankful for. But they’re amusing enough, and the plot is solid and progresses nicely. Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone else list it as a favorite, either - it’s just not really that memorable, I think primarily because the characters aren’t as interesting as in other games. It’s not my favorite, but it’s not bad, either. I’ve only played it once (twice, now, for this post), and it wasn’t one of the games I had as a kid, so it still felt pretty new to me.
I’m not actually sure what to say about this game - it’s cool, I guess.
