It's the first point and click adventure game of Nancy Drew's series. This game takes place in the town Paseo Del Mar and our heroine is hired by the police to investigate a strange murder of a teenager in the town's school. So, Nancy disguises herself as a pupil and starts her investigation. There are four characters (aka suspects) and four locations in this game. Dialogues are primitive. You'll need to look through all books in the library for your self-development (not for your investigation as it'll appear to you in the end of this game). There are a lot of pictures (hints) which are hanging on school walls (in the end we still don't know who hung them). The most interesting location is Boiler Room where Nancy's first investigation case did almost turn into the last one (Someone is trying to kill her).
The Graphics are very funny. If you watched or still watching some Disney's cartoons you'll understand me. Controls are easy. There are no mini games and the whole game is very short. You'll be very surprised in the end. (Not because of the storyline's turns but because of irrationality of the whole game)...
