Now, those existing details are enough to make the rooms interesting, but it is still hard not to feel like every room is blending together at times.Īdditionally, Deadly Device clearly and cleverly makes an effort to make the lab feel larger than it is through the elevator and the day/night cycle. The best locales are the offices, with each one providing a variety of insights into their respective owners, but outside of details pertaining to characterisation, they don't have much. Everything sort of has that workplace aesthetic, with desks and half-completed projects strewn about. However, there's not much of a sense of exploration and the various areas aren't incredibly distinct. There's not much of a cost to entering or exiting most places here. A small locale makes going between different areas fairly easy, which allows players to feel like they can investigate at their own pace. On the one hand, I do appreciate the compactness. Each space looks nice, with plenty of detail, but it's not the most visually interesting locale seen yet. Until she gains access to the lab itself, she is limited to the lounge area, the central hall, and each of the employees' respective offices, including the victim's old office. Compared to most other Nancy Drew games, the lab is a relatively small and compact space, particularly at the beginning of Nancy's investigation. The game sees Nancy investigating Niko Jovic's lab after the esteemed scientist and electrical engineer is found dead after an incident with a faulty Tesla coil. In Deadly Device, each of these aspects are solid, for the most part.

These mysteries can include disappearances, ghost sightings, theft, and - in her most shocking cases - murder, as seen in the 27th title in the series ( Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device), which was released on the 23rd of October 2012. Adapted from the book franchise of the same name written by Carolyn Keene (a pseudonym shared by many Nancy Drew authors, starting with Mildred Writ Benson), the game series features the titular detective solving a variety of mysteries.
