    I was very excited for this game to come out. I played it as junior detective with ease (more ease than usual). I was skeptical of the new navigation at first but by the end of the game I was comfortable with the new format. Like other reviewers say, the graphics aren’t great - but this platform and style of game play was a huge feat. The way I look at it - the story line was good, II was very excited for this game to come out. I played it as junior detective with ease (more ease than usual).

Like other reviewers say, the graphics aren’t great - but this platform and style of game play was a huge feat. The way I look at it - the story line was good, I enjoyed the case and characters, but it was lacking in some of the graphics and there were a few dialogue glitches. HOWEVER, it is a better (albeit different) style of game play and it can only improve from here. I really hope HerInteractive continues and does better next game! I was VERY disappointed not to have a preview of what the next game will be... but hopefully it’s coming BEFORE 2025... lol... seriously though please! But yea, I recommend the game for ND fans. If you haven’t played the other games or didn’t like them, you won’t like this.… Expand

    Midnight in Salem feels slightly rushed, and for a five year wait it really shouldn't have been, but it is still very enjoyable for both new and old players of the series.

    Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem trades in brainteasing puzzles for a greater focus on an interesting story and a large cast of characters, but is hampered by rough edges that even four years of development couldn’t smooth.

    Nancy Drew games are often considered as “girls’ games” but I think that conception is ancient and belongs to the past. Anyone who likes a good, relaxed crime story without excess violence is allowed to enjoy Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem.
