What players say
When it comes to Nancy Drew games, I have played them a lot of them if Not all. My adventures have led me to solve tough puzzles, interrogate suspects, and catch some devious criminals. I guess you can call me a Nancy Drew Veteran. When I finished "Ransom of the seven ships" several months ago, I was very satisfied with the mystery. All the core gameplay elements from the classic ND games that we all know and love...

A really fun adventure game with some convoluted puzzles. There are some jump scares, which was nice considering I was expecting none so I actually got creeped out. The music is great, it really fits the theme and the artwork is fantastic. I was really into the story and liked that there was a logical explanation at the end instead of "Oooo ghosts stay here forever". I highly recommend this game if you like creepy...
Worst game ever! It was very bizarre. The puzzles were challenging, including the last one. The storyline was nonsensical. The majority of the characters were unlikable. Overall, it was too gloomy and melancholy.
