What players say
This is probably my favorite Nancy Drew game. The scenery is comforting, I love the puzzles, I love cooking, and I love the culprit reveal. I know this is a hot take as most people hate Fox and Geese but DANG I love it.

Played these as a kid and it still activates my brain to navigate puzzles and use clues. There are some technical challenges with most of these games(at least those originally released 2012 and before) where certain triggers need to be done multiple times or you need to back out of an area before youre allowed to go in at the specific in game time, but I would not be supprised if this is something the game was...
I live in Canada and I will say this, yes it's cold LOL. It's a great game, you get to cook, be nosey, find a cute wolf that helps you. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how long it takes for things to trigger a event. Fox and Geese table was a little difficult at first but you get it eventually after you keep trying.
