Nancy Drew: The Final Scene

Game Description

"Listen carefully: If they knock the theater down, the girl goes with it."

Nancy Drew has decided to take a much needed vacation and travels to St. Louis with her best friend, Maya. The girls are excited at the prospect of interviewing the dreamy Brady Armstrong, star of the new movie "Vanishing Destiny."

The movie is set to premiere at the old Royal Palladium Theater which is scheduled to be demolished in three days, making "Vanishing Destiny" the last film to ever be played on that historic silver screen.

Nancy heads to the concession stand while Maya starts interviewing the actor. A scream alerts Nancy that her friend is in danger, but the girl detective arrives at the scene too late. Maya is nowhere to be found, and a sinister phone call confirms that the girl is in serious danger.

The girl's fate is tied to the Royal Palladium Theater, and if the theater goes down, Maya goes with it. It's a race against the clock for Nancy Drew, and there are many people who could be involved in her friend's disappearance. Will Nancy find Maya in time to save her?

Long and Complex Plot

This game has a well crafted story with lots of depth and length, making it a worthy companion to the beloved book series. The twists and turns of the plot will stay with you long after the case is solved.

Immersive Point and Click Adventure

It's a good thing that Nancy Drew never leaves home without her trusty magnifying glass! Try your hand at exploring the world, detective style. Use the magnifying glass to search the environment for interactive objects and clues; the magnifying glass turns red when placed over an area of interest. Clicking will bring you in for a closer look.

Moving around is easy too. When the magnifying glass cursor turns into an arrow, simply click to move in that direction. Items can be gathered in the inventory for use later on in the story, so keep an eye out for anything that could come in handy later.

Two Different Difficulty Levels

This game has junior detective and senior detective modes, adding replay value and making this title suitable for multiple skill levels. In addition, there is a second chance button that comes in handy if you happen to make the wrong choice in a situation. Second chances must be used wisely, so be careful.
