Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice
© 2008 Her Interactive, Inc.
In this latest installment in the Nancy Drew series for the PC, you once again play as Nancy as you travel to Venice in a search for clues needed to solve a mystery. There has been a series of thefts by a masked bandit, and you must go undercover to gather clues, search for the crime ring's mastermind, and solve the mystery before the thieves realize there is a spy among them. While investigating, you will immerse yourself in Italian culture by learning Italian, riding gondolas, and eating gelato. You will also earn money by selling flowers and finding coins to buy costumes for Nancy. You can choose from two difficulty levels, Jr. or Sr. Detective, depending on your skill level, and you can also take risks without starting over as the game will automatically return you to the point before the mistake.
