Reviews

“Deception Island is truly the game that Nancy Drew and mystery fans have been waiting for. The puzzles are better, the concept is better, and the historical piece of the puzzle is intriguing, as well.”
Just Adventure

“Deception Island to me has it all: a wide range of game environments, a host of credible characters, well-crafted graphics and ambiance, and a great plot that weaves the curiosities of the past with the present day mysteries into one entertaining package. Then they threw in some diverting side events just for fun. Toss it all together and you have one charming game, sure to give adventure players their money’s worth and more. So without any reservations, I highly recommend this game.”
GameBoomers

“In short, there is much to recommend Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island. Unless you’re already something of a nautical buff, you’ll learn a lot about sailing and whales. It’s a very creative game, and I can’t imagine a better title for your child to enjoy.”

About This Game

Nancy Drew®: Danger on Deception Island is a first-person perspective, point-and-click adventure game. The player is Nancy Drew and has to solve a mystery. Explore rich environments for clues, interrogate suspects, and solve puzzles and mini-games.
A much-anticipated vacation to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest abruptly runs aground when you, as Nancy Drew, discover that an unseen assailant has vandalized the whale-watching boat owned by your host, Katie Firestone. But that’s just the first in a string of nasty "accidents." Is the trouble in Snake Horse Harbor related to the orphaned orca whale roaming the nearby channel, or is there a deeper threat shrouded in the approaching fog? Plunge into danger to bring a mysterious island’s secrets to the surface! Dare to Play.
  • Kayak in coastal waters and caves.
  • Solve puzzles using Morse code and the Anagram Buster.
