What players say

Players consistently call this one of the hardest Nancy Drew games, with puzzles that are technical and require consulting notes. The setting is unusually small, a research lab in a snowstorm, and the science focus divides opinion, though the plot and cast are praised. Some timed puzzles frustrate, and a few players needed a walkthrough.
