An ND classic for a reason

The game was pretty boring, and some of the puzzles were difficult. In addition, most of the characters were unlikable. The scenery was beautiful.

one of my least favorite games in the ND collection. such short gameplay, with the frass collecting puzzle taking up the majority of the runtime. story is pretty convoluted and abruptly ends. the hardy bros hardly make an impact in the game, but i guess it's cool to see them and get a little switch-up in the usual nancy drew formula. would only recommend for the vibes, not for a good mystery or challenging puzzles.
