I really enjoyed the story of Nancy Drew and the Haunted Carousel. The actual game did crash/freeze a couple of times, so I made sure to frequently save my progress. This is definitely a fairly short little mystery, but it was still fun!

If you've played any other Nancy Drew games, you may be surprised that this game needs little to no notetaking. An enjoyable yet short game. I'd say this Nancy Drew game is perfect for a beginner or someone looking for a more casual experience

I do enjoy this game, even if it was a short one. The plot has a great storyline, it's got a few puzzles, you can even ride the Carousel lol. It was lacking something though, can't put my finger on it.

I did not like some of the dialogue options or reactions of some of the characters, seemed a bit childish and illogical, but overall it's an interesting story and cute puzzles. Keep in mind that this game is based on books written for teenagers. It's an old game, but works fine with help from dgvoodoo.
