Nancy Drew®: The Haunted Carousel

Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel is a mystery adventure developed and published by HeR Interactive, continuing the long-running detective series with another engaging case centered on investigation rather than action. This installment transports players to Captain's Cove Amusement Park, where an unsettling collection of incidents has frightened both employees and visitors. A valuable carousel horse has disappeared, mysterious mechanical failures continue to plague the park, and rumors surrounding a cursed attraction have begun to spread.

someone tried to kill me in a children's game. 10/10

i love this game it's one of the best game i ever played

The riddles were fun, and learning shorthand was interesting, but I really enjoyed all of the different skills you had to do as Nancy in the park.
