Pick up books and photographs, open drawers and cabinets, read letters and notes that are lying around or better yet, tucked away in some secret hiding spot. If you get stuck, you can also call Nancy's cousins, Bess and George, or her boyfriend Ned, on the phone for some hints. Other game locations include World Wide Broadcasting Studios where the soap opera is filmed and Dwayne Power's' Talent Agency. The settings are all 360-degree environments and richly detailed. The sound stage, for example, is incredibly realistic.
Clues are everywhere, so it's important to look closely and examine even the smallest things.
Players encounter some pretty challenging puzzles, depending on the level of difficulty selected. You'll come across a lot of information which needs to be pieced together. I even found pieces of a ripped up letter which, when put together like a jigsaw puzzle, revealed an important clue. The only quibble I have is that players aren't allowed upstairs in Mattie's apartment. But in order to get the younger generation's take on it, I passed the game along to my nieces, Sarah and Megan.
