[edit] Plot overview
Nancy arrives at Blackmoor Manor, a stately mansion in London, after being asked to solve a mystery. Linda, a newlywed bride has been hiding behind bed curtains and acting afraid of the outer world. It is up to Nancy Drew to figure out the puzzles scattered about.
The game starts out in the usual fashion, with a letter. After the letter, Nancy arrives at the house and is greeted by a red pair of eyes and scary noises. The door later opens and Mrs. Drake appears.

[edit] Ending
Nancy unlocks a door and sees the Meteorite. Suddenly, Jane runs forward, saying, "Whatever you just found is mine!" She takes the Meteorite, causing a trap to fall on her. You can get a confession out of her and learn that she's the culprit, but after a couple questions she won't talk anymore because she says she is running out of air. If you don't do something quick, Jane will suffocate. Nancy runs around the corner and gets the Aeolus statue to lift the trap off of Jane. Then, everything is explained in the ending letter.
