[edit] Plot
As you, Nancy Drew are at a Wisconsin resort snowed-in. But this is not any old resort, it has a tower from where Marie Antionette used to be.You get informed that there has been vandilism at the library. And then you are on wild goose chases, mind-boggling puzzles, and much more.
[edit] Cast and Characters
- Lani Minella as Nancy Drew, the player character and detective of the series responsible for cracking the case.
- Thomas Stewart as Dexter Egan, the orphan, but later adopted son of Ezra Wickford. He resides in Wickford Castle as the caretaker, despite the fact that he was under no circumstance to inherit the castle after being disowned.
- Keri Healey as Professor Beatrice Hotchkiss, in her own words, a "scholar of French history," though "specializing in Marie Antoinette." She spends most of her time in her room (#214) typing away for her "research." Healey's character returns in Legend of the Crystal Skull.
- Tara V. Smith as Lisa Ostrum, a photojournalist who is at the castle to write an article about old Wisconsin castles. Usually seen reading a magazine by the fire, she carries "alternate identities."
- Justin Barrett as Jacques Brunais, a famous French ski instructor. Nancy learns that he was formerly a contestant in "last year's Winter Olympics." Jacques is thought by many to be quite handsome and spends his time at Wickford Castle painting wooden boxes. He also has a fiancé named Isabelle. Bess Marvin mentions in a telephone call that his French accent "should be illegal."
Scott Carty plays Ned Nickerson, Nancy's boyfriend, Claire Gallagher plays Bess Marvin and Maureen Nelson plays George Fayne, two of Nancy's most trusted friends that help her with the case via telephone, or, as George puts it, the "detective support hotline" (in The Final Scene).
[edit] Accidents
Some incidents you need to might need to use a second chance:
- Staying out in the cold for too long.
- Failing to shut off the library alarm and getting caught.
- Attempting to jump to the elevator shaft ladder
- Getting crushed in the elevator shaft
- Allowing the culprit to escape.
- After you get found when you almost get frozen, and you operate the ski lift again.
[edit] Errors
- On one of Lisa's fake IDs, her birthday is Feb. 30. There is no such thing as February 30.
- Even if Jacques is not in the basement his voice will still be heard when the lights are turned off.
