This isn’t the first time Nancy’s had to investigate a mysterious old house (she did in Nancy Drew: Curse of the Blackmoor Manor as well), but this time the focus is on exploring not only the house, but the surrounding grounds with its lush gardens, imposing archways, and numerous family mausoleums.Īs in past games, Nancy can use her cell phone to call a list of trusted friends and associates to ask for help and get hints about what to do next. When the cursor moves over an item of interest it outlines in red and can be clicked on – this could be an item to add to the inventory (to be used later), an important note or book to read for clues, a puzzle to solve (such as tile puzzles, decipherable locks or object-oriented challenges), or a character to chat with. Legend of the Crystal Skull is a point-and-click adventure, meaning players use the mouse to move around Bruno’s estate and look at or pick up objects of interest. Nancy decides to stay and investigate the old house, the people connected to it, and the cloudy circumstances of Bruno’s death in the hopes of finding out the identity of the strange skull-wearing apparition. However, when Nancy arrives at Bruno’s mansion, she encounters a strange figure in a skull mask who throws a smoke bomb at her and promptly disappears.

While there, Nancy checks up on friend-of-a-friend Henry, whose uncle and only living relative, reclusive bachelor Bruno Brulet, has just died.

The story begins when Nancy and her good friend Bess arrive in New Orleans for a relaxing long weekend vacation of good music, food, and sight-seeing.

Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull is the 17th title in Her Interactive’s long-running PC adventure game series starring teenage sleuth Nancy Drew – and it’s also the newest (unlike past Nancy Drew downloads, which have been versions of older games that originally came out on CD-ROM months or even years ago).
