nancy drew #6 down, secret of the scarlet hand.... rating this a 5/10 . mebbe 4.5/10
this is the first time ive ever played this one and points off for nancy being a fucking idiot about the entire concept of stealing artifacts from their countries of origin but like, at least the game says it . i thought this was going to be pretty generic "hi we're sorry we stole these but we're a museum and we need them" stuff but having nancy go in hard on the interrogation of the mexican cultural attache is a BAD LOOK . he's right
the museum itself is solid enough, but having a relatively big secret area only be useful towards the very very very end of the game and having to do basically the same thing you've been doing the whole time (fun facts and very easy puzzles) is less appealing . i wish the hunting down of the keys had been the main mystery here and not the fun facts, and most of the areas you "unlock" later in the game in the museum are.... basically nothing! there's one item in there and that's all you need and you never have to go back. i do like the tracking it down and the calls to find the information and everything but i dont like how much trekking back and forth u have to do on the subway. that's a damn pain
also look i like amnesia but what the hell is this amnesia plot?????? i just feel like a lawyer could get "a teen detective got my amnesiac client to admit to theft after a head injury" thrown out so bad
