Our take on Nancy Drew®: The Phantom of Venice
Players who do not enjoy puzzle-led investigations will likely bounce off when progress depends on searching environments, questioning suspects, and completing mini-games rather than direct action. The disguise, Italian-language, and Scopa sections add further activities within the mystery structure.
