That was only a teaser trailer, but even if they're not in this one, they probably going to be in in the next one judging by what they said on their website.

And yet another announcement: The ESRB rating is E10+. Details below:



Nancy Drew: The Captive Curse   


Platform: Macintosh, Windows PC 


Rating: Everyone 10+ 


Content descriptors: Mild Violence 

Rating summary:
This is a 'point-and-click' adventure game in which players assume the role of Nancy Drew as she investigates strange occurrences in a German castle. Players search for clues in and around the castle, interview various suspects, and complete puzzles (e.g., matching similar pictures, playing musical notes) along the way. Some cutscenes depict instances of mild peril or violence; for example, a character punching Nancy in the face; a woman crying out as she falls into a pit; a girl being chased then pulled away by a monster.

Another tidbit of info on The Captive Curse:

Nancy's off to Germany to investigate mysterious sightings of a creature that's been terrorizing the community of a remote Bavarian castle. Local legend tells of a creature that marauded the area centuries ago, wreaking havoc and ultimately causing the death of a young woman before disappearing without a trace. Can you, as Nancy Drew, unmask the creature before you suffer the same terrible fate?

Title: Re: The Captive Curse
Post by: JoeHardyRocks on June 02, 2011, 03:42:05 PM
The same as in the store, but you have to pay a little bit for shipping. You could avoid the shipping cost if you bought the download though. :) If you preorder, you always get it like a week and a half before it comes out. ;D

Would the total be under $25? I can't do the download, as I have dial-up.  :-\

It looks like the Special Edition will be for only people in the US.  I tried to order it, but Her Interactive doesn't ship to Canadian addresses, so I have to wait for Amazon.ca to list it or till I see it in store.

I would think so.  But I was looking around the internet to see what some of the special features on the more recent ND games were, and it seems that most of them just had mini-game reissues from other ND games (such as the "Land Rush" game from Trail Of the Twister and "Memory" game from Warnings at Waverly being on Nancy's cell phone in the special editions of Shadow at the Water's Edge).

That's it? I won't bother with getting the special edition, then. Since I really hated those mini-games. ::)

For the Shadow at the Water's Edge special edition, you got more outfits for the avatars and more phone charms... also, when you pre-order you get it at least a week before the stores do.. so don't knock it 'till you try it. :)

I prefer getting an actual, physical copy of the game, just in case my computer somehow crashes, or when I upgrade to a newer computer, I can actually transfer the software without worrying whether the publisher still has it on their website availble for re-download.
