Nancy Drew®: Curse of Blackmoor Manor Reviews

great puzzles, another fun game

Even though Curse of Blackmoor Manor was released many years ago, with graphics and gameplay that reflect its time, it remains one of the best games in the series. Its atmosphere, mysterious storyline, and unique puzzles make for an incredibly engaging experience. For me, this game is not just a classic—it’s a piece of my childhood. The Nancy Drew series was my first introduction to computer games, back in the days of CDs, before the internet became widespread. Every time I revisit Blackmoor Manor, I feel the same magic I did as a child, discovering this intriguing world for the first time. This installment is especially dear to me because it brings together everything I love: astronomy, alchemy, and an old manor filled with history. Exploring its dark corridors, solving ancient mysteries, and immersing myself in its eerie atmosphere is an absolute delight. Even after all these years, the game hasn’t lost its charm and remains one of the best in the genre. If you love mysteries, puzzles, and atmospheric detective stories, Curse of Blackmoor Manor is a must-play!

One more case solved. Best of the best series ever. Real good quests and puzzles. No need improvements.

Super nostalgic -- lore was fun, most of the puzzles were difficult but doable. Final "villain" a bit underwhelming.

One of the best puzzle games franchises ever made, and this one specifically is like a top 3 entry in the entire series. Yeah it's old, yeah it LOOKS like a PC game that'd be on a CD and yeah it originally was, but dude the puzzles are good the pacing is good the character moments and narrative are good and its age is charming and adds to it imo. The Nancy Drew games are some of the most peak things ever and this is the perfect one to start with, ATMOSPHERIC games too, the tunnels in 'secret of the old clock' are absolutely terrifying and these games can get scary.
