fun but takes a looong time to get thru all the history sections. ham radio is fun. nancy is making some wild ass decisions in this. prolly scariest end game over
Fun, but don't care that much about Mayan culture. Working at the museum is cool, but the ending feels very weird and abrupt.
Drifted way too far into the Edu part of Edutainment. Felt like a flashback to my real experience in history class, writing down a lot of information, leaving it for a few months, coming back with no context and flunking the exam.
fun archeology history stuff + i like the lack of notebook, makes finding things more rewarding tbh without any handholding. very fun
This was one of the six Nancy Drew games I owned has a kid. I remember liking it the least out of the others I had and relied a lot on guides to get me through to the end. So I was pleasantly surprised to like it so much during my current playthrough. Like, yeah a lot of the puzzles do feel like activities you’re required to do on a 5th grade field trip to your local museum but apparently that’s like peak game design to me idk. Note taking is honestly one of my favorite parts of these games and oh boy does Scarlet Hand excel in that area. I was kinda disappointed that The Final Scene resulted in only half a page of notes, but I’m happy to report that I ended Scarlet Hand with two full pages of notes. Story was enjoyable, I particularly liked the whole repatriating artifacts storyline and the amnesia side plot was…unexpected but interesting. Ending felt weird even for a Nancy Drew game tbh but overall I enjoyed this more than I expected to!
i just wanted to play it again with an idea of the layout and i liked it a little more
