HeR Interactive’s 20th installment to their PC/Mac Mystery Adventure games based on the classic female detective, Nancy Drew! Ransom of the Seven Ships released in July 2009. The PC game is currently unavailable, but information can be found on herinteractive.com. A free demo is still available on Steam.
To quote the game description from HeR Interactive, here’s what the mystery game is about;
Dive into Danger to Rescue Bess from Kidnappers!
Your friend Bess Marvin is kidnapped and the only chance you have to save her is by solving a 300-year-old Bahamian mystery! Dangerous waters keep treasure hunters from exploring the reefs around Dread Isle, but this remote island might hide the riches of El Toro’s lost fleet! Can you, as Nancy Drew, track down the treasure before time runs out?

This game was built on a proprietary engine internally, by HeR Interactive. It is loosely based on the book The Broken Anchor.
Set in the Bahamas, Nancy, Bess and George are invited to spend a free vacation at the Dread Isle Ecotourism resort. When Nancy arrives later than her friends, she learns that Bess has been kidnapped and there is no one on the island besides them.
This mystery game is very puzzle heavy. The game takes place entirely in one day.
Other features:
This game was the very first in the HeR Interactive series to show Bess and George visually.
