HeR Interactive’s 27th installment to their PC/Mac Mystery Adventure games based on the classic female detective, Nancy Drew! The Deadly Device released on October 23rd, 2012. The PC and Mac game is available on herinteractive.com, Amazon.com (affiliate link), and Steam as digital downloads.
To quote the game description from HeR Interactive, here’s what the mystery game is about;
Discover true facts about Nikola Tesla, an eccentric physicist and inventor.
Danger and Suspicion in a High-Tech Lab! Fear lingers in a remote laboratory after a physicist’s suspicious demise. A police investigation resulted in nothing except a case as cold as the secretive personalities and steel walls that enshroud a top-secret Tesla-inspired facility. That’s why the lab owner asked you, as detective Nancy Drew, to expose the terrifying truth about The Deadly Device!

This game was built on a proprietary engine internally, by HeR Interactive. It is loosely inspired by the books Nancy Drew #165: The Crime Lab Case and Nancy Drew On Campus #22: In and Out of Love.
Set in the Colorado mountains at a high-tech lab, Nancy is called in by Victor Losset who received a recommendation from Deirdre Shannon. A death has occurred and police haven’t found the true cause. Murder is suspected since Niko Jovic knew the dangers of the Tesla coil that he was working on, but was electrocuted to death by it.
This mystery game is very puzzle-heavy, followed by a lot of day/night switching. It takes place in the winter but is set entirely indoors. The player can change the time by setting the alarm clock to day or night in order to investigate and talk to various characters.
Other features:
This game focuses on science and features history on the currant wars and Nikola Tesla.
