This game was built on a proprietary engine internally, by HeR Interactive. It is loosely inspired by themes in the book, Nancy Drew Girl Detective #10: Uncivil Acts.
Set on a private island off the coast of Georgia, Nancy is called by Savannah Woodham to solve a case on her behalf. A girl has gone missing on the night of her Bachelorette party at the old family plantation and abandoned house. Since the area is said to be haunted by the family ghost, Charlotte Thornton, Savannah was the original person hired to investigate. Nancy arrives in her place and helps to hunt for Jessalyn and find the truth behind the hauntings.
This mystery game is rich in puzzles, environments, and scary moments. It is often listed as one of the scariest games for its spooky ambiance.
