HeR Interactive’s 32nd installment to their PC/Mac Mystery Adventure games based on the classic female detective, Nancy Drew! Sea of Darkness released on May 19th, 2015. 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;
Set a Course for Danger and Discovery!
The celebrated ship “Heerlijkheid,” is usually the centerpiece of an Icelandic town’s local festival. Now that its captain has disappeared, the renovated vessel has become an eerie distraction. Did Captain Magnus sail away with a legendary treasure, or was he carried off into the night? Take the helm as detective Nancy Drew and set a course for the Sea of Darkness!

This game was built on a proprietary engine internally, by HeR Interactive. It draws inspiration from the book Nancy Drew #27: The Secret of the Wooden Lady.
Set in Iceland in the fictitious town of Skipbrot, Nancy is called in by Dagny Silva, who knew Moira Chisholm. Dagny needs someone to investigate the cause of the crashed ship – her investment – and her missing associate who captained the ship. Rumor has it that there was a treasure tied to the historic ship called the Heerlijkheid (meaning “glory” in Dutch) which has recently been restored for the annual festival of the town.
This mystery game is very puzzle-heavy, followed by a lot of character interaction. The mystery takes place in the dark. The timed of day is distinguished by low tied and high tied due to how far north Iceland is and to account for its winter.
Other features:
This game was the second Nancy Drew game featuring a soundtrack with lyrics; “The Word I Couldn’t Keep.” The first was “Credits Rap” from the original Secrets Can Kill (1998).
