This game was built on a proprietary engine internally, by HeR Interactive. It is loosely based on the book by the same name from the Nancy Drew Files series.
Set in Florida, Nancy visits her Aunt Eloise, who is a librarian at the local high school. Paseo Del Mar had a student murdered and the police are baffled. Since Nancy is close to the same ages as the high school students, she goes undercover to learn more from the students who knew the victim, Jake Rodgers.
