HeR Interactive’s 24th installment to their PC/Mac Mystery Adventure games based on the classic female detective, Nancy Drew! The Captive Curse released on June 28th, 2011. The PC and Mac game is available on herinteractive.com, Steam, and Amazon.com (affiliate link) as digital downloads.
To quote the game description from HeR Interactive, here’s what the mystery game is about;
Escape the Clutches of a Legendary Monster!
Nancy’s off to Germany to investigate mysterious sightings of a creature that’s been terrorizing the community of a remote Bavarian castle. Local legend tells of a creature that marauded the area centuries ago, wreaking havoc and ultimately causing the death of a young woman before disappearing without a trace. Can you, as Nancy Drew, unmask the creature before you suffer the same terrible fate?

This game was built on a proprietary engine internally, by HeR Interactive. It is loosely inspired by the location of the book Captive Witness.
Set in the Black Forest of Bavaria, Germany, Nancy is called in by Markus Boehm. He is having trouble at his tourism castle with a monster lurking around, scaring the residents and causing trouble. Nancy gets to snoop the castle and the grounds, learn about the local legend, and finds out what is really going on behind the scenes.
This mystery game has a balance of puzzles, exploring, and character conversations. While including cliches, the game includes added richness of the German culture.
Other features:
This game had a boxed version released in Canada with dual English and French text on the cover.
