GETTING STARTED


GETTING STARTED

Hello all, this is my 3rd walkthrough, I decided to do this because frankly I have tried to get thorough walkthroughs before and find them somewhat left to be desired. So, here goes. Let me know what you think…

First of all for those of you who are Nancy Drew fans and know how it all works, I have added specific SPOILERS to separate links throughout. For example: For all of you who want to find all of the AWARDS for the end of the game you can go to this link and it will take you step by step to the awards screen.

Getting Started:
Game starts out talking to Victor Lossett, the laboratory co-owner who has hired you to find out if Niko Jovic a brilliant scientist was murdered.
Once the game begins you must choose your level of expert:
1.) Junior Detective
2.) Senior Detective
For this walkthrough, I have done something different. I have done the walkthrough solutions for BOTH the Junior and Senior Detective.

This is the first game that you do not begin the game at Nancy's desk! You find yourself viewing the events of the murder you will be investigating. You will have a few things in your possession, which appear on the bottom left of the screen. You have your inventory which is the bottom bar across the screen, where you can open and use, read, or select the items seen. If it has an eye, you can look at it closer – for example read a letter. You can also select something in your inventory by clicking it and clicking on something to use it on – for example a key to open a locked drawer, you would click on the key in your bag and then click on the lock on the door and it will automatically unlock. Next to the inventory you have your journal, which has observations, and suspect information. These can come in helpful if you get caught in what seems to be a dead end. Next is your Task List, which when you are a Senior Detective, is disabled. Finally you have your cell phone. This can come in very useful at times.

To operate your cell phone you click on it. You have 5 options from there - phone, camera, games, settings and messages. Phone will take you to your cell phone, where you can make a phone call to your friends Frank and Joe Hardy and to Victor Lossett. To make a call to a contact, click their picture and then click on "call".
Click on menu to go back to the first screen.
Camera will take you into picture mode. There is no game requirements for picture taking in this particular game.

Next you can click on games and play 4 different games on your cell phone.

Settings allows you change your wallpaper, ringback and message sound.

Finally, Messages is just that, it shows you the incoming text messages, unfortunately, you cannot send any text messages in this game. Use the right/left arrow to scroll through the different text messages if you need to view them.

On the bottom left of the screen features the menu button: from here you can choose, the main menu, save a game, load a game, game settings, help and resume game. Pretty self-explanatory right? I guess if you need help with these, post a comment, and I would be glad to help. :)

HINT: Save regularly on many different slots, that way if you miss something and have to go back you will be able to start from a previous save rather than overwriting the last data and only have 1 saving point.

One last thing: When you are looking around, your magnifying glass will light up white when you can take a closer look, when you can use or take something it turns into a hand, when it turns into an arrow you can switch camera angles.

Ready to get started?
