This game plays out in three acts which follow the wedding plans of Nancy's superNamodel friend Sydney and her fiancée Vic, a reality TV star. The couple's wedding plans are plagued with by a series of pranks and some life-threatening accidents. The wedding dress is shredded before last fitting, Vic is served a piece of cake laced with glass shards, and Syd gets a series of ominous text messages threatening her death. Players help solve these mysteries by interviewing characters and playing casual games, predominantly hidden object puzzles. There are also games about unscrambling words and memorizing the order of things."
Can You Unveil the Wedding Mystery? Weddings are never dull, especially when the bride and groom are famous! But this is no ordinary occasion - it's plagued by sabotage. You are Nancy Drew, bridesmaid and sleuth extraordinaire. Can you catch more than a bouquet to make this a happily ever after?
Developer Her Interactive is known for consistently making high-quality adventure games-and is especially known for using the venerable Nancy Drew book series to create entertaining, challenging adventures suitable for both kids and adults alike. By contrast, new DS title, Nancy Drew: The Model Mysteries, brought to us by THQ and developer Awe Games, is an uninspired, poorly-made Nancy Drew adventure that could really use a strong dose of the Her Interactive magic.
