This is a mystery/point-and-click adventure game, not a hidden object game. It has colorful graphics, and good voice-over work which adds much enjoyment to the game. I enjoyed the 1930's setting with its slang, music, and Nancy's beautiful car. The puzzles are not too difficult in this game, compared to other Nancy Drew games. What will help you is taking notes, which sounds boring but actually makes the game so much more fun. If you get stuck, Nancy has a journal which provides clues as to what she should do next. If you're looking for a mystery that you get to solve, along with plenty of snooping and sneaking about this game is a good choice.
I recommend this game!

I have played the free trial almost completely, and I enjoy this game a lot. It is beautiful, and different than any game I have played. It is a puzzle game in which you try to recreate Japanese-style paintings and prints using silhouettes which you rotate into the correct position. The controls are easy, and there is a hint system, although the game really wants you to figure out the puzzles yourself (which I like). The game may take some getting used to, but don't give up, at least not on the trial.
One problem I had was that many of the silhouettes do not look like anything. Also, the rating system was too strident, and I would have like to be able to turn it off. You do not need a perfect score to advance, they are just there for an extra challenge. Overall, a fun and challenging game.
