Plot
~~~
The plot was pretty good I loved how the mystery went so deep
Characters
~~~~~~~
I really liked how we only had a few characters this game they were all very nice and likable which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you want in an Nancy Drew game.
Kyler
~~~
She was very nice and sweet and seemed like a genuine person who is really nice and caring.
Kit
~~
Kit was nice for the most part and seemed really interesting I just wish we would have gotten to know him more.
Donal
~~~~
He was quite a character! With out a doubt the most fun to talk to and he always kept you entertained.
Scariness
~~~~~~~
This game wasn't quite as scary as most people thought for me I thought this game was pretty scary but nothing like haveing nightmares or anything.
Setting
~~~~
I liked the setting but it's really dark and that kinda bothered me but I thought the castle and it's surroundings were very beautiful.
Transportation
~~~~~~~~~~
It is just like any other Nancy drew game but when you're outside you walk in third person and that was kinda annoying becuase it looked a bit cartooonish.
Money
~~~~
I loved getting Irish money in this game it was fun there was a few ways to get money: details removed.
Puzzles
~~~~~
There are a lot of puzzles in this game and they are pretty time consuming and a bit challenging
Exploring
~~~~~~
I kinda sad to say that there isn't much of this in this game.
Music
~~~~
The music was great it wasn't to Irish but you can tell it has culture in it.
Graphics
~~~~~~
Very advanced! it was so real!
Second Chance
~~~~~~~~~~
I loved the second chances in this one it was stuff that might actually happen.
Phone friends
~~~~~~~~
I liked talking to Bess and George but Ned was a tad boring.
Overall rating
~~~~~~~~
8/10
Why
~~~
Because it need less puzzles and more sleuthing and more character development.

Great review! I agree with most everything you said, especially your final statement that HAU needed less puzzles, and more sleuthing and character interaction. It would have made this already great game that much better! Well said! :thumbsup:
