nancy drew 4: treasure in a royal tower
Dec. 29th, 2023 05:20 pmat the rate i'm playing these i may get through all of them before the new sound card arrives to let me play games 1-2. ah, well.

treasure in the royal tower (2001) falls into the other category of nancy drew story/game: Nancy is Just Trying to Take a Vacation. like jessica fletcher, however, it is never to be. which is all to the good, i think, because like a herding dog nancy drew needs to be employed at all times. i think if she actually tried to relax while snowed in at this hotel she would have lost it. fortunately for all of us, she observes (after writing her usual letter--this time to george--on personalized stationery catching us all up on the state of things) that her radiator is clanking and goes down to reception to see about getting it fixed. the hotel manager, dexter, is so swamped with things that he immediately starts assigning nancy tasks to do in return for him fixing her radiator maybe, someday. nancy, Dog with a Job, leaps at the opportunity. (i somehow missed the opportunity to give the letter to dexter to be sent during this conversation and subsequently carried it through the rest of the game. sorry george.)
