i don't like this game, but for some reason i continually forget that i don't like it, so i've replayed it a few times. every time i do, i think to myself: that's the last time i'm ever going to replay that. and then i forget, and do it again. maybe putting it in writing is the ticket. so, DOOR: DO NOT REPLAY THE WHITE WOLF OF ICICLE CREEK.
there's nothing BAD in it per se, it just feels like a rehash of a couple other games i enjoy more, and includes several puzzles that frustrate the hell out of me every time. but i'll get to that. the white wolf of icicle creek sees nancy traveling to alberta, canada to investigate a series of incidents which seem like sabotage at a remote bed and breakfast. nancy gets the gig courtesy of bess & george's aunt and uncle the rawleys, whose ranch nancy saved 6 games ago. and they're not the only call-back--nancy also has to work with tino balducci (from the train), who is consulting by phone after he flirted his way into the gig (and is actually getting paid, which nancy of course is not).
