❤ Puzzles Cater to All Skill Levels

Players praised the wide variety of puzzles, which often incorporate scientific concepts like binary code, electromagnetic currents, and chemical mixing. While many reviewers found these "science-themed" puzzles quite challenging, they felt the game provided all the necessary information to solve them logically. Experienced Nancy Drew fans enjoyed the difficulty, which offered a satisfying problem-solving experience, while casual players noted the puzzles never became outright frustrating.

❤ Streamlined Exploration with Occasional Obstacles

The game's remote physics lab setting allows for relatively straightforward navigation, with the task list helping players ensure they've thoroughly investigated each area. However, some reviewers encountered occasional difficulty locating specific items or determining if they had fully explored a space due to the lab's dense instrumentation.

❤ Engaging Mystery with Memorable Characters

Players consistently praised the core murder mystery, which features numerous surprising twists that kept them guessing until the end. The cast of characters, such as the quirky assistant Ryan, also drew positive reviews for their memorable personalities. Many appreciated the game's focus on an actual murder investigation rather than more supernatural or accidental plot lines found in earlier entries.

❤ Quality of Life Improvements

Reviewers welcomed the inclusion of helpful features like a hint system and task list, which aided progression through the more challenging puzzles and minimized potential frustration.
