Simoun 05/04/19 9:05:34 PM #268:	Nancy Drew 15: The Creature of Kapu Cave (PC) Geez. I don't know if this is worse than Danger by Design but the two will share a space on the bottom. While the last game was obviously padded and added an unnecessary treasure hunt to an otherwise, uncontrollable final solution, this game at least made every action make sense and actually had a culprit amongst the suspects. However, it was still padded by stupidly obnoxious minigames which while are explained (the bad guy used them to keep you busy), was still very shitty to grind in. By the time the final explanation came around, several facts came to light that I could never have predicted. And the fact that ~~the titurlar Creature didn't fucking exist~~ made me laugh hysterically. See, we only ever see the Creature of Kapu Cave in a sense that WE the gamer would. Nancy never chalks it up, and the Hardy Boys never even encounter it. So really, it was only a Creature in our eyes. Which is stupid. I sense alot of missed opportunities. 30% of the game is spent completing a hideous bug minigame all because an aloof professor lost her notes. Another 30% is spent doing camping minigames for in-game currency. And the rest? Exploring a sinister cave without any explanation. It had puzzles, but there was no payoff central to the mystery. So weird. I sincerely believe the development of this game had frayed ideas, tied together to release under a deadline. Definitely one of the weakest of the series. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. <cite>Simoun posted [p:921470932] in Post Each ...
