Chapter 20 - Case Study—Adapting Classic Books to a Computer Game for the Female Audience: Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock

Abstract

Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock is the 12th in the series of Nancy Drew mystery computer games produced by Her Interactive. In these games, the player takes on the role of Nancy Drew and sees and hears the events of the game from her perspective. This is a first person game;we never actually see Nancy Drew. The Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock game was inspired by the first Nancy Drew mystery book ever published. The game is set in 1930, the same year as the original book's publication.
