Then there’s Rachel, an anxiety-ridden overachiever who wastes no time in assigning tasks for you to complete, since as she says, “ you have nothing else to do.” Then there is Leela, the boyish star athlete and über-competitive schoolmate who expects you to play both air hockey and darts against her. Next door is Mel, a self-proclaimed outcast who desperately wishes she wasn’t. The more you explore, the better you’ll get to know Nancy’s fellow classmates along the way.
Little do you know at the time that these girls have taken texting to the next level, and within minutes of Izzy leaving you receive your first text, and guess what: it’s gossip about you! That was fast! Izzy makes a few backhanded comments in your direction, quickly letting you know that your status on the social totem pole is right at the bottom, and then sets up your cell to receive campus emails and texts. After getting batted about by her, you walk right into Waverly’s reigning queen bee. To start with, your new roomie, the twitchy Corine, has a runaway mouth that never seems to slow down, and she is less than thrilled with your arrival just before a huge paper is due. These girls make grand accusations, gossip relentlessly, easily and quickly pass judgment, and talk trash about each other non-stop. With the halls packed with two-faced lassies, it’s going to be hard for Nancy to sort out the tough talk from the criminal behaviour. Not a bad incentive to encourage learning… or maybe some malicious plotting instead.

As you can imagine, this hasn’t gone over so well with worried parents, who are spending the equivalent of a vacation home in the Hamptons for their daughters to get a first-class education.īut why all the fuss? Well, the Valedictorian gets a full scholarship to the Ivy League school of their choice. The latest crisis resulted in a girl going to the hospital with a life-threatening allergic reaction. The first note is just a warning, but whenever a second note is received, it is usually followed by an unfortunate accident. A few weeks prior, girls started receiving threatening notes from a mysterious ‘Black Cat’. It seems someone is taking out possible Valedictorian candidates at Waverly, one girl at a time. These girls have their own culture, as Nancy learns within moments of her arrival.Īnd what is Nancy doing at this bastion of scions and snotty girls? To use the local parlance: Duh… like, solving a mystery. Her Interactive doesn’t cut Nancy any slack in the world of privileged, spoiled-rotten prep school girls. Catfights, backstabbing, boyfriend stealing, it’s all here. It is one of the series’ greatest strengths, and in Warnings at Waverly Academy, you land smack dab in the middle of Mean Girls, USA.
The Nancy Drew mysteries have always had wonderfully colourful characters: eccentric heiresses, corny con artists, loony clothing designers, you name it. Fortunately, that doesn’t matter this time, as this is far and away the best of the Nancy Drew titles to date, so even if you’ve grown tired of the same old thing, this game warrants another look at the long-running series.
This is true of Warnings at Waverly Academy as well, as no new technical or design ground is tread once again. Many elements are so formulaic that you can guess what is going to happen before it does. With 21 Nancy Drew adventures in the books, so to speak, Her Interactive has had quite a bit of practice honing their craft, which guarantees a certain degree of polish and reliability but at times gives these games almost an assembly line feel.
