Penelope Pendrick and the Art of Deceit

I really enjoyed this game! It definitely had elements that reminded me of my beloved Nancy Drew point-and-click mystery games, which was really fun. I have no idea how I would've solved the final puzzle without a walkthrough, but overall really enjoyed the games, the characters were interesting and there were plenty of moments of suspense! Highly recommend for other ND lovers :)

As a long-time fan of the Nancy Drew/Her Interactive universe, I've been searching for the point and click game that could finally scratch that itch. This is that game! Penelope is that girl! :) Fantastic play-through, great dialogue, excellent graphics and navigation, and fun puzzles. I can't wait for the next one to come out!

Incredible!! Didn't realize how much I've missed sitting back and solving a great mystery along with some puzzles. The plot was perfect and rounded out so nicely. Thank you to the team who brought this to life!

Loved this game! Felt very much like the old school Nancy Drew games. The puzzles were the perfect amount of difficulty, not too easy but also not impossible to figure out. The music and the atmosphere were fun, I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next in the series!

Growing up on Nancy Drew and it still being my comfort game I was really disappointed in the new games. Penelope Pendrick itched that scratch I didn't know I needed so much in my life again. Highly recommend if you were as obsessed with Nancy Drew as I was!

It feels difficult to not compare every point and click mystery game to the original Nancy Drew series, but this one truly felt so familiar to that. The voice acting and graphics were pretty well done and had very similar mechanics. I do feel that the flow of the game can be challenging to navigate as there are some very specific triggers that need to be met at times resulting in frequent visits to walk through guides or tips. Many of the puzzles had great clues leading up to them, but there were not many verbal prompts identifying when something was associated with another location or item. I did like that you could not just put in answers manually that were found through spoilers without having found the evidence first, but I would love to see a bit more of a hint system or verbal prompt added to help offer some direction. In the end, it was really a very well made and engaging game. It definitely scratched an itch that has been present for many years now. I highly recommend giving it a try if you are looking for a spiritual successor to Nancy Drew with a variety of challenging puzzles.
