The latest Nancy Drew adventure game for the PC, Nancy Drew 15: The Creature of Kapu Cave, was released this week by Her Interactive and is available for purchase from the Nancy Drew page on the Games of Mystery website.
In her latest adventure, Nancy travels to Hawaii as a research assistant for Dr. Quigley Kim to determine why the population of native caterpillars has exploded. The Hardy Boys, on a separate covert operation, are also visiting -- and both stumble across the mystery of the Hilihili research compound and its evil vibes. Some believe it's linked to the legend of Kane 'Okala. Local legend has it that a long time ago, a man was sacrificed to the hungry volcano to appease it. Kane 'Okala, or "the rough-skinned man," later escaped from the volcano, but he was scarred for life with a rough-skinned and frightening appearance. When Nancy arrives at Camp Quigley, she sees a monster ravaging the camp, and soon discovers that Dr. Quigley is missing! Could the monster she saw be Kane 'Okala? She'll have to team up with the Hardy Boys to find out!
Nancy Drew 15: The Creature of Kapu Cave incorporates such exciting features as:
• For the first time, the ability to play as three different characters: Nancy, Joe Hardy and Frank Hardy depending on the skills and clues needed to solve the mystery;
