Oh, and it's pitch black, so you have to use a tiny green glowstick to see. And you only have a limited time to figure out how to get out, because if you don't, you'll suffocate (a fact Nancy helpfully reminds you of fairly often). The entire endgame sequence wherein you are trapped inside an airtight monolith with a corpse.

However, if you scour the game enough, you realize most of these are faked.

The random shadow walking past the stained glass door.

Yes, the game somehow made it possible to make it look like a note screams at you. It's written in such a way that it appears to be somebody screaming at you up close.

The note that says 'LEAVE THE MANSION, NOW!!!'.

The random ghostly howl in the hallway.

The noise coming from behind the windows in the parlor.

The phoenix flicking its head in the parlor.

The rare occurrence in the dining room where the lights dim, the candles light on their own, and you hear very creepy whispering.

Don't forget the painting that whispers 'I see you' when you walk past it and the screech when you go into your room the second time and the creepy voice on the telephone!.

You walk past it a few times, nothing happens. With red lights and random screaming in the background from his other victim. The villain locks you in a TV studio, gives you a really long rant about how life is a soap opera, and then murders you.

The ending of this game DEFINITELY needs a mention.

Going by each game: #2 Stay Tuned for Danger Too bad there are some moments that makes the audience uneasy. Nancy Drew is a great mystery game for children and adults alike. right? This screenshot isn't even the scariest part of the game, this is just the trailer.
