What it is
Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device is a single-player adventure game from HeR Interactive, released in 2012. Players take the role of detective Nancy Drew and investigate a suspicious death at a remote, Tesla-inspired laboratory. The police investigation has gone nowhere, and the lab owner asks Nancy to uncover what happened inside the secretive facility. The game also points players toward facts about Nikola Tesla, described as an eccentric physicist and inventor. It is listed for Microsoft Windows and macOS, with Steam features including Family Sharing. The Steam release date is Oct 23, 2012. Mac compatibility has an important restriction: the store information says the game will not run on Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura or later Mac operating systems. Players on Mac should check their operating system against that list before choosing the game.
