What it is
Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy is a single-player adventure from Her Interactive. The wedding at Ireland’s Castle Malloy is disrupted when the groom goes missing, and Nancy Drew must follow scattered clues and confront local superstitions to work out what happened. The game mixes that investigation with activities tied to the wedding and its setting. Players can help prepare bouquets and seating charts, join a band to play the Irish drum, try arcade games at the Screaming Banshee Inn and make smoothies for tips. The mystery asks whether a banshee is involved or whether there is a more ordinary explanation for the groom’s disappearance. These side activities sit alongside the clue-solving rather than replacing it. The game is listed for Windows and supports single-player play and Family Sharing. Its Steam genre is Adventure, and the supplied Metacritic score is 81. It is part of the Nancy Drew Adventure Series, described as a PC adventure series.
