What it is
Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister is a 2010 adventure game from Her Interactive. Players take the role of Nancy Drew, joining a storm-chasing team competing to develop a formula for predicting tornado touchdowns. With a large prize at stake, failing equipment and crew injuries raise the possibility that someone is sabotaging the team. The investigation combines undercover work with meteorology activities: studying clouds, reading Doppler data, surviving tornadoes, driving a Doppler truck, catching prairie dogs, and maintaining weather equipment. Arcade games let players collect pennies to spend on collectible items. The game is single-player and supports Family Sharing. It is listed for Windows and macOS, though the store information warns that it will not run on Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, or newer Mac operating systems. Steam lists Windows and macOS.
