The Silent Spy is the 29th installment in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive.[1][2] It runs Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms and has an ESRB rating of E for moments of mild violence and peril.
A player takes on the first-person view of fictional amateur sleuth Nancy Drew and may solve the mystery through interrogation of suspects, solving of puzzles and discovery of clues.[3][4] There are two difficulty levels, Amateur and Master, offering appropriately challenging puzzles and hints without affecting the plot. The game is loosely based on the book The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes (1964).
Plot
Nearly a decade ago Agent Kate Drew left home to neutralize a biochemical weapon in Scotland. While her assignment was a success, she died in a car accident (or so it was told). Now the echoes of a similar plot reverberate and it is up to the player, as detective Nancy Drew, to thwart the sleeper cell and expose the truth.
Release
The game was released on October 15, 2013, and preorders began on September 16. Special editions which included bonus games, phone charms, outtakes and audio tracks were sent to those who preordered from Her Interactive.
