Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device is the 27th installment in the Nancy Drewpoint-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive. The game is available for play on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms. It has an ESRB rating of E10+ for moments of mild violence. Players take on the first-person view of fictional amateur sleuth Nancy Drew and must solve the mystery through interrogation of suspects, solving puzzles and discovering clues. There are two levels of gameplay, Amateur and Master sleuth modes, each offering a different difficulty level of puzzles and hints, however neither of these changes affect the actual plot of the game. The game is loosely based on two books, The Crime Lab Case (2000) and In and Out of Love (1997).^[1][2]

Plot[edit]

Theoretical physicist Niko Jovic is found fatally electrocuted in a remote Colorado laboratory, Technology of Tomorrow Today, under suspicious circumstances. Relating to wireless transmission of electricity, Niko Jovic's work could sell for millions on the market. With the case stuck at a dead end, the lab owner has asked Nancy Drew to go undercover to investigate this murder. Tensions rise as attempts on Nancy's life start, Nancy must get to the bottom of this case before the murderer catches up with her.

Development[edit]

Characters[edit]

• Nancy Drew (Lani Minella) - Nancy is an 18-year-old amateur detective from the fictional town of River Heights in the United States. She is the only playable character in the game, which means the player must solve the mystery from her perspective.
• Niko Jovic (Josh Crandall) - Rumors in the scientific community said that he had discovered the secret to wireless energy transfer. But before he could release his findings to the world, he was found murdered. Like Tesla, Niko was clever yet secretive. Could someone be looking for what he left behind?
• Ryan Kilpatrick (Katherine Grant-Suttie) - Ryan is a technical engineer that has built and modified several parts of the lab. Her knowledge of the Tesla coil makes her a prime suspect. Is her nice girl impression genuine or an act?
• Mason Quinto (Marc Biagi) - Mason is the smart, driven, and arrogant senior lab assistant. He likes structure and perfection, and values his work. Unlike Niko, Mason believes in proprietary rights. How far will he go to get the credit for his work that he thinks he deserves?
• Ellie York (Sara Mountjoy-Pepka) - Ellie works the night shift in the research department. She is a little evasive and does not get along well with Mason, which drove her to work opposite shifts. While appearing genuinely shaken, her actions after Niko's death seem to indicate that she could be hiding something.
• Gray Cortright (Mark Dodson) - Gray is the head of security. Not the friendly type, he comes across as a little intimidating and is not forthcoming while being questioned. His knowledge and unrestricted access to all areas provide plenty of opportunity for sneaking around unnoticed.
• Victor Lossett (David Cravens-O'Farrell) - Victor is the co-owner of the lab. He has hired you to solve the cold case murder. Eager for the case to be solved, he pushes Nancy to find the culprit. Niko's work and name appear to be very important to him, but there could be more to this mystery than meets the eye.

Additional voice work was performed by Jayme Crandall.

Reception[edit]

Jinny Gudmundsen of USA Today rated it 3.5/4 stars and wrote, 'While this mystery is exciting, what makes it even better is that it is filled with intellectually challenging puzzles — most of which are baked into the story..The developer does a great job of combining real science with a compelling mystery.'^[3] Brandy Shaul of Gamezebo rated it 3.5/5 stars and wrote, 'The storyline is easily the best thing Nancy Drew: Deadly Device has going for it. With so many installments under its proverbial belt, Her Interactive clearly knows how to develop an intriguing tale, and that's no exception here.'^[4] Merlina McGovern of Adventure Gamers rated it 3.5/5 stars and wrote, 'Despite its slow start and limited exploration, The Deadly Device provides a good jolt to the franchise with its compelling story and fun puzzles.'^[5]

Q: How do I print pages from your Web site?

A: Most browsers don't print page background colors or page background images, with the result that printing pages with dark background colors and light text generatesunusable printed pages with light or white text on a white background.

Look for a 'To Print' link in the small text links at thebottom of the page in question. Clicking on this link generates a new copy of the same page, identical in every respect, except that the background color is the default grey, and the textand link colors are set to the default black and dark colors. Print this version of the page instead.

f you don't see the 'Printable Page' link at the bottom of the page in question, you can generate a printable page by doing the following:

1. Select and copy the following URL:
   http://www.pbs.org/cgi-bin/wgbh/printable.pl
   (or write it down)
2. Go to the page you want to print.
3. Under your browser's File menu, select Open Location or Open or Open Page and either paste the above URL into the dialog box window or type it in, and click on the Open button.
4. The resulting page is the printable version of the original page.

Alternatively, you can go to the page you want to print, type or paste the above URL into the Location line at the top of your browser window, and type return.

Q: How do I download MP3 audio or M4V video files?

How can I best view the QTVRs?
How are QuickTime VRs photographed?
Is there a higher-resolution (better) version of the QuickTime movie or QTVR available?
Where can I find QuickTime on the NOVA Web site?

Q: How do I get the free QuickTime software?

A: If you don't already have the QuickTime plug-in (a 'plug-in' is a piece of software),you can download it, free of charge, from Apple Computer. It takes just a few minutes to download it onto your hard disk and install it. From then on, it will open automatically whenever you access QuickTime movies or QuickTime VRs (often shown as 'QTVR'), wherever you are on the Web. QuickTime software is available for Windows OS and for Macintosh OS.

Q: What is a QuickTime VR?

A: QuickTime VR (for 'Virtual Reality') is one of the most striking technologies on the World Wide Web today. If you don't already have the QuickTime software on your system, it is worth every second of the few minutes it takes to download it onto your hard disk and install it. What's more, it's free.

QuickTime images give you an extraordinary sense of being there, on location where the photographs that were used to build the VR were taken. With panoramic VRs, you get the sense that you're standing in a certain spot and spinning 360°on your heels, gaining a full-round view of whatever scene is pictured. With object VRs, the object photographed is the centerpoint, and you 'walk' around it,just as if you were actually doing so in reality.

Q: How can I best view the QTVRs?

• Click and hold down the mouse button to 'grab' the image. Then slide themouse left or right, up or down to move the image.
• Another way to move the image is to bring your cursor to either edgeof the picture. The hand will change to an arrow. Click and hold down themouse button to move the image.
• To zoom in, use the Shift key. To zoom out, use the Control key. (On Macintoshes using earlier versions of the QuickTimeSoftware, the 'option' key zooms in and the 'control' key zooms out.)
• If you want to zoom in on a specific part of the picture, centerthat part and then zoom. You might have to zoom a little and then go up or down to center it.
• If the QTVR has links to other QTVR files or Web pages embedded in it, your cursor will change toa 'hand' when passing over clickable links.

Q: How are QuickTime VRs photographed?

A: In theory, to shoot 360° panoramic VRs, you place your camera on a tripod and turn and shoot to capture a full 360° worth of pictures; you then use special software to 'stitch' the photos together into the full-round VR.

In practice, it's a bit more complicated than that. You have to make sure the camera is level and the optical center of the lens is directly over the centerpoint of the tripod. That ensures a smooth-flowing VR. You also have to make sure that there are as few moving objects, such as people, near the edges of your photos; they can complicate the stitching process. And depending on the focal length of the lens you're using, you must take a set number of pictures a set number of degrees apart from one another. With a 15 mm lens, for instance, you need only shoot 12 photos to complete the 360° with a 24 mm lens, you have to take18 shots, and so on. Special VR tripod heads are available to ease VR shooting.

Object VRs are more time-consuming. For one thing, rather than just a single position as in standard VRs, you have multiple positions, because you have to photograph the object from multiple angles, all the way around it. And you have to keep a set distance from an imaginary vertical line down the center of the object, and keep that line perfectly vertical—all to ensure that in the final VR the object doesn't 'jump' all over the place. (It's like maintaining the same pitch, roll, and yaw for every shot.)

Q: Is there a higher-resolution (better) version of the QuickTime movie or QTVR available?

A: Some of our more recent QuickTime additions to the site (Submarines, Secrets and Spies: See Inside a Submarineor To the Moon: Explore the Moon) make use of Quicktime's auto bandwidth detection to allow the web server to send you the QTVR file mostappropriate for your internet connection speed. Check your QuickTime Settings control panel to see what connectionspeed your QuickTime software currently expects. If you are connecting at 28.8 or 33.6 and would like to receivethe higher-resolution version of the QTVR files, open the QuickTime Settings control panel and change the connection speed to at least 56K Modem/ISDN. The files won't arrive any faster, but you will be sent the larger,higher-resolution versions.

Q: The Windows Media Player logo appears when I try to play a QuickTime movie, but the movie never plays. What is going on?

A: Vee is calling mac os. Your computer system is configured to try to play QuickTime files in Windows Media Player instead of in QuickTime. Windows Media Playerwill be unable to play most (if not all) QuickTime movies found on the NOVA Web site. Reinstall QuickTime; we recommend downloading a freshcopy of the current version using the links above.

Not seeing video enhancements such as chapter navigation and caption controls?

A: Visit this iTunes support page from Apple for a solution.

Q: Can I get a copy of the NOVA Player for my local public television station Web site?

A: The NOVA player is currently in a pilot phase and is only available from eight specially selected public television stations. We hope to expand the player to more stations in the future.

Q: Can I send a copy of the NOVA Player to someone else?

A: Yes. The NOVA Player is designed to be shared. You can share it by e-mailing the player itself, or by sending the link for the page on your local public television station Web site from which you downloaded it.

Q: I saw something on the NOVA Player last week and now I can't find it. Is there a way I can access that content again?
