Overview
Description

Dive into a chilling carnival of horrors where you must locate a missing woman by navigating both the familiar realm and a nightmarish mirror dimension. Along the way, solve inventive minigames, uncover hidden objects, and unravel the tragic tale of star‑crossed lovers while preventing the Evil One from breaking free. A clever monkey companion aids your quest, adding charm to the atmospheric, hand‑painted visuals. Experience a blend of mystery, puzzle‑solving, and adventure across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS.

Nancy Drew steps into a seaside amusement park where an antique carousel horse has vanished, and the merry‑go‑round mysteriously runs on its own after dark. As the lone investigator, you’ll explore eerie attractions, uncover hidden clues, and piece together the truth behind the ghostly rides. Navigate atmospheric locations, interrogate quirky characters, and solve challenging puzzles to reveal whether the painted ponies are searching for their missing lead horse—or something far more sinister lurks in the shadows.
