What players think
The recurring themes across 171 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Danger by Design offers a satisfying mix of code-breaking, mechanical challenges, inventory-based tasks, pattern recognition, and environmental puzzles that naturally fit within the story.
Gameplay remains faithful to the formula that fans of the Nancy Drew series appreciate.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and is not shown.
