As a kid, I enjoyed the Hardy Boys books from the 60s (although I read them in the 90s). The brothers Frank and Joe were always mixed up in one case or another in their hometown of Bayport in the northeastern US. The book series is still on going, although the Hardy Boys universe has been modernized, and last year, The Adventure Company developed a PC game based known as The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft. Fast forward to the present, and the game has been re-released for the Wii.

A mysterious accident overshadows an otherwise peaceful abbey, it’s up to you and your young apprentice to ascertain the truth behind the matter in Murder In the Abbey, one of Dreamcatcher Interactive’s latest point and click adventures for the PC. I’ve recently completed the adventure and while it does have its shortcomings, it does provide for an engaging weekend adventure, as well as one that’s great for beginners, all at an attractive price.
