NANCY DREW®: The Deadly Device

User’s Manual
Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may
appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
“photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be
reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are
drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Fear lingers in a remote laboratory after a physicist's suspicious demise. A police

investigation resulted in nothing except a case as cold as the secretive personalities
and steel walls that enshroud a top-secret Tesla-inspired facility. That's why the lab
owner asked you, as Detective Nancy Drew, to expose the terrifying truth about
The Deadly Device!
