Dance party on the train

blorbo from my nancy drew games

honestly? i really have a lot of gall for laughing at what some people are into on the internet considering i write angst fanfiction for a 2013 nancy drew pc games character who is theorized to be a product of incest. you'd think that would keep me way humbler than it does

PICTURE OF MEGAN MENTIONED BY HER INTERACTIVE IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2025?!?!?!?!??

UPDATE: They apparently are unaware of Megangate so I sent them @thebeastofblackmoor 's post

I don’t think there are adequate words to express how much I love this new era in the Nancy Drew fandom. We’ve grown up on these games and now the Clue Crew is venturing out and creating their own games because the Nancy Drew games inspired them. Something about it embodies the whole spirit and themes of Nancy Drew and getting all sorts of people interested in gaming and becoming fearless.

The company’s original slogan was “For girls who aren’t afraid of a mouse” and that has transformed and motivated a lot of us. It’s become a bit of a banner we all have gotten behind. Somewhere I wonder what the OG HerInteractive team must think watching this new era unfold and watching their legacy blossom. They laid down the groundwork and framework in gaming while the books laid out the foundations.

i wish i was joking.

Shoutout to the porn bots following my lil autistic hyperfixation blog!! Love u guys!! Not interested in ur content but I’m PUMPED to tell u abt big island mike lore

You can’t just throw down a gauntlet like that. They’ll rise to the challenge. Next thing you know you’ll have a Big Island Mike porn bot knocking on your door.

PROMISE?

Big Island Mike: Wanna see if I like that flavor? 💦💦💦🔞🥵

LMAO PLEASE WHY IS THIS SO WELL DONE god I love the clue crew. So good.

it's um. nancy confronting jacques in trt. that's all...

Rainy day, a cup of tea, playing Nancy Drew.

the only reason i didn't go on for longer is because i ran out of space

If anyone ever wants to find out what it feels like to be FERALLY GASLIT, play The Final Scene.

Not only is the first 10 minutes Nancy trying to find help and NO ONE (including and especially the police) believing that her friend was just kidnapped, but also at almost every turn to another person minimizing and dismissing her worry (ie Nick saying they won’t hurt it, or it’s just a prank, the police CONSTANTLY saying that Maya probably wasn’t kidnapped or probably isn’t in any danger, and to go home and rest, and Joseph saying Maya probably isn’t in the building or that she probably didn’t ACTUALLY see those empty pizza boxes and MAYA’S LITERAL FEET MOVING, even the dead owner was out here lying to women and getting away with it all willy nilly)

Other than certain moments with Joseph, all four game characters can be boiled down to people who are too full of themselves to see anyone else’s opinions, fear, or suffering as anything other than an opportunity for them to capitalize on.

Even when they all stand on completely opposing sides of the issues at hand, they ALL find a way to benefit from the kidnapping.

This game has Nancy’s most BEASTLY comebacks, and she spends half of it literally YELLING (depending on what speech blurbs you pick, but I’m always yelling). Her anger is always intensified when no one will listen, which causes people to literally tell her to calm down.

There is so much of what women, or anyone who finds themselves belittled, have to deal with all the time BAKED into the game.

My friends! Yet again! And this is Alex Hill's first time trending (I'm counting it since it's in the ND tag) so congrats to that!

I see America's Test Kitchen is now showing people how to make the Waverly special.

New indie game developer alert: there’s a new demo out for a new developing game called Gumshoe Detective Agency!

Gumshoe Detective Agency is a PC game where you play as a detective in 1995, solving cases using an old-school computer interface. It’s a little love letter to point-and-click mysteries that the indie creator likes such as Nancy Drew and The Roottrees are Dead.

The demo is out now! It’s super short but the creator would love to hear your thoughts.

Advice for playing each Nancy Drew game

Secrets Can Kill: the villain isn’t even introduced as a character until the game is 98% done so basically 98% of the game is spent trying to trigger the introduction of the villain

Stay Tuned For Danger: the only person you can trust is Ralph

Message in a Haunted Mansion: if you’re a conservative Christian you can actually get through this game without the seance just don’t talk to Abby anytime at night

Treasure in the Royal Tower: YOUR ROOM NUMBER IS 205

The Final Scene: Sgt. Ramsey does literally nothing helpful in the slightest

Secret of the Scarlet Hand: Enjoy Henrik while you can

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake: it’s got the most blatant reference to alcohol in an ND game so make sure to get Nancy hecka turnt

The Haunted Carousel: just do whatever Miles tells you to do

Danger on Deception Island: just do whatever Hilda tells you to do

Secret of Shadow Ranch: the ominous warning about the “storms” from Aunt Bet and Uncle Ed is 100% irrelevant.

Secret of the Old Clock: pretty obv from this game that Nancy is the 1% so have fun RPing as that while playing this game

Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon: an octopus tentacle is apparently not a “hand from the deep”

Danger by Design: YOU CAN SELL STUFF BACK TO THE VENDORS

Phantom of Venice: literally everyone in this game is/has been involved in something illegal

Haunting of Castle Malloy: keep in mind that in this game jetpacks are a real thing that work 100% safely

Ransom of the Seven Ships: you know those instructions you get at the beginning of the game that say all you need to do is find El Toro’s treasure and you’ll get Bess back? they’re completely accurate.

Warnings at Waverly Academy: despite the game revolving around a “black cat” there are no actual cats

Trail of the Twister: get an engineering degree before a forensics degree since that’ll help you solve the mystery better

Secrets Can Kill: REMASTERED!: you can just trial and error hitting the right buttons in order to open up the box under the chair in the library
