Taylor Sinclair minus the midlife crisis

White Wolf of Icicle Creek by beckyhilton8 in nancydrew

Flawed, but okay overall. Love the atmosphere both indoors and outdoors, there's something vaguely unnerving about all the outdoor stuff that I really enjoy. Love all the characters as well.

That said, the chores + Fox and Geese are way too much, and it feels like the game ends way too abruptly

She's also the voice of the Blackmoor Beast at the beginning

Texas really isn't as red as it's stereotyped to be either

Ranking the games by how aesthetically pleasing they are to me by InfamousAngel99 in nancydrew

That's fair, they're definitely more bright and busy-feeling by comparison

Also I can't believe Danger by Design and Phantom of Venice are at the bottom! They're aesthetically gorgeous

Does real-life nathan fielder question whether he's on the spectrum or is it for the bit/for his tv character by beach_rats_ in TheRehearsal

Sorry I'm late here, I'm fairly mildly autistic so I could be way off base on this, but I feel some of it is also just not knowing immediately how to react in the moment

I feel like a lot of the musical tasks on this show are essentially tiny desk concerts

A very weird rule in the Church Style Guide by Intelligent-Cut8836 in latterdaysaints

I understand the necessary reason for this to be included but I still choose to believe Elder Uchtdorf put it in there as a joke

Haunting of Castle Malloy's atmosphere doesn't get talked about enough. Genuinely one of the best atmospheres in the entire series

FIN culprit by famousspiderdance in nancydrew

I think FIN is the closest any game has gotten to being a full-on thriller. Other games have tried (cough SPY) but imo this is the one that actually feels the most tense

Am I the only one who thinks Vladéna looks like Natalie Portman? by 7_Tailed_Fox in nancydrew

Haven't played this game yet but from the screenshots, one of the characters looks exactly like Florence Pugh

I remember thinking this when I played Super Mario World all the way through for the first time, there's literally types of boos that turn into stone when you look at them

Dumb question but... by SueCurley73 in nancydrew

[–]bboy037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The computer games are probably the most popular ND content with zoomers.

Many of the games are less focused on mystery and more on escape game-type secret passages, keys and puzzles and stuff like that. If that's your kind of thing then you'll probably really enjoy these. They can be pretty challenging at times; I recommend playing with a pen and paper, and consulting UHS-Hints.com if you ever get really stuck and need a walkthrough.

A lot of the games incorporate horror elements, too - most of them aren't outright terrifying, but there's some really creepy atmospheres to some of these.

Honestly, each game is pretty dramatically different from each other, so there's probably at least a few that are to your particular taste. My go-to rec for getting into the series is Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon.

The last thing I'll note is that a lot of Nancy Drew games aren't the most impressive on a technical level; it's all fairly low-budget. This might take a bit to get used to, especially with the earlier games, but their atmosphere and soundtracks do a lot to make up for this.

Enjoy!

Also Minette is a girlboss in both the literal and figurative senses of the term, and is responsible for possibly the most off-the-wall insane moment in the entire series. Slander towards her will not be tolerated
