I finished KEY! There are parts that I'm really happy with and parts I'm disappointed with and parts that made me laugh and parts that left me going ?????
but at the end of the day, I got to curl up with my sweet old kitty and play the new Nancy Drew game together. Thanks HeR <3
noooo the game was going so ok…. why is this ending so goofy 🙈🙈🙈
Anyone else having issues with KEY’s UI being less than responsive?
Can’t believe Nancy heard about someone’s dead mother and didn’t even mention her own dead mom trauma.
Ned, you continue to be a complete and total potato of a man.
Hope ND35 is Nancy Drew and the Mystery of Who Cloned These Five People and Dropped Them in Prague
Some of the lighting is so weird. And the super detailed textures next to the really flat textures!!! I’m not expecting the best graphical fidelity, but some of these decisions are… noticeable to say the least
It’s not a Nancy Drew game if you can’t steal random shit for no reason. Baby, this is a Nancy Drew game.
Ongoing KEY thoughts:
Oof I really am not used to the new VA
That opening letter writing felt… clunky… hope that’s just me bein tired and grumpy, not a sign for the overall quality of the game
I really like the character models so far. Facial animation is a little uncanny valley stiff at first, but I enjoy it!
Ok the first scene with Adela and Adela is so goofy i missed you Nancy Drew cringe <3
Awww the pictures from previous games on the cafe wall is a nice touch. I’m really appreciating all the references to the old games,, it’s sweet <3
WOOO JEWISH MENTION!!!!! ✡️✡️✡️

Once again, I've found Rick Arlen's (Stay Tuned For Danger) character model in an obscure adventure game (Cookie's Bustle).
Wait what do you mean again
Okay CONTEXT, I love researching old games (Utopian Scholastic is one of my favourite user interface aesthetics and it's a graphics designer high I've chased after since the Eyewitness games released) and as I've jumped from 2000s game to 90s game etc, I've made some amusing findings.
Rick Arlen's character model in Nancy Drew's Stay Tuned For Danger was apparently a pre-made asset. This is not a diss or an insult--pre-made assets get a bad rep because of asset flip scams and shovelware. As a game dev, it's pretty normal to use some pre-made assets for your project if it works and you remix it enough that it becomes your own thing. That's literally what they're there for. BUT a downside you have to consider is that if you have permission to use it, others can as well, and their use of the same asset can give that asset a different context than from your use of it, and players familiar with both games may make connections to it. Kinda the, "This isn't a deerstalker hat anymore. It's a Sherlock Holmes hat," effect.
As I mentioned in the OP, Rick Arlen appears in a game called Cookie's Bustle. I found out about this because there's been a huge issue with this game being turned into lost media on purpose. A copyright troll is trying to get rid of all traces of this game, including internet archives. It's awful, and I hope Cookie gets her chance at gracing the internet with her wholesome presence again, as it looks like the copyright troll went too far and has now invoked the Streisand Effect in full force. I've never seen so much sudden fanart for a 1999 game in 2023 ever to this extent.
SO it turns out that Rick Arlen's dazzling career didn't end with Nancy Drew. He also made an appearance in...
SONIC ADVENTURE 2???
You know the "Eggman Makes an Announcement on Twitter" YouTube meme? That uses a clip from Sonic Adventure 2? Rick Arlen's 3D model appears in it:
It gets even funnier when you find out that Rick Arlen's voice actor voiced Sonic in Sonic Adventure.
Doesn't end there though. Rick also makes an appearance in a video about the AVCEN jetpod:
This wasn't discovered by me, this was discovered by this-story-of-dreams in another post.
And this just. Keeps happening.

This was found by the creator(s) of the Nancy Drew Iceberg, which includes more examples of Rick Arlen's appearances in various media (located at the deepest level of the iceberg), which you can read about directly in that post's links. Please be aware of any Not Safe For Work content warnings used in the iceberg's entries.
Bill Kessler thinking a wolf is going to jump two stories to break a window and then run away to slash some tires is some of the funniest stupidity I've ever heard.
