Nancy Drew side blog of roboticyeti.tumblr.com. Possible spoiler warning for all 34 of the Nancy Drew games plus the 2 Dossier games AND the Hardy Boys DS game. Tentatively taking gif requests from any of the games.
I made another art journal page inspired by Nancy Drew; this time it's Danger on Deception Island themed. Turns out I own a lot of beach themed stickers so I was happy to use those up.
@notprincehamlet & @you-have-made-a-fatal-error made DDI collages a few years ago and were definitely an inspiration, so be sure to check theirs out, too.
I never noticed until recently that in CAR when Nancy finds the jewelry from the heist, she very clearly leaves behind a pearl necklace after picking up the rest.
funniest glitch in KEY that I encountered very much without trying was right at the beginning when you had to pick up the alchemist book. somehow, I managed to exit reading the book before the book was removed from the map, so the book was both in my inventory and the bookshelf at the same time. logically, I decided to grab the second copy of the book, which also entered my inventory in a new slot.
however, when I tried to leave the bookshelf and go back to what I was doing, the game immediately black screened and wouldn't go away until I exited the game, which makes me imagine what happened was Nancy tried to carry both books, but they were so heavy she fell over and immediately passed out
hey, so did you know that you could get softlocked out of KEY? because apparently YOU CAN
I'm doing my second playthrough of this game rn just so I can slander it accurately in the future, and so naturally I am doing my best to color outside of the lines. this is always a lot of fun in the other games! doing things out of order and watching the flags mess up here and there has gotta be one of my favorite nd pasttimes by far
naturally, this meant that when I reached the alchemy lab, I thought, huh.
will they let me open the chest before doing the alchemy puzzle? normally this game refuses to so much as let you click on anything until it is the precise time that you're ~supposed to
but lo and behold! you can absolutely open the chest first!
this astonished me. I wondered if this meant I could skip the alchemy puzzle altogether, and tried to leave...
hm. interesting. all right, the game demands I do the alchemy puzzle. that's fine, I guess.
so ofc I go back and do just that. and try to leave again.
but here's nancy, once again:
at this point I was like, hm, okay, maybe I overlooked sth else in the alchemy lab? I proceed to painstakingly go through the walkthrough and do everything it asks, but... no dice.
so I thought, okay, maybe I'll try doing the alchemy puzzle again. can't hurt to try!
which led to something incredible.
exhibit a: please note the lack of a stone under that there dome
exhibit b: no stone to retrieve, making nancy look mildly insane.
so I thought, okay, kinda weird, but all right. the game is confused.
then I pulled back and noticed... there was a stone. hovering in mid-air right in front of nancy.
naturally, I immediately grab it, utterly baffled at this glitch, thinking that it wouldn't allow me to interact with it, or that it would disappear if I tried.
NOT SO
nancy is now the proud owner of not one, but two lock combination stones!
now, I immediately thought, my god, I could create the funniest inventory possible here and just fill it up with lock combination stones. unfortunately, it ends up not giving you anything after you have two, which was profoundly disappointing.
anyway, all that to say that it still won't let me leave the alchemy lab and my last save is several hours back :)
and all this can be yours for the low low price of not playing their extremely linear game in exactly the order they want you to :)
