I’ve never used ChatGPT before, but I just wanted to see what it was like? Naturally, I went the Nancy Drew route. Here’s who the culprit was for Ghost of Thornton Hall according to it:
“In *Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall*, the mystery revolves around the disappearance of Jessalyn Thornton, a young woman who went missing on the night of her pre-wedding party at the Thornton family estate. Throughout the game, Nancy investigates a range of suspicious occurrences at Thornton Hall, all while trying to uncover the truth behind Jessalyn's vanishing.
**Spoiler Alert:**
The culprit behind Jessalyn's disappearance is **Charlotte Thornton**, Jessalyn's aunt. She had been manipulating events and using her knowledge of the family’s past to her advantage. It turns out that Charlotte was obsessed with the idea of bringing back her deceased sister, and in her mind, she thought Jessalyn's disappearance might "revive" the family's lost fortune and ensure the Thornton legacy. She staged Jessalyn's disappearance with the help of supernatural elements she believed in, although she ultimately played a role in what happened.
The game is filled with atmospheric suspense, so the reveal is a bit of a twist, making Charlotte's true motives all the more shocking when uncovered. The complex relationship between the family members and the hints of a ghostly presence at Thornton Hall add to the tension, making this one of the more memorable Nancy Drew mysteries.”
(Not a spoiler) — So I’m THREE MINUTES into the Alex Hill game on livestream, and at the very beginning, the main character’s boss talks about how we screwed up the Miliken case and need to be more careful
YALL 😭😭😭 straight up talking about Penny Miliken and all that failed with Midnight in Salem. When I tell you, I DIED. The chat died. We were all dead.
The dedication to hold onto that joke for years before releasing the game AND IT BE SO NICHE TO JUST US NANCY FANS!! Yall gotta buy this game
I had a dream last night that there was Nancy Drew #35 came out and it was in the old system and the gameplay was just like it used to be and it was beautiful.
Shout out to people who make Nancy Drew games music compilation videos for YouTube. Perfect for working in the Children’s Room at the library as the department head with lots of call-outs and chaos and a killer headache 🥴 Really helps me stay calm while working and is great for the kids!
My friends! It has been much too long. So much has been happening!
I just needed to share that I went to the Peabody Essex Museum today in Salem, MA. I live in the area (literally was born in Salem), so I’ve been to the PEM a LOT. Like a lot a lot. Like my family were members for the majority of my childhood a lot.
ANYWAYS they have this exhibit going on until February about Spiritualism, and I had to share some photos! I knew there would be references to Houdini, but there was so much more there that reminded me of the games!
What card am I looking at ??
I know that face
Harry Houdini was so big in Salem!
Bonus picture! The ORIGINAL Cottingley Fairies photo!!! I freaked out when I saw this.
Pls enjoy! And visit the exhibit if you’re in the area!
It’s also been like 5 months since I’ve played a Nancy Drew game how am I surviving
Oh yeah, for anyone who wants productive ND music, here are (some) of the playlists that exist on youtube made by the lovely people in our community with varying moods. I've been keeping this on a google doc, but may as well post it here.
My apologies if I missed anyone's video! This is a non-exhaustive list.
