You know what else I got in my duffel?

*formerly whatthefucknancydrew* Hi! I'm Rachel. I like Nancy Drew so I made a blog about it. (how original) Enjoy! (P.S. I post really infrequently, sorry about that.)

I'm sorry for the very long post but:

Due to popular demand (and apparently the fact that I can have up to 30 pictures and I wouldn't have to split it up into a few posts), here is my powerpoint. I do not have the categories in here but if you are interested in seeing the slideshow in its entirety, you can look at it here. You are also missing my silly little jokes, but that is because I do not want to upload a 15-20 minute video.

Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem (2019)

[cockmcstuffins]

the cw fall line-up article photos splicing two of the shows together is always funny to me because it makes me think nancy drew and batwoman are going to have a crossover and honestly at this point sure

[vote4holt]

If they want it more realistic it should be a Nancy Drew and Catwoman crossover.

You know, the age old classic where Nancy has to steal catwoman’s suit and then dance for tips at a nightclub in Italy? Classic stuff right there

That Bul post of mine is getting notes and I read the tags and people are like omg I’m dying which is great but every time I am reminded of that bullshit corn game I feel my blood pressure rise and it feels like

I finished MID today

And I just don’t feel anything. Not disappointed, not satisfied. Just nothing. This was very much a nothing game to me. Yes, things happened in the game, but I (Nancy) didn’t do any of it. The game was so linear and the stakes felt very low to me. One of the things I really liked about the old games was how you could do things in any order. There was also no need to switch game engines, the “freedom of movement” added nothing. It’s still a point and click game.

There were hardly any puzzles and the ones that were in there felt very tedious to me for little pay off. Decoding a to-do list that gives us almost zero information? Really? Matching wavelengths of ghosts which we know do not exist in Nancy’s world?

That said, I did enjoy mixing herbs and the circular puzzle towards the end. Some of the settings are truly beautiful and I genuinely was interested in the story.

But it just wasn’t that fun. I don’t even feel the need to go back and get all of the achievements. I just don’t care enough to. This didn’t feel like a Nancy Drew game to me. It felt more like a movie that I occasionally got to click around in.

did i REALLY just spend HALF AN HOUR decoding a fucking TO DO LIST

[juliusmcquadescoat-deactivated2]

the first day of 2020 and i wake up thinking about how MID would have been such a good game on the old engine, and how i would kill for a game in south america on the old engine, and how i think herinteractive really had a unique thing going with the point and click environments they built which they could have coasted on for a long time into the future still, and i feel they’re going to regret jumping into this half-assed unity mess where they didn’t even really contribute to or create the game anyway!
