I've always favored the Nancy Drew files series, as well as the Minstrel and the Aladdin versions of the original mystery series due to their badass portrayals of Nancy Drew as well as their plots, but DAMN, the illustrations of these revised text versions of the original mystery series are still unbeatable.

Also, what this series captures is the atmosphere and the adventure aspect of the Nancy Drew series, and the illustrations sure do help to CAPITALIZE on it. You also get a visual peak of what it was like during those times.

Inspired by the other thread asking who your “hear me out” character is.

Yuri got no love when even the monster from Captive Curse did.

Yuri deserves love too :(

I’m interested in everyone’s favorite goodbye saying from the games.

Games I didn't feel like finishing because I wasn't enjoying them:
Shadow Ranch - the saddle pmo
Last Train - felt claustrophobic
Silent Spy - eh I prefer the older games
Treasure in the Royal Tower - I kept hitting a wall on my replay. It reminded me of playing as a kid, I could never beat it but my friend did and I was so mad at the time lol

Any popular games that you chose not to finish?

When you're stuck on Shadow at the Waters Edge but you refuse to use hints so Nancy's just forced to wander the halls and make bento over..... and over..... and over again...

I love mini games, ESPECIALLY cooking ones! I just finished playing Ugoku Sushi Bar and loved it, felt like the vibe of a mini game, there's even a fishing mini game! What are your favorites? What game do they remind you of?

Breaking out a spooky one for the season, too.

A friend of mine streamed a playthrough of this game, my first time experiencing anything Nancy Drew. It was a grand time, and because I enjoy meme-ing what I enjoy, felt compelled to draw up a college of experiences from this game.

This franchise seems great, and I hope my joy from it can be felt in this.

maybe i've been unemployed for too long

one of the half prices near me always seems to have something fun! im not sure what the "purse" with the two flashlights inside was done for, I've never seen it before and same with that old clock with the purple dust jacket. gonna have to do some research to find out but either way they were so fun and different I had to get them for my collection. also found a British edition dust jacket. I love that they are dust jackets but have the spine that looks like the American picture covers and the book itself is red instead of blue 😍

CUR is my favorite game and I have been avoiding it like the plague during my no walkthrough Master Sleuth run 😂

9 hours of gameplay, 15 pages of notes, so many retracings of steps, and lots of games with Jane later, and I succeeded! I LOVED sitting in this game, forcing myself to take breaks when feeling hopelessly lost or stuck, and just immersing myself in all the Penvellyn lore.

I love that my award at the end of the game was for playing a lot of games with lonely Jane. 🤧 my skull and bones buddy lol

I think I got a good amount of the optional haunting scenes! Maybe all of them? The benefit of spending so much time in the game haha

there is an app where you can see if there’s any near you, there were a lot more than I expected in my area!

I’m sure this isn’t the most unhinged choice but this is mine

i remembered being in love with dave gregory as a tween…but i did NOT remember his ass in these jeans…

I didn’t play Treasure in the Royal Tower growing up so I had no frame of reference for it. I went into it blind and loved it but it was definitely a whole different vibe than what I was expecting. Couldn’t get this vibe out of my head so I made a Pinterest mood board of it, lol. I actually have quite a few games that subverted my expectations which always makes it really fun when I actually play the game :)

Could someone give me some tips as to how to solve the wires puzzle? Aka fixing the broken portrait of the mother.

Thank you!

I wish they were my aunt and uncle.

I'm planning to replay this game and figured I'll share this with y'all in the sub. It is rated "mostly positive" due to the fact that some people found the sequencing needed to trigger an event too rigid. As a ND game fan it didn't bother me. I'm sure there are some other complaints, but I thoroughly enjoyed it when I played it 2 years ago!

If anyone has played this before, lemme know ur thoughts!

There is a free game called "Agent A: A puzzle in disguise" this week in the Epic game store. I haven't played it yet, but it looks like a fun little puzzle game with a spy theme that reminds me of Nancy Drew puzzles.

My fiance played some of the games as a kid and would like us to play some together now. Recommendations on which ones to get? Should I get them on steam or GOG or elsewhere?

This may be referring to any puzzle game but in this case, I was thinking about the puzzles from the Nancy Drew games (the last puzzle I overthought may have been the one Corine gives you or that piano puzzle or the students page on the website in Waverly 😅)
