[@swordguy2001]

I played this game a lot when i was younger and i tried to see how many spoonfulls of sugar i could put in, I don't remember exactly how many it was but it was far too much

[@kittymagica6408]

That's a good way to sum up Southern sweet tea, TBH 😂 . I tend to describe it as sugar with a pinch of tea.

[@pucamisc]

Reminded me of that scene from Criminal Minds where Reid puts way too much sugar in his coffee 😂

[@dawsonflynn5781]

Sounds like my Cousin's tea.

[@flowrighttwins]

YES!!! If you play anymore Nancy Drew games, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Curse of Blackmore Manor! It terrified me as a child and is still one of my top computer games.

[@autumnsunflower9286]

Yes! Curse of Blackmoore Manor is my favorite. Also the Deadly Device is really good.

same goes for me i try to play them on steam when they are free cuz they are way to much at stores

[@nyssal3569]

Nancy Drew was my favorite series when I was a kid.

i was thinking the same thing, i loved all the Nancy drew games growing up and my friends never know what I’m talking about 😂😭 they’re missing out. although i struggle to play with the new nancy voice, just doesn’t feel right lmao

[@jesusrockmyworld]

[@amysaysdance4872]

Ok, I just started watching this channel yesterday and because of this I am 100% all in. Not only has she played ND games in the past, but actually gets invested and enjoys them and remembers connections from previous games! Every time I see someone playing an ND game on here, they usually poke fun at it and never finish. These games are so good though and they were a huge part of my life growing up. I’m even replaying a few of them with my son now, he loves them! My favorite thing about Christmas or my birthdays as a kid was getting a new Nancy Drew game, they were and always will be my jam. So glad I found this channel. You’re a delight and have really awesome play throughs from what I’ve watched so far!

[@folkcallmelore2787]

I have been playing Nancy Drew games since I was eight years old. The fact that I finally get to binge watch you playing Nancy Drew during the stress of finals is the best thing ever. Thank you for paying these! P.S. The girl crush on Savannah when you copy her accent is adorable. You honestly made my day.

[@sovashchetty4838]

I genuinely love these playthroughs, I've been using the Hidden Object Games as a sort of Lofi playlist while I study.

[@TessaxMusic95]

Whenever Nancy talks to Savannah, Gab’s girl crush intensifies 🤣

[@dorryfrost3915]

As an old fogey who read the original Nancy Drew books as a teen , is loving all these games. Thank you for your time and hard work 📖⌨️

[@katarutabaga]

I can’t believe the voice actress for Nancy is Gloria/The Red Nun from Remothered and the Sea Emperor from Subnautica

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

She’s doing online homework voicing for schools now. One of the ND Facebook groups I’m in has multiple people posting vids from either different apps or the same one and we all recognize her voice. Well, almost all of us. Lol. For me, it just takes one to two sentences and I can spot her.

[@R.Williams]

I think I like her better in those games...in these she sounds like she's reading her lines while the other characters speak very naturally. Maybe I'm imagining it...

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

@@R.Williams you’re not. I’ve been noticing it too.

[@user-ms9hb3si3b]

OH MY GOD THAT'S WHY THE SEA EMPEROR SOUNDED SO FAMILIAR 😂😂

[@hilarycanning3321]

She was also in lots of other popular things like borderlands, god of war, bendy and the ink machine, mass effect 3, Lucius, the last of us, mortal kombat, the elder scrolls, amnesia: the dark descent and plenty others. Not to mention she is 71 years old!!!!

[@williamkailantrophy7879]

I loved that you're giving more Nancy Drew games a chance. Just putting it out there, I think you'd like The Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, and also The Haunting of Castle Malloy. Two of my favourite scary ones from Nancy Drew. If you're looking for more fun, I suggest Danger By Design, or The Phantom of Venice.

[@rianandra6127]

Ghost dogs gave me nightmare. Isolated and howled at are a great combo.

[@mariahramsey9211]

Those are very good choices.

[@roseiguess6167]

Love love LOVE Castle Malloy, it’s always been one of my favorites along with Shadow Ranch 🤣

[@nerdylilpumpkin]

Agh, Castle Malloy and Ghost Dogs (that one was my first game) scared the sh*t out of me. I thought I was being “rebellious” because I was under the recommended age group 😂 Also the puzzles at the Castle were certainly weird! 😂

[@brittg2188]

and Message in a Haunted Mansion!! It's pretty short and might not work on many computers nowadays, but used to really freak me out.

[@anunimus_2706]

Yeah, the American history part is true. I was legit having 8th grade history class flashbacks while you were reading that part lmao

[@fairsuns]

YOUR SAVANNAH IMPRESSION KILLED ME LMAOO. gab, ty for playing this game a lot of us suggested this one so thanks for giving ND games a chance. the next games i would recommend would be treasure in the royal tower, curse at blackmoor manor and warnings at waverly academy - just because it has fun petty rich boarding school girl drama 🥴

[@preciousonejewel]

if you like savannah's character, you'd love the character named Prudence Rutherford.... shes in a few of the older games one of them is the phantom of venice, another is the secret of the scarlet hand

[@riann7707]

Some of my favorite Nancy Drew games that I recommend she plays after this one Captive Curse Warnings at Waverly Academy (one of my faves) Silent Spy Haunting of Castle Malloy (another fav, I find it a lot spookier than Thornton hall tbh) Legend of the Crystal Skull Sea of Darkness Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon ( very very old but I love the setting and the characters are really fun! )

[@rianandra6127]

Aaaah waverly academy is great too.

[@Jcat_Nguy23]

I agree with all of those but one thing ill say is I personally believe that though going in order is unneeded, certain games should be played after others. Silent Spy is one of those so she gets a full experience in Nancy's mother

[@riann7707]

@@Jcat_Nguy23 Yeah that’s true. I didn’t put these really in any order, I just thought of some as I was typing this.

[@Jcat_Nguy23]

[@preciousonejewel]

Labyrinth of lies was cool too

[@thewritingfreak6569]

I've just started going through your Nancy playlist and I know you've commented on this several times Gab, but I want to reiterate that the writing in these games is AMAZING. When Savannah is telling the story about the willow tree??? God, it's so well written and the voice actress nailed the delivery. Thank you so much for introducing me to these games!

[@tinybullfrog1955]

Harper is honestly my fave - so dryly funny. Need to remember the phrase "good, sweet nonsense, no" for daily use

[@draconicfeline6177]

She only asked for one thing "Don't give up my secret!" not even ten minutes later... 'YEAH SHES UNDER THE HOUSE."

[@azadalamiq]

so the front of the place looked familiar... and this why: was inspiration of the walk up and front of entry to the home Oak Alley Plantation - The exterior of Thornton Hall and the live oak alley that leads up to the house are directly inspired by Oak Alley Plantation, a historic plantation located in St. James Parish, Louisiana on the west bank of the Mississippi River. I live by this and have been there a few times. nice place, great food. its an inn and house tour now. staying at the inn lets you walk the grounds, house tour are run by another company/person

[@Melonade66]

I thought it looked familiar! I went to Oak Alley on a field trip once!

[@UnlimitedPocky123]

HER just released something on their blog about real life places that the game environments were based off of. Oak Alley Plantation was indeed the basis for Thornton Hall.

[@scoobygirl4525]

That's so cool!

[@tracys169]

Yes, the history shared is real, Eli Whitney...Rose Greenhow, Harriet Tubman, Belle Boyd, Elizabeth Van Lew, etc. I was just reading about Eli Whitney a couple of weeks ago actually lol.

[@MizguidedGhost]

Now I see how weird & excited Gab & Sean felt when playing the Irish or Japan games. The references & content in these games is truly amazing how accurate they are (from Richmond, VA)

[@dann1368]

I find it so adorable that gab actually wrote down the clues huhuhu I appreciate her effort! this is how Nancy drew should be played!

[@leia3772]

Historian here! Female spys were extremely important in not only the American Civil War but several throughout history. A woman coming from a rich white family were little much more than property at this time. Because of this underestimating women, especially women of color, led to them being overlooked constantly. Men (and rich women) were quick to converse around women, especially staff, slaves and prostitutes. That you for coming to my Ted Talk on American History.

[@monicamarotto6337]

You always make me feel better about being in my 20s and still wanting to play all the ND games and for genuinely enjoying them. Thank you for that!!

[@preciousonejewel]

I'm almost 36 and still play them haha

[@happinesss2]

Oh there's a whole community of us "older folks" who love ND games and we are only getting older bc honestly these games started wayyyy back in the day and we have followed them since childhood haha nothing wrong with that!

[@TheWickedlu]

Didnt realize "momma" was a weird word until Gabby repeated it as if it wasn't normal lmao. I've always called my mom "Momma". Lol

[@githane]

I think it's just normal for Americans and Brits. Since she's neither, she may be pretty unfamiliar. It's somewhat of a colloquialism.

As someone who had no idea who nancy drew was two weeks ago and who never really enjoyed these types of games, I really didn't expect to enjoy your playthroughs of the ND games as much as I do! This is so relaxing to watch, and I'm just having a blast honestly. I'm really glad you are playing those games because you love them, and definitely hope to see more of them in the future. Take care

We went from Shadows at the Water's Edge to this one too, so seeing Savannah again was unexpected and exciting. Also the graphical upgrade!! Phew! Impressive from 2010 to 2013, I think. Hope you enjoy this one! We have been loving it. I'll be watching your playthrough once we finish ours! 🥰

[@R.Williams]

The bags hanging from the ceiling in the cotton factory at the beginning remind me of the tall bags for wool that were almost a story tall that we'd hang from the floor of the hayloft of our barn to extend through the floor to the level below. My Dad would pitch in wool fleeces and my sister and I would jump on each one coming down to pack it as tightly as we could. When it would get pretty full, my Dad would jump in the bag because he was heavier and we would throw in the wool. That surely is a memory from long ago! Plus I actually read all the Nancy Drew's and Hardy Boys from the library!

[@SaucySprout]

I love watching you play Nancy Drew! I enjoyed reading the books as a child and now I get to see one of my favorite youthbers play the games! You're energy is so calm and peaceful, I rewatch these often when I have autism melt downs. It helps me center and focus on something else for a bit.
