Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand [ENDING]

[@richwalk3954]

If I were Nancy, I'd be a little peeved that Joanna, Henrik, and Alejandro all didn't seem that concerned about an eighteen year old girl NEARLY SUFFOCATING TO DEATH INSIDE A STONE MONOLITH.

[@bookworm598]

Even as an adult today that ending where nancy does die in there and her skeleton isnt found until decades later is absolutely terrifying 😳

[@tiffanyfaye1583]

SAME

[@CelestiaQuinn]

@@bookworm598 WHAT

[@bookworm598]

@@CelestiaQuinn oh I'm guessing you haven't played this lol. Yeah if you don't get out in time you suffocate and then it says something like "700 years in the future" and there's a newspaper article showing two skeletons and says "monolith finally opened and two skeletons found inside, one from ancient Mayan times the other from the 21st century" it's seriously terrifying

[@JamieJohnson-eh4pc]

Dude! Holy shit! I sat down and really thought about this one

[@MareRee_]

As someone who has played every single Nancy Drew game since I was 10, I'm 26 now, it makes me so happy to watch Gab play through these. I own every single game's physical copy from back when they released, and watching Gab has made me start to rebuy their digital forms through steam since my PC no longer has a disc drive. I've been replaying the Deadly Device myself. It's nice to finally watch someone who enjoys the series and all their quirkiness. Keep up the good work and happy sleuthing! :D

[@daniellelarsen9767]

Same! 10 to 26. Nancy Drew has been a big part of growing up

[@bladeofSteele]

Omg me too! I played the secret of Shadow Ranch when I was ten, it was the first one I played, and I'm 26 now!

[@juniper890]

I liked how they all did that dramatic poem at the end.

[@nicolevolpe8655]

I played my first game when I was 10 too, this one was my first!

[@Dameon315Samurai]

Its so sad that they never updated Stay Tuned for Danger to be compatible with today’s systems as far as I know. I LOVE that one.

[@gregputnam7243]

Wow, Mr. Rose thinks that with the glyph translator in the hospital suffering amnesia, the director of the museum in the police department being questioned, and the museum itself has suffered an act of theft and is barely financially stable; he thinks the best idea would be to put the intern in charge, who has been there a day. Regardless of the fact that it is Nancy Drew, an intern is in charge of the museum and curating an exhibit.

[@gregputnam7243]

Update: It all makes sense now

[@Sam-gx2ti]

You're still right though, I'm pretty sure Nancy is like 17 or 18

[@ImperfectNobody]

Fun fact: if you die in the monolith there's a 'bad ending' scene where they open up the monolith years later and find Nancy mummified too!

[@MissManicMuffin]

3 pages of notes! This was quite the note heavy Nancy Drew but this one was so much fun. I think this is on my top list of the Nancy games thus far. I cannot wait for the next spooky one.

[@akimbo4637]

Hi Bri o/

[@bookworm4174]

Scarlet hand is one of my favorites! I love history and museums. What I really appreciate is how the "puzzles" are more true to life, not actual puzzles shoehorned into the scenario, and I like how it feels larger due to obtaining the packages from all over.

[@isawp5199]

Poppy Dada is a reference to the Dada art movement. Which was basically art but IRL shit posts before even home computers. That's why she's so uh, cavalier about slathering an ancient artefact in varnish and slapping it on a painting. I wish they actually referenced the art movement in-game! I still have an alarm clock that sounds like that. It's almost the most torturous part in the Nancy Drew series :( When I played this, I got SO SALTY when Alexandro revealed the Nahuatl word for snake... I already knew that word! It was the second half of "Quetzalcoatl' after all, the famous Feathered Serpent! I just didn't know that was a Nahuatl word! So mad >:C

[@kioshekat7931]

i like how Hendrick told Nancy the whole reason he took the piece was to PREVENT the key from being made, and she's like "I nEeD tO MaKe a kEy"

[@OpossumPartyy]

That ending was so weird. It's like they were all in on it, such a creepy thing to have them do

[@takkamek]

the ending took me by surprise! like i've kinda gotten to used to these old nancy games where they just end abruptly and nancy explains everything in her letters but lmao what was with those three at the end when nancy escapes?? lmaoo ok we almost died and you're here quoting oscar wilde

[@bookworm598]

Haha I burst out laughing reading that. You're right it's such a weird and dramatic ending

[@adriannasteger5158]

So, instead of trying to help a teenaged girl escape a stone coffin that she was about to suffocate in, they instead stayed outside and practiced that speech for if Nancy escaped. WHAT IF NANCY DID NOT ESCAPE? They would've just said, "Oh. Bummer. She died. WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD'VE DONE TO SAVE HER."

[@itzjusme]

Nobody that she works for deserves Nancy.

[@kerpieski9640]

The nostalgia I get from Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake oh man, I'm so happy she's playing them!!! My literal childhood! Thank you Gab!

[@snorpenbass4196]

In my headcanon, Poppy Dada got six months for vandalizing a cultural artefact and was extradited to Mexico. Seriously, I'm an artist and you just don't *do* that shit. Especially against the cultural artefacts of cultures destroyed by people like the conquistadors. It'd be like me walking into the Louvre, grabbing the Mona Lisa and doodling wacky emojis all over it.

[@chiquitaspirit]

Right?? I had to pause the video and walk away for awhile when I heard her admit to that.

[@rae5918]

This game has the best in-game music I've heard in a while! Love watching you play the games I used to play as a kid. So fun!!

[@Epic_Gamer_9000]

Gabs, I just want to let you know that your point and click adventures and hidden object games are the perfect content to always keep on in the background after watching the first time. Thank you!!

[@91Rapunzel]

This walk-through was so funny! I had to laugh because every character in this game is so strange, you kept finding them suspicious and maybe not who they said they were, but nope, they were just weird! Lol

[@riccimann4149]

I love that you are playing these Nancy Drew games. Thank you for bringing the joy of Nancy Drew games to others through your videos. Also, I don’t know if this has been stated yet, but in Latin Semper Ubi Sub Ubi means “Always Wear Underwear”

[@bladeofSteele]

Well, technically it means Always where under where, but it sounds funny enough 😄

[@too_tired_for_this]

Nancy drew games make me so happy! Thank you!

[@winterprism9227]

Anyone else notice the notation in the article about the art dealer at the end as being "aka Big Bunny"

[@metroskyes5974]

The ghost dogs one gave me nightmares when I was younger. I had too much anxiety I almost didn't finish it

[@alexcheshire8845]

When the old lady mentioned the Dada paintings and you said she sounded fake, I immediately thought of Taylor. That can't be a coincidence

[@katjosephperez8772]

For some reason, this particular game ending really reminded me that so many grown ass adults have tried to murder 18-year-old amateur detective Nancy over money, even when they aren’t desperate. The ones who knock her out are less terrifying and terrible than the ones who want her to suffocate or starve to death.

[@m.thompson3919]

I'm so happy that there are so many more Nancy Drew Games. 😍 They are so fun to watch, and so educational!

[@sophiemaria2292]

For future reference X in Spanish is usually pronounced as an H would be in English! Makes pronouncing the gods names in the game quite a bit easier lol

[@celestiacrystal9317]

Right? And she played Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she should remember how to pronounce Ix Chel

[@sharondornhoff7563]

In Mesoamerican words that were rendered into European letters by Spanish translators, "X" is usually a place-holder for "SH": a sound that doesn't occur in Spanish, so they used that language's "H"-sound as a substitute.

[@meganoverby4321]

I’ve been rewatching all of your other Nancy drew play throughs so I’m glad we get new drew content!

[@mjoberg6695]

Such a nostalgic game! Thank you for playing the old ones. I remember learning a lot from this one but mostly "river of pus" and "she emerges like a mermaid from the sea" ingrained into my brain. Love you!

[@timeisaweirdsoup]

I can never get enough of Gab playing Nancy Drew games!

[@riahtrinity1168]

YAY for Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, it’s one of my favorites! It has an.... interesting script at times... I’m curious to see what you think. :)

[@dothedo3667]

Ahhhhhhh!!! GHOST DOGS GHOST DOGS GHOST DOGS! I can't wait, I desperately hope she starts playing it soon. So many memories from Games Day at afterschool daycare. I was always to afraid to make mistakes so I always skipped my turn to control it, but I LOVED watching our staff woman play it. Thank you, Kathy, for introducing Nancy Drew games and books into our lives.

[@KillerQueenKim]

Can't wait to see you play Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake! x

[@keldsyeahh]

I’ve had a really awful week full of bad news, but when I saw that your secret of the scarlet hand play through was up it really lifted my spirits 🥺 I almost cried at the end when you listed all the ones you have yet to play lmao. This has always been one of my all time favourites! Can’t wait for you to play sea of darkness ❤️ thanks Gab!!!

[@elizabethfoster4297]

I absolutely love these games! Brings back such wonderful childhood nostalgia. And the Ghost Dogs is one of my favorites!

[@theatb89]

These games were my childhood. So nostalgic and fun to see played as an adult! 32 now and still enjoy! ❤️ keep up the fun Gab!

[@agnescolmana7916]

i am so glad you are playing these games. I miss them and can't get them to play on my pc. The scarlet hand was a tough game and scary to me. You played it top notch!! Good job Gabs!!!

[@Mechajared]

These Nancy Drew games are always fun, thank you for playing these.

[@sarahbeebe]

I can never decide which recurring character I love most in these games-- Professor Hotchkiss, Sonny Joon, Prudence Rutherford. But all the talking about Prudence's voice has tipped the scales in her favor.

[@Akinia]

I loved this. This music was hitting!! Love watching Gab play Nancy games ^^. I didn't even know there were games.

[@moppetmaker]

Thank god you didn't let her suffocate. The Game Over ending of this game creeped the fuck out of me as a kid. I remember it was a picture of a news headline from hundreds of years in the future about the baffling discovery of a 21st century mummy along with the ancient Mayan mummy in the Monolith. It had a full on picture of Nancy's corpse too. I think it might be the only time we see her full face in these games. Lmao.

[@sarahbeebe]

Ooh, heading into the shorter games. I remember 'Moon Dogs' and Deception Island and Haunted Carousel and the like felt soooo much shorter than the previous ones, big updates in how they designed the elements of the game. I'm excited to see Gab's reaction to them.

[@samanthamarkham3934]

Ghost dogs was the first Nancy Drew game I tried to play as a kid and it scared me so bad I couldn’t play it lol. My best friend at the time made fun of me so hard. Love the Nancy Drew content and all the fun puzzles you do

[@makinoi]

i have been LOVING your nancy drew game series. I grew up on these games and sometimes played them as they came out! This has been a trip down memory lane as well as reliving the spooky mysteries

[@nocturnalizzie]

If you'd asked Prudence if she was having trouble with her cat or dog, she would've had a little bit more to say. She was actually talking to her husband there... for some reason. One of the big stone carvings in the garden says it's on loan from the Wickford estate. If you have the money to buy a tower that has Marie Antoinette's diary and diamond in it, I guess a Mayan art piece wouldn't be all that expensive of a thing, eh? Someone in chat pointed out that Mr. Daddle sounds a lot like Ned (and Charlie the handyman) and it *is* the same voice actor! And it turns out that Henrik's voice is also the guy who played Brady Armstrong. Weird! It was only a brief moment, but Poppy mentioned that Taylor is the "Big Bunny" that Henrik wrote about in the old journal entries you found. I don't think I caught that when I was a kid. The Diego de Landa name was on the shipping/receiving clipboard thing - a jade thing he discovered was being stored back there. That's the box Joanna gave you the code for. It (obviously) isn't something Nancy has to realize, but if you do click on the clipboard after seeing Henrik's notes, Nancy will mention wanting to get into that box. Anyway, it was a lot of fun watching this! Super happy you've been enjoying these games. :D

[@riahtrinity1168]

I love that you enjoy these games! These were definitely a big part of my video game childhood, so it brings some much loved nostalgia when you upload these. Great memories with my sisters (I used to be THE note taker lol.) ALSO, you are a freaking genius when it comes to these puzzles! Excited for more Nancy in the future. ❤️

[@bladeofSteele]

That's so wholesome 💘

[@ahhhanime10]

Also the next one you play, if you stay in sequence, is one of my all time favs!! Im so excited!!!

[@sydneymarshall3204]

785 is really Topeka’s area code lol. I loved this game. “Put Topeka on the map” so to speak haha!

[@amandarichards8447]

It’s so cool to watch you play these games I’m so fond of. I used to play these back when I was ten years old and remembered it being really difficult and spooky. I’m glad to see another person enjoying them as much as I do 😁

[@stacyheartline]

These games are so genuinely fun to watch! I I never played them as a kid but I read some of the books

[@TheRegulator87]

Gab, don't forget about about the two Nancy Drew hidden object games. I don't know much about them, but they may be worth checking out.

[@lilivic]

This latest Nancy Drew game playthrough is JUST what I needed. I've been having a really rough time lately, and these help me a lot! I was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since the last Nanch Drew game, too! Thank you so much for playing these games 💜

[@kanumbra]

This was such a good one!! So many awesome puzzles. Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake is my all time favourite Nancy Drew game as well, it scared the bejeebus out of me as a kid. I am sooooo excited for you to play it!!

[@bookworm598]

I am so so excited that you're doing these games! I grew up playing them with my grandma but since she died it has been very lonely playing these. I love being able to feel like I'm playing them with this whole community ❤

[@gregputnam7243]

I am not gonna lie, with that thumbnail, I thought this was going to be for The Room 3. Especially with the "What is IN THERE?" title but Nancy Drew is still just as good.

[@Tina_95]

I'm so stoked for the next 4 Nancy Drew games they're some of my favorites!

[@TwoTailedCaperer]

I knew I recognized the voice of Nancy Drew here so I had to look it up to confirm. That's Lani Minella, the voice of Rouge in Sonic Adventure 2, Bubsy in Bubsy 3D and Gloria Ashmann in Remothered: Tormented Fathers.

[@amberpeterson7104]

She was also Luke Triton from the Professor Layton games!

[@Anodreth]

And Jarl Balgruuf’s housecarl Irileth / one of the bounty hunter followers-for-hire in the hunting inn by the entrance to Whiterun / the Priestess of Azura that gives you the broken Star of Azura in Skyrim, plus the voice of the Sea Emperor in Subnautica

[@MavraTealSun]

Nancy Drew has to be the longest running game series! I mean there is over 10 games in its arsenal. Crazy!

[@Lladyk95]

I can’t wait for you to play stay tuned for danger, secret of the old clock and phantom of Venice. My personal favorites 😌

[@ImperfectNobody]

I'm so excited to watch you play all of these! I've played them all so many times when I was a kid that I know pretty much everything that happens so it's not as fun replaying them myself anymore. It's fun to watch someone else experience them for the first time! The next game is considered one of the best! (But I also can't wait for Shadow Ranch).

[@Jay-fj2lh]

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake was my first Nancy Drew game! It's a great one. :) Can't wait for the playthrough!

[@devanshupandey3958]

This was so fun to watch. Looking forward to the next one!

[@kidindacardboardmask]

Ive waited 20 years to see the ending of this game! I could never figure out the piece on the artwork!

[@christinamock3345]

I'm pretty sure Mr. Daddle is the same voice actor for Ned and that's why Ned isn't a person you can call in this game.

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

Scarlet Hand was my very first game, and it’s one of my favorites. I’m glad you enjoyed it! (I hope you keep the stuff on Sonny Joon on hand. His name will return!)

[@Tomato.toothpaste]

I always wondered why the police didn't just compare the obvious fingerprints on any known suspects...

[@capalluisce]

So many Nancy games, and I'm willing to watch all your playthroughs of them lol

[@Anodreth]

I’m pretty sure that the ‘semper ubi sub ubi’ that’s Joanna’s tagline is a Latin pun xD it literally translates to “always where under where,” or “Always wear underwear!”

[@Otakuadri98]

I enjoy watching you play these so much! It’s my favorite game series I’ve ever watched anyone play. Id love to watch you play through all of them 😊 I wish I’d known these existed as a kid! I loved the books so I know I would have loved the games too

[@hannahreed9659]

I think you will love ghost dogs, it was one of my first nancy drew games i played!!! SPOOKKYYY VIBESS 100% :) I cannot wait to watch you play more, seeing you play my childhood games is amazing

[@adam49ish]

"if you were a keyhole, what would you need?" is so great

[@MiniM0usee]

I didn't trust that mustache the moment I set eyes on it.

[@WolfieIsTheOne]

Kind of sad because this was my last video to catch up on ;-; I started with ghost dogs. And whenever I would catch up the current gameplays I'd go to watch the older videos before ghost dogs. Now I'm all caught up D: this one was a goodie though!

[@Maninawig]

Started this series with Ghost Dogs and now made a full circle... Which is kinda sad... But I did want to say that the editing of these videos were awesome and I would love to see more.

[@icefox94]

keep the nancy drew games coming! this series and shin hayarigami 2 are my favs!

[@shawnabasallo7515]

Okay but Prudence Rutherford being actually a drag queen is everything 😆 she is a phone contact is a few games and I will never not think this

[@JustSaralius]

So glad we still have many more to go! Love this! :D

[@benvining2396]

I appreciate that the devs included the character of Alejandro, but I just need to point out that Mexico is also a settler-colonial nation. When Alejandro says things like "that artefact was lost to me as soon as it left Mexican soil", it seems like he's more concerned with Mexican nationalism than he is with Indigenous ownership of these artefacts -- which is, sadly, a realistic portrayal of some Mexican people, but I do wish that there was a bit more nuance in this game's discussion of the ownership of these artefacts. Boiling it down to "if it's in the US, it's stolen, if it's in Mexico, it's not" ignores the ways that Mexico has also disenfranchised and stolen from Indigenous peoples.

[@dubiousdeliquite6641]

Unfortunately with how these types of games go even the more nuanced and representative characters need to have a bit of sliminess to them for the sake of keeping them on the player’s suspect list

[@bhscheerleader2010]

Not Gab accusing everyone of not being who they say they are 😆

[@ThruHerEyez]

Can't wait for the next one! Ready for the spooks

Okay. Now I know where semper ubi sububi comes from. xD

Nancy Drew wouldn’t be my typical game to watch being played, oh but when I’m hungover it’s such nice easy watching and they’re long too so I can just leave it playing ☺️

[@math_plant]

I am glad there are so many cause I love your gameplays!

[@sharondornhoff7563]

1:37:10 - The unstated implication is that Sinclair's eaten so many of his terrible, stale cookies that he's come down with ... a bathroom issue. 😉

When you have played to much Shadow of the Tomb Raider and know a lot of the answers.

[@Tazerboy_10]

I need to continue watching part 1, if is more of the Mayan temple museum... 28:30 - 29:10 ---> Do you mean Mary Berry or Prue Leith? 41:38 - 41:XX ---> AKA - A stock audio file (Like an open source sound/audio file that's probably used in other games or other media...) > Some games probably pull form the same sound archive...

[@delaneydias2032]

You should play more Nancy Drew games and make it a series having them all in on folder with your play through . I enjoy all of them but they are hard to find on your channel.

Prudence is meant to sound like Julia Child. She's a famous chef in America.
