Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy

[@alexiatrott2714]

For those who don’t know: Edgar Allen Poe actually wrote the first detective stories: Rue Morgue, Purloined Letter, Marie Roget (Dupin is the detective, and the short stories are famous as precursors for Sherlock Holmes because of dupin’s logical deduction in the stories). Very fitting that Poe would be featured in a Nancy drew game!

[@megarakadmea]

Sherlock Holmes even name drops Dupin. He has to admit they are similar in canon. That crossover really thrilled me.

[@broadwayace]

Mel is an absolute LEGEND. good for her! But the whole time i couldnt stop thinking that she looked like draculara from monster high XD

[@RaeEwe]

So THAT'S who I was thinking of!!

[@GurtIsAwesome]

I loved Sean's reaction to the Nancy game because he hasn't played a bunch of them. He hasn't been acclimated to some of Nancy bs so he's like "WAIt WHAT?!" 🤣

[@folkcallmelore]

Poor Sean... He just had to play the one game that had the most insane plot and worst puzzles. I still get an eye twitch evetime I look at a periodic table. Even still I love how invested he was at the end at wanting to see the trailer for the next game. I expected him to bolt through that door the moment it ended before Nancy had the chance to find herself a new mystery.

[@KelcieNicole]

I’m so sad she missed the whole subplot about Leela stealing Izzy’s boyfriend! I lived for the teenage drama! That was always one of my favorite parts along with the twin reveal (which someone spoiled early, intentional or not) 😢

[@sagedelt]

Ok I’m glad I found this comment because I was looking for that part thinking I missed it! But I guess it just didn’t happen? 😢 dang!

[@RachelEinTheRain]

I noticed that too, it's so weird that she didn't get that subplot.... she also didn't get the one at the end when Izzy gets a second Black Cat note and her laptop's hard drive gets erased. 😢

[@racheltorres668]

Omg same! I cannot believe: 1) She completely bypassed that story line? 2) somebody would just drop a major spoiler like that😠

[@feuilletoniste]

Do you think it was a deliberate spoiler, or just a lucky guess? Because I’ve never played this game or heard anything about it, but when someone said that Rachel seemed to change personality abruptly and not remember things she said to you, I instantly thought “they’re twins!”

[@quinncy.]

@KelcieNicole yes omg i feel like whoever said the twins thing in chat, knew about it and lowkey spoiled the whole thing

[@benvining2396]

I haven't played this game in years, and I was honestly really impressed with how accurate Mel's cello practicing sounds. It repeats, but the way she tunes, or will play an out of tune note then stop and play an open string... really takes me back to my days of practicing cello. I also recognized several movements of the Bach cello suites!

[@lovetobecolouring2]

oh yes, that is one of my favourite things about this game. LOVE the cello..... (and Bach)

[@erilauer9825]

Hi! Sorry, heavy Edgar Allan Poe fan here. You are right about his history. For the most part Poe only became widely know in his day because of the Raven. That poem made him a household name and got him into parties. His previous works may has started to gain popular and attention when he did, but he quickly fell out of public favor due to his drinking and the rumor that Poe was having an affair with Frances Sargent Osgood, I don't know if it is true the two were having an affair but Poe and Osgood did exchange poems and Poe even hid Osgood's name is hidden in his poem "A Valentine." It wasn't until after his death, like you said, that his work became so renowned and loved as it is today, and mainly credited Rufus Griswold, one of Poe's greatest literary rivals and who wrote an obituary for Poe filled with lies that depicted Poe out to be nothing more than a lunatic and a drunk who would wander the street either in madness or melancholy. However this villainous characterization of Poe by Griswold made so many curious to read the writings of such an "evil" man and help cement Poe's place in literary history. Thank you, sorry for the info dump.

[@buzzinbea]

Honestly if two people managed to pretend to be one person from grade 9 to grade 12 - they deserve to graduate. There's so many logistical questions about that. First and foremost: The attic room to hide one of the twins is only accessible to them because they're valedictorian candidates in their senior year - how did they hide one or the other before that? How did they hide when they first got to the school or when they leave the school for breaks? Did one stuff herself in a bag? Whatever they did, that's Harvard level thinking in my book. 🤣

[@fadalerabrasool3563]

To me what rachel and kim did as they themselves had said wasn't directly hurting anybody and they were OK with making rachel look like an absent minded freak.

[@Superfoxtrot14]

How you play these games is everything. You take it seriously when it matters but still pokes fun at the silly or outdated parts. If Sean wants to join for another one that would be cool too but you are so fun to watch play either way.

[@mybrianthelion]

[@nocturnalizzie]

Twitch didn't notify me when this happened because my phone had apparently decided the app deserved to go into "deep sleep" but I swear I'll catch a Nancy stream again someday! Ugh. Anyway... - Nancy seems to have brought the sheep doll home from Ireland. She did help make it, after all. - I dislike Mel's cello music so much that when I play this, I turn the music off or way down any time I'm in that area. My college dorm had designated "practice rooms" people were supposed to use for their instruments, thankfully. - The picture of Bess and George that Nancy packed was taken on the island in Ransom of the Seven Ships, the discontinued game #20. - Mr. Mingles the dog is a reference to Resorting to Danger, one of the two games in the spinoff Dossier series. Those games are a very different style from the main series but still pretty fun. There's also a mention of Jasmine Ivy, another Dossier game character. - I think Mel is voiced by the same person who played Hilda the eccentric phone lady in Deception Island and Emily the phone friend in Message in a Haunted Mansion. - Mel has a goth version of one of Camille's creepy dolls from Last Train and a poster of Creepie's Corner from Old Clock (and a sticker version of that on her cello case). - That art piece in the rec room sure looks like a Poppy Dada. I wonder if there are any ancient jade carvings or stale cookies in there... - There's an Easter egg you can get by searching the library catalogue for a book shown in Resorting to Danger. A book in that game has a suspiciously large ISBN on it and looking up that number gets you the egg! - I love the intense eyeliner going on in the character designs for this game. Seems accurate, lol. - Nancy's phone battery slowly dies until conveniently giving out at the end of the game. Apparently, Nancy is a maniac who doesn't ever charge her phone. - Rachel has a plush bear and elephant on her desk that were shown in Secret of the Old Clock. She could probably sell those for tuition money if they're antiques.. - The snack shop dialogue can be really funny. And I'm pretty sure the sandwich/bagel orders are randomized because sometimes they're completely unhinged. You want three pieces of lettuce between slices of toasted bread? Ma'am, are you well? - Megan can afford this fancy AF school and has one of the most common food allergies but she *doesn't* carry an epi-pen?? - When I replayed this recently, I didn't have that scream happen during the first night. Weird! - As you beat Leela at air hockey, you unlock a purple mallet and then a green one. I think those might impact the difficulty? Or maybe I just got worse when I used the green one, haha. And you can get an *extra* mallet if you hold an Easter egg when you click on Leela to play. That mallet is a cute pastel eggy design. - It seems like the teachers swarm the snack shop if the game thinks you need help earning back credits. There are other ways to earn them but the snack shop is the easiest. (The other most reliable way is by getting the high score on the matching game on the school website... for some reason. Sure, incentivize the students to waste their time with a matching game. That seems like a good plan.) - The pictures of people are so obnoxious to get right. I usually spam pictures with different zooms and pans and upload a few of the same person at a time to save myself from having to go back and forth until Rachel is satisfied. -_- - The article Mel gives you mentions Evelyn Corbalis, her ancestor, and Elinor Penvellyn from Blackmoor Manor. - The girl at the snack shop who complained about the burgundy uniforms... There's a backstory to that! The website for Her Interactive was a deep teal color for many years. The site had recently switched to burgundy and it made a lot of fans (myself included) a bit sad. - The dining book is by Demetria Espoonzia. Heh. - Being able to record Casper's jumps with your ~camera cell phone~ makes that *so* much easier. Doing that puzzle in the days before camera phones was a nightmare. And that's the only puzzle that changes between junior and senior modes! - If you walk around at night, you'll sometimes have to dodge the patrolling RA. I think Paige only really shows up in the hall where the bedrooms are, but I'm too much of a chicken to have done much nighttime exploration so maybe downstairs isn't safe. - "We want less tree and more United States" sounds like the Republicans who think trying to take care of the environment is hippie nonsense. :P - [spoiler!] If you tell the twin that you think she's Rachel, she asks how you knew that. Nancy then explains the floppy bangs thing they do differently. But, yeah, I also thought that was Kim and I was paying attention to the bangs specifically because I knew that was coming up. Maybe the devs goofed that? - The Izzy password thing is because Izzy has a freak out about her big essay disappearing. That didn't happen for you, but it's implied that Corine erased Izzy's essay right before it was due. (I think you might've had an unread text about Izzy's predicament.) - There was supposed to be a text at some point about Izzy and Leela having beef over Jacob. I think Jacob was going to the upcoming dance with Izzy even though he was Leela's boyfriend or something like that. So which girl convinced/used him to frame Mel? Hmm.. - Once you've opened the furnace, Nancy's task list updates and includes some premonitions about things she's going to have to do. It's always fun to check on the journal and task list towards the end of the games to see stuff like that happen. - The pictures that show during the credits are whatever ones were on your phone, and I'm pretty sure that's just how that goes from this game forward. I usually forget to take silly pictures and end up looking at a slideshow of books Nancy doesn't take with her. Looking forward to chasing tornados in Oklahoma! Get ready for another appearance of Nancy "Hey Tell Me About Your Dead Loved Ones" Drew, lol.

[@bookworm598]

There were several things you listed that even as a long time nancy drew fan i didn't catch so thank you! Especially the girl complaining about the uniforms being burgundy not teal and the change in colors for Her Interactive!! I agree that the teal was so much better but maybe that's just the nostalgia talking. The squirrel jumping puzzle is sooo much easier now that I have a smart phone, I always had to cheat on that one before. I also never realized that sometimes you have to hide from Paige at night time until i watched other people stream the game. I think maybe I just always do the night time stuff really quickly, but I've never had that happen in all the times I've played the game. Same with the random girl screaming at night, was there ever any explanation for that?? Another fun thing i only recently discovered is that you can unscrew the flag next to the special collections cabinet in the library and it will swing down and crash into the glass and break it. And of course get demerits for it. One thing that I always found really silly was how according to Mel students weren't supposed to know about Papertrail, yet it's a link on the school website? Can't wait for insensitive Nancy to ask Pa about his dead wife next game 😂

[@maddieb.4282]

To be fair, some allergies are so bad that an epi pen doesn’t work or it only holds you off long enough to go to the hospital. You should always go straight to the hospital after having to use your epi pen btw, just to get checked over and to make sure you’re truly okay in case something flares back up

[@jackpfefferkorn3734]

The games haven't been based on books in a long time. After the first dozen or so games, they moved to original stories. For game 34, the question I have is whether it will be using Unity in the same way as Midnight in Salem or a different engine. I know I would prefer it if they went back to pre-rendered 3d scenes like all the other games.

[@hannahtorres7265]

Hey Gab! Frequent watcher here, but I want to take this chance to - like many other Gab fans before me - share the impact *specifically* of your Nancy Drew series on my life in a Nancy Drew video. I always have an ongoing rewatch of your Nancy Drew playlist, each full rewatch lasting a month or two (or three). They give a sort of comfort that I can't explain (I've never played these as a kid so it isn't nostalgia). My absolute favorites are Secrets of Shadow Ranch, Danger By Design, and The Final Scene. I graduated from university last December and started working the next month. My last semester in university was difficult, to the point that I found myself avoiding a pain-in-the-ass project and having no progress for 3 days, but I knew exactly what to do. Because I knew I loved your Nancy Drew series so much, I held it hostage - that is, I can only watch Nancy Drew videos WHILE actively working on the project that I was avoiding. Eventually I got into the groove. Three days later, I was done. It took me from Secret of Shadow Ranch to Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon to finish it. I used the same strategy when writing my thesis paper. Got pretty good grades on both, and I credit you and Nancy for pushing me through it. And here I am now, with an engineering degree, and free from schoolwork. I've been wanting to become the type of person who reads books and takes notes when reading. One of the things I worked into my reading list is the Nancy Drew Mysteries series, since you've made me love the games so much! I gotta say, consuming the games is more fun for me, but the books are charming enough for me to want to keep going through them. I just finished the third book and I quite liked it (though the second book felt a wee bit tedious). Also, the Secret of the Old Clock game is based on the first 4 books, so it was pretty fun for me to recognize stuff and remember how they chose to integrate those in the game. And since I rarely comment, I'd just like to say keep up the good work! Almost at a million subs. I think I subbed when you were at either 300k or 500k? Really happy whenever you upload - I really like your taste in games lol. And I highly value your HOG playthroughs, the Japanese culture insights, the multilingual-ness, the cat-loving (and dedicated BB cam!), the chillness even during horror games, choosing to immerse yourself in the stories, etc. And, admittedly, I'm really happy there's a cool girl gamer out there that I can enjoy watching. (Sorry I don't have a comment about the actual video - I haven't watched it yet. But I will tonight!)

it looks like the person just took a guess and just turn out to be right, even back when this game came out the idea of secret twins has been a twist in media so many times that its not that surprising. Even when I played this game back when I was a teen while I didn't guess it, I wasn't surprise that that was the reveal. Really it not that of an amazing twist.

[@RunegoreOwO]

I doubt someone spoiled intentionally, as literally the whole evil twin thing is SUCH a common trope that its even made funny of in other medias now.

yeah people made guesses and they were right. the real spoilers were the people who saw those comments and were like OMG SPOILERS, pretty much confirming their theory was correct ahahaha

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

doesn't look like it was an intentional spoiler, rather people guessed it based on how the two deal with hair falling into their face (kim being the only one who repeatedly brushes it behind her ear, rachel lets it hang) and how they speak to other characters secret twins are kind of an overused trope so I'm not surprised it sprang to mind of the viewers immediately, seemed way too obvious

[@XLightChanX]

​@@lazyperfectionist3978 yeah but someone came up with the 'twin theory' when the other girl said about her that she's shizo(phrenic) bc she doesn't remember what she said the day before etc., so someone commented twins before we even saw the second twin lol, maybe was a lucky guess but jumping from 'she acts strange' to secret twin immediatley seems more like a spoiler imo

These are so cozy and I just love watching them!

[@MaPerkins21]

Almost 5 hours, THANK YOU for blessing us, Gab🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@crispy_tyrant4399]

I love your ND playthroughs so much! I'm so ready for a 5 hour cozy stream!!

[@mariastaylor]

Not Gabs figuring out who the real Black Cat is just 3 minutes into the game, lmaoooo

[@abigailzayas8143]

Loved your play through Gab! As well, seeing that library, I would love to have something like that!

[@brennanfitzgerald631]

From someone who teaches Biology at a high school level. The DNA puzzle in the library was the first puzzle I’ve seen where I went “I Know this one! If only I could help!”

[@not_them]

I've just moved into my own place after 4ish years of living with my family, and needed something comforting. Evelien is the perfect company for my first night on my own. Thanks for doing what you do

[@NPCacp]

already watched the VOD but this is one of my fave nancy games ❤ (i’m wearing a waverly sweatshirt right now from the merch shop) excited to eventually see gab play my favorite game, sea of darkness

[@tomboyhns2643]

Stuck in bed today with aches and chills. This video couldn’t have had better timing! 😍

[@NDandHBCentral]

I think Izzy actually was behind Mel's false accusation. The PW was used to wipe Izzy's project towards the end.

[@v0mit4br4ins]

i thought it was funny when nancy found out about rachel and kim (and that they were being blackmailed to deliver the warnings from the black cat) and then immediately got a second black cat warning lol. she JUST talked to them and one of them immediately pushed a letter under her door. i also thought it was funny that gab didn't notice or comment on that

[@gothgf16]

Can’t believe somebody blew the spoiler almost immediately

[@mahina113]

I was coming here to say that! I feel like usually people are pretty good about not spoiling things, I was excited for her to get to that point until it was ruined so early

[@Chellekathryn]

I was so mad when I saw that on the stream. I hope that person feels shame.

[@kokeru]

@@Chellekathryn why would they feel shame like as soon as she started talking about 'schizoid' it was the most obvious guess💀 i know i didnt expect it to be the actual plot before i saw this comment lol

[@RaySky]

It was my impression that it was a guess, not an intentional spoiler.

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

​@@RaySky Yeah, while thoughs that played it could assume that someone just spoiled a twist, but the whole secret twins thing has been done to death that its not that shocking that someone might take a craze guess right when the first clue is presented.

[@kianaelle]

This is now one of my favorites Nancy Drew games of all time 🥰🥰💖💖

[@okmeowokmeow]

I feel so bad for Rachel and Kim tho 😢 they only did it because they didn't want to be sent into foster care or be homeless. The unfair advantage got them into the top achieving students, so I hope now that they're separate they will just be regular performing students.

[@danibanez]

this one and the crystal skull are definitely my favorite nd games you've played so far!

[@firefly-pd9ho]

omg I was just binging the Nancy Drew playlist for the last few days, and now another one comes out! what a treat ❤

[@SConArt87]

Fun fact: my neighbor’s punk grandson once called the cops on me because I was practicing a piece for choir. When they showed up HE was the one who got in trouble for making a false call.

[@ladyylavender]

Im only like 20 minutes into the video, but the doll in Mels room looked familiar. Apparently its a goth version of one of the dolls used in a puzzle in the Nancy Drew train mystery game (forgot the name sorry!)

[@rachaelbuirge3160]

this is the video that started it all for me! been watching gab for almost a year now :)

[@psyphersky]

Ahh, my childhood. Thank you so much for the nostalgia, I'm so so happy!

[@refira2974]

This was such a good one!! The emptiness I feel everytime I finish the latest Nancy video is the same as when you finish a good book... But look forward to the next one!!

[@verteabrae]

Mel casually playing Bach in the background is such a mood

[@minimcwitch]

Nancy's back!!! YES. I have a 10 hour shift followed by a gym session tomorrow so this will be my night sorted 🎉

[@theyounggamer3315]

2:05:14 Isn't it weird that we're almost halfway through and no one has suspected Paige or had anything bad to say about her? And we haven't met her yet? Her room has to be interesting. It's like they're trying to hide her. 3:10:30 I'm calling it now: Blue is Paige, other six robes are the other valedictorian candidates.

[@Breezey-doodle]

I absolutely LOVE Mel's voice!❤

[@theLexisama]

I was just watching the irish one thinking how i missed nancy. So glad to see another one🥰

[@erisauria]

I have been so ready for the next Nancy Drew episode! Time to get my tea cup and cozy blanket!

[@earthwitchnatasha]

you're my favorite streamer/youtuber gab! struggling really bad with anxiety lately and your videos always help distract me and help me laugh 🫶🏻 thank you!!

[@velvetvehemence]

oh my gosh i played this for hours and hours and got stuck on so many puzzles when I was like 12 this game is honestly so peak dark academia

[@consciousnesshidden]

Gab you're on a roll! RE4, Dredge _and_ a Nancy in the same week?? How am I supposed to keep up with this! XD

[@geekyspider8815]

Always a good day when there is a new Nancy Drew game!!!

[@theophilusomhurchu4438]

ive been in and out of hospital due to a severe car crash that tore my aorta open, and left one of my legs paralyzed, so im not able to do much but lay in bed, ur videos always cheer me up
