[@lauramichelle6976]

YESSSS I just looked up the voice actress (who had a very extensive career including a few Koopa Kids) but as soon as I saw Nancy Drew I knew that was why I recognized her from Grumps😂

[@ahhhanime10]

I was gonna say that she's better than this.. but I also looked it up and she was the director for this game too. 😅 I adore the Nancy Drew games.

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

@@ahhhanime10 The dialogue between the characters is either really one note or unhinged and I hope the unhinged part came from Nancy lmao. It seems she had a lot of fun with this one. The direction seems really bad but I think she might have aimed for it. I’m probably giving too much credit- she probably didn’t care and did whatever she could to make it fun herself.

[@hollum1648]

Knew this would be a banger when their character immediately loaded in with half her face missing

[@anyanaylor]

Absolutely obsessed with the feature in this game that if you don't call your boyfriend on a regular basis but wait a few weeks between calls you can listen to him get more and more upset at you as your relationship crumbles

[@RoeBoats]

LMAOOOOOO OMFFF that’s amazing

[@Undi3sss]

Heather calling Xerxeneea’s outfit boring, only to be wearing the same outfit in a different colour is funnier than it should be…

[@stevencraeynest7729]

OH MY GOD, I worked on this game! I was quality assurance! And I can assure you there was no quality! It was a summer job and I mainly had to report bugs that for the most part never got fixed. It's crazy seeing you guys play it!

Damn! 😂 Hope you're all good

[@oblivionslefthand]

I've seen an LP of this game before. It's quite long, but it's also really weird. Like, the later you get into the game, the more it feels like the people who worked on it knew no kid would get that far, and just added a bunch of weird addlibs and story points. I think at one point there are 3 gardeners named Dave, and you have to find a specific Dave. It's a trip.

[@llIlIlllII]

One has to locate the King Dave, the strongest and most virile of the Daves.

[@spacepirate9275]

Does it sway the whole time?

[@oblivionslefthand]

@@spacepirate9275 Absolutely

[@Primalstrawberry]

I absolutely need them to experience the combat system in this game

[@plutototoh]

COMBAT system??

[@Primalstrawberry]

@@plutototoh Yup! If you piss off a girl enough you can enter a combat mode where the first one to awkwardly punch and slap the other enough wins. The controls are very janky but it’s very funny to watch

You know its a gonna be a good game when they let the grumps name their character

[@vigorouslethargy]

And a visual glitch right off the bat? Absolutely perfect.

[@cakiepop2038]

This better be a 100 episode series or I'm gonna flip my lid. This game brings out the kind of personality from the Grumps that made me start watching them in the first place.

[@MoonlitLycan]

I know everyone's already noticed Xerxeena's voice is exactly the same as Nancy Drew's from the games the Grumps played on the channel but I swear Monica sure sounds an awful lot like Mandy from Totally Spies.

[@Zerocool3809]

i had to go back and listen to it but they way she says "and you" i can totally hear it

Mandy is more shrill in her inflections, otherwise Monica's a dead ringer

[@keygurumi]

DING

[@jfmangano]

In my head canon, the abstract sculpture that looks like a parent strangling its child is a plea for help from the game designers conveying their anguish at having to create a game based on America's Next Top Model.

[@JustStopPlayingGames]

The statue of the adult strangling the child, in addition to Arin's horrifying face made this worth the watch.

[@bananasfostergrants]

The game developers: "Let's make a Top Model game!" "Great! Have any of us seen the show?" "How is that relevant."

[@zacharymicah]

Ah yes, Arin's favorite type of game, the endless tutorial!
