#Nancy Drew games music

[mrs-xenia-and-dagny]

I was on a zoom call with him last year and yeah he basically said it was cost cutting reasons (possibly with the new CEO? I can’t remember exactly). But while he said his departure from the games left a bad taste in his mouth, he really enjoyed writing for the games, and he would be happy to write for the games again. He said it was a great experience getting to chat to the developers and he got detailed descriptions of the types of music they wanted for the game, which you can really tell because so much of the music is sooo good.

Also I’m pretty sure to answer the original question Alibi in Ashes was the last one he wrote music for (though I haven’t checked this so I could be misremembering)

When did Kevin stop writing music for her?

I have no idea why Kevin Manthei stopped creating music for the games, though I’ve tried to investigate why he no longer works with HER.

Does anyone have any info about this though?

(Also, does anyone know which game was the last one he composed? Cause according to the credits for the music from WAC, it looks like “Somatone Interactive Studios” wrote the music, but this forum post explains that CAP must have been the last game that Kevin worked on, and that ”Thomas Regin, North By Sound Audio Productions” was responsible for the soundtracks for TMB and DED at the very least.)

So I don’t know if that means that he took some time off between games before ultimately no longer working with HER. I’m sure this is super easy to find out if you just check out the credits for every game, but I just don’t have the time for that right now, haha.

So far Blackmoor Manor is still the top Nancy game for both my sister and I. Other games have better characters I think and even better plots maybe, (or better culprit reveals) but the vibes and music are STRONG. (Both TRT and CUR made us feel nostalgic for the game even though we never played it before. But like, it felt like to both of us as if we had memories of playing it before it was magic)

I think being fans of the Secret Garden and stuff like that as a kid is why we like that vibe so much.

I’ve always wanted to explore a giant old mysterious house. Books like that and even the beginning part of the lion the witch and the wardrobe make it seem so fun.

Also loulou. Love loulou so much.

Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 3 Match 15

Title Music - Manic Miner

VERSUS

Credtrap - Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill

FIGHT!

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

Manic Miner Title Music:

"#but then i heard [Manic Miner Title Music] #just 2 seconds probably #and now the only emotjon that occupies my brain is fear #legit maybe i wont be scared when it wont be dark outside but like i dont think id survive listwning to the whole thi g"

"#however bad you think manic miner is gonna be you are VASTLY underestimating it"

"#seriously [Manic Miner Title Music] hurts #but it's also so funny"

Credtrap:

"JUST LISTEN TO IT. WHAT IS THIS."

"oh god I've never heard the Nancy Drew song before, it's truly terrible. Weird music in the background that sounds like when a pair of headphones is about to go, cringy white boy(?) rapper, trying to make Nancy Drew cool and hip..."

"#great so credtrap's so bad it went unused (well the vocals did). it's awkward in a way a bad parappa player can barely dream of"

"#craptrad"

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

With AO3 down I’m restless and so like any normal person, I went to replay the senior detective massive sudoku and nonogram from SAW.

Unused alternate version of TRT music track from Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower

[drewlyyours]

Y’all gotta play “Killer Frequency” it’s this. It’s also very Nancy Drew games and I love it. I’ve already finished it twice.

the classic trope of "what if you went to a town and it was weird" never fails

The year is 1940, so hang your hat and find a table at this swanky bar as a selection of vintage tunes fills the room around you!

(aka, I got inspired😁💜)

Genuinely one of my favorite things about booting up an old Nancy Drew game is when the music loads just a second before anything else and you're just hit with the aggressive piano out of nowhere.
