Mordremoth:

This song plays during a battle that was built up for the whole expansion it’s from and to an extent even before that. The instruments used are reflected in the rest of the expansion up to this point— the song is very cathartic.

Grand:

it lives up to its name and the atmosphere of the game it's in--grand, yes, but also lonely and forgotten

Can we do the opposite too? Most despised suspect in each game? (:

YES

secrets can kill: everybody here is EQUALLY ANNOYING

stay tuned for danger: and everybody here is as two-dimensional as their character models

message in a haunted mansion: ah, good ol’ louis chandler, the man with the voice like caramelized poison.

treasure in the royal tower: what still baffles to me to this day is that when i was younger i genuinely liked giant pissbaby jacques. NOT ANYMORE, PAL

the final scene: soz joseph, but i have NO SYMPATHY for your sad lil backstory. also, LOL at the game for trying to keep us from hating him by adding “at least he was kind and courteous to maya the whole time he kidnapped her” ????? he was going to kill her??? for a theater???? and even when it was obvious that the demolition was gonna happen no matter what he still stuck her in a fish tank and refused to budge?? NO

secret of the scarlet hand: i cannot forgive anyone with hands like taylor sinclar

ghost dogs of moon lake: red knott strolls around SALLY’S PROPERTY acting like he has ANY RIGHT TO BE THERE and BUILD HIMSELF A TREEHOUSE and then has the A U D A C I T Y to berate nancy for making noise even though he is T R E S P A S S I N G

the haunted carousel: joy trent, a disappointment to her name and to us all. she also has the morale of a defeated slug. if she doesn’t figure out miles’ riddle in a matter of seconds she thinks it’s HOPELESS. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH HERE, HER INTERACTIVE

danger on deception island: okay, yes, he is amusing, but how can anyone in this current american political climate actually do anything but flinch when holt scotto starts talking

secret of shadow ranch: there is no one unlikable in this game. i mean, even shorty, who is obviously Not The Best Person, has some truly stellar lines

curse of blackmoor manor: I LOVE EVERYONE HERE TOO

secret of the old clock: you know, i’ve wondered for many years if jane’s unwillingness to help us sew that dress was an intended culprit giveaway or just nancy drew characters having their useful penchant for being as unhelpful as possible so nancy can be forced to do ALL THE CHORES. that being said, there is just nothing likable about a woman stupid enough to explode a kitchen of a place she is trying to sell for as much money as possible. JANE, all the way

last train to blue moon canyon: I LOVE EVERYONE AGAIN

danger by design: everyone in this game is just Existing, taking up absolutely no space in my heart/brain. i’m tempted to say dieter is the most annoying because he has the audacity to try to make us sympathize with him because he is in love with a woman who is not interested in him. much sad. very hurt.

creature of kapu cave: is there a single redeeming quality about quigley??? also WHERE DOES NANCY’S FIERCENESS GO when she’s stuttering out answers while quigley grills her on where her clipboard is and HOW THIS IS A REAL SHAKY START TO THIS UNPAID WORK SHE’S DOING FOR HER

white wolf of icicle creek: there is just not enough understanding in my bones to have the patience for trap-happy gun-wielding ollie randall knocking down chantal’s door for a raise

legend of the crystal skull: i like the whole cast here!

phantom of venice: colin baxter

haunting of castle malloy: BYE, KIT

ransom of the seven ships: of all the brilliant villains we had at our disposal, and we got….. dwayne powers (with frank’s voice to boot)

warnings at waverly academy: am i SUPPOSED to like rachel and/or kim after they shovel all their homework onto us and yet still barely give us the time of day?????

trail of the twister: everyone is great! although man, do i wish debbie would stop yelling at us to HAVE FUN all the time

shadow at the water’s edge: listen i know everyone likes her and yes, she has some great dialogue, but i find yumi more annoying than anything else

the captive curse: everyone is great, no complaints here

alibi in ashes: toni scallari is the only person in this FANTASTIC ensemble to dislike, and even then, i kinda can’t because of how unbelievably REALISTIC she is

tomb of the lost queen: lily is just too obnoxious for me to enjoy her. also, it’s so painfully obvious that she and lukas from cap share a voice actor that it’s hard for me to even get through her dialogue

the deadly device: listen, i get that he’s super clenched up in his man pain but gray could be a LITTLE less terrible. he’s probably still better than victor, though.

ghost of thornton hall: i really WANT to like jessalyn, especially since we get such a build-up to her reveal, but damn girl, weren’t there easier ways to get to the bottom of your mom’s sordid past than kidnapping yourself, dressing up as your dead aunt, and torturing your entire family into thinking you were dead/held at gunpoint/being murdered somewhere? it also doesn’t help that she goes ape shit on nancy if nancy doesn’t immediately went to help her despite her very sketchy situation. or that she somehow finds it appropriate to complain about her family being a “hot mess” because they’re…… worried about her????

the silent spy: nope. nope, y’all, NOPE. everyone is stellar, a+, 10/10

the shattered medallion: if there is anybody out there who genuinely likes kiri…. gimme your location….. i just want to talk……….

labyrinth of lies: i really do like everyone, but if melina could’ve been a little less hot/cold with us, that would’ve been nice??

sea of darkness: okay, so i really do like everyone in this game, but there is one person i like just a liiiittle less. and y’know, i can already feel the backlash from this, but i really wish dagny would’ve been a bit less of a grumpy, brooding loner. i just remember way too many kids in high school who acted JUST LIKE THIS because they thought it was uber cool. i probably would’ve had more sympathy for this attitude if we would’ve gotten more about dagny’s backstory, but all we know is that she’s going through a divorce. which, that sucks, but it’s also VERY COMMON. if she would’ve un-iced herself a little more before the game’s end, i would’ve definitely liked her a lot more.
