Yesterday I played the game "Nancy Drew. The Legend of the Crystal Skull." I am very glad to return to this series of games. As a child, there were only three or four discs, and I didn't complete any of them, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the process. Now my goal is to go through all the games and draw fanarts for them. And… I saw this dude and….Well, he's good :^D Sad but good Henry Bolet

Nancy: Hi Henry! Do you think I could have your weird dead great-uncle’s glass eye that you keep on a key chain?

Henry: um. No

Nancy: what if I blackmailed you 🥺

Playing Ghost of Thornton Hall and then Replaying Legend of the Crystal Skull back to back really makes me appreciate the difference in mood.

Both games are Southern Gothic, but the deep sorrow of Thornton Hall really really emphasizes the joyousness of Crystal Skull. Despite Bruno literally being murdered, Nancy spends the game totally immersed in all the strange things that Bruno loved, that he surrounded himself with. Bruno's puzzles weren't some long-held ancestral duty, or bred from generational paranoia; Bruno was just a weird old man who loved the macabre and loved puzzles.

Bruno and Henry didn't really have a relationship to speak of, but the epilogue does confirm that Bruno cared about Henry--he was just bad at showing it. I don't think any of us can judge Bruno too harshly though; Bruno was an eccentric old man who was suddenly a child's only living relative, meanwhile never having a nuclear family of his own. Considering his propensity for dangerous pets and secret passages, the Bolet home was most definitely not safe for a child; even if Bruno did know how to raise a kid.

Given that Henry was the kind of person to want to keep the glass eye his great-uncle was wearing during his death as a keychain, I think it's fair to say that they probably would have got along great if Bruno had been equipped to care for him--or even tried a little harder.

Playing that game as an adult, after coming off of the deep sadness that is Thornton Hall, I have so much more appreciation for what the game says about Bruno's life. You can almost feel Bruno's excitement while he sets up all of these puzzles for Henry. It makes it very clear that Bruno didn't know Henry, if he expected him to go through all these puzzles, but that doesn't change the fact that the house itself is a monument to that fact that Bruno Bolet surrounded himself with all the odd things he loved, and was the type of person to wander the streets of New Orleans with all 25 of the freaky custom glass eyes he owned.

I think it's interesting that a game where Nancy only shows up to check on a man who's just lost his only living relative manages to be so cheerful beyond the gloomy(gorgeous) aesthetics.

Renee: Have a seat. I may not be a licensed therapist but I’ve been told by many people that I could be. Henry: That’s not what they mean when they say, “You’re certifiable.”

Sorry this isn't Outlast, but they've been on my mind recently and I need to make sure I'm not the only one who has to suffer it

[knock-off-krolmeister]

Do we know what Henry's major is at school? Or is it not even hinted at?

Like, he's got a class or two with Ned evidently. What does Ned do?

NANCY DREW CASE FILES : 17

LEGEND OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

Down in New Orleans, an artifact known as the "Whisperer", a glass crystal skull believed to grant the one who possesses it with immortality, but not in this case when the last one to obtain the rumored unearthly artifact, Bruno Bolet, is found dead. Meanwhile, the artifact remains missing.

Is his death merely a result of his own mortality? Or is time not the only cause of concern?

Head down to New Orleans for rainy nights and warm gumbo to track down a missing artifact and possibly a murderer.

Cody Fern as Henry Bolet Jr.

Bruno's great nephew, who he had taken in when Henry's parents had died, but with all that time Bruno believed to harness from the crystal skull very little would be spent with Henry, who in Bruno's passing was left to tend to the estate. With a somewhat detached nature to the situation, is it possible he is hiding guilt? or is he simply numb to grief?

Danny Glover as Gilbert Buford

Dr.Buford discovered the body of his late friend, Mr.Bolet, in which he determined the cause of his death natural, Meanwhile he possessed the knowledge that his friend claimed to hold the key to immortality, while harbouring secrets of his own. Did he use his medical position to falsify his cause of death for his own ticking clock?

Catherine O'Hara as Renee Amande

The Housekeeper, who spent a great deal of time in Bruno's presence. With a proclivity for dabbling in the other worldly, and tending to her garden, did she unearth Bruno's secret?

Daniel Curtis Lee as Lamont Warrick

Runs Zeke's Curio shop, with an eye for antiques and strange items. Is it possible the crystal skull caught his eye? Or perhaps it would attract the eyes of buyers to his shop.
