I really prefer to imagine Ned sitting and staring at a wall the whole time while Nancy is out on a case

[henrikvanderswoon]

the accuracy of the settings in this game is everything to me

Nancy, every few seconds, while actively getting chased:

I love the game grumps "i shot and i missed" easter egg. best part of the game

[eye-of-the-phoenix]

I found this right after finding the note from Leo about feeding his cat and I'm starting to think there may be cats in my future...

[naancydrew]

ok. we need to speak about elka and nancy.

honestly i didnt give a fuck about elka even tho her hyped her up so much i was like oh ok. hacker i guess.

but them making elka a character foil to nancy on how they dealt with their moms dying from being part of secret organizations...... elka thinking she would understand. nancy saying kate investigated a crime when she died and elka saying you will take after her. that was insane.

then the crazy ass moment when nancy says there's one last puzzle. "you were the puzzle" . the dialogue box went away so quickly my brain didnt fully process what she said until a couple seconds later and i jsut had to sit there with my mouth open

...... DOES THAT NOT SOUND ROMANTIC AS FUCK???? HUUUHHH???? i know she just meant grabbing the ring but . GIRL????? nancy calling someone a puzzle sounds like the most romantic and tragic shit in the world they cant spring this on me during the denouement

All of the places where I found and pet Mariáš <3

Bonus:

Tragically you can't pet her in this scene with Leo, but you can still look!

My first attempt playing KEY:

[queerdagny]

ah yes a post it note, the most threatening of the stationery

[henrikvanderswoon]

firstly

i can't believe this is a starbucks irl

secondly

there's canonically a sex machine museum down there

[naancypants]

It still sends me that HeR marketed Radek as some kind of conventional dreamy heartthrob... like your honor that is the nerdiest, silliest, most awkward, neurodivergent little guy I've ever seen in a Nancy Drew game bdjxjxbxj. And I love him

[professorhotchkissesta]

The way Nancy opens a centuries old puzzle box and immediately YEETS the puppet stored inside it. Like. That puppet is gone. Lost to the world. Kept safe for centuries only to be absolutely decimated by an amateur detective in mom jeans

I just have to say it...I'm REALLY enjoying KEY. I don't know if I'm alone in this but it really feels like they fixed so many problems since MID and it gives me real classic nancy vibes. Is it 100% the same as the original series? No, but it's like 88-92% there in vibes and that's good enough for me! If the games continue like this I'm going to be one happy camper. The puzzles are great and actually really challenging, there are a lot of snooping moments, the setting opens up as you play, and more! idk I am just so happy and thrilled to be feeling like I'm playing an actual Nancy Drew Game again
