#nancy drew haunting of castle malloy

[idolcandy]

If I had a nickel for every time a video game had a setting with a secret rocket lab hidden in an old Irish castle I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

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

The fact that HAU begins with Nancy unbothered by Ned scolding her for being on the phone while driving moments before she IMMEDIATELY crashes her car into a ditch makes this game immediately so hilarious to me

It was only TODAY while watching Snughly's Castle Malloy stream that I realized the dollhouse was the miniature castle Malloy!!

She explained it live on stream, also just realizing. The upper floor is the secret room, the middle room is the library where Kyler sits, on the right is the nursery, left is corridor, and the bottom room is the big area where Kit is... I have not figured this out all of my life despite playing this game 10+ times.

Lush just released this bath bomb for Halloween and I’m losing my mind

I always forget just how beautiful Haunting of Castle Malloy is until I play it and see the sky and the gates

You know something I’ve always been interested in was diving more into Kyler and Kit’s former relationship. Interestingly, and if I’m remembering this correctly, when looking at the game files, this photo you find of K+K around the fireplace is titled “old college photo.” What’s interesting is when looking at former Waverly Academy alumni, Kyler graduated in 1995. I’m curious to know how they met, what their relationship was like, did Kit visit her at Waverly? So many questions. And I love the web that is the ND universe 🌟

**ETA: Casey_nickerson1 on IG pointed out an excellent observation! It is the flower stand from Venice as the couple’s backdrop. Now I must know: did they study abroad together? Vacation together?! I HAVE QUESTIONS!!!!!

HAU is the saddest ND game bar none in my opinion. Fundamentally so depressing!!!

🚨 Spoilers for the end of Castle Malloy 🚨

I just completed The Haunting of Castle Malloy and it left me with a question unanswered: WHERE DID THE ROCKET LAND? Nancy launched a whole decades-old rocket into the atmosphere. Where did it land?? if not in the ocean, it could have exploded on land and started a wildfire... but at least Kyler got her happy ending, I guess!!

Okay but like the fact that this one image tells so much and is (imo) the saddest thing in the entire game

Like it's the Malloy family tree and they have asterisks over the deceased, and little Fiona added her own parents' stars after they died, and the stars are both messed up bc she was just a kid :(

And then she added her raven as her own child and the raven died...and so did the next one and the next one and the next one and her writing and her stars get messier and messier as time goes on until the last star is just a scribble and the newest raven's name is just lines to show her mental state deteriorating over the years

and like...there are other people on the tree that are alive. Fiona had family and she never saw them again after the accident, and they thought she was dead all that time. And we know Kyler's grandpa is now passed away and Fiona has no idea given that he has no star. Maybe she's been holding on to faint memories of him and hoping to see him again one day. She never knew that he had children, and now his children are dead as well. Who knows what is going on with the other family line, but at least one in her generation had already passed by the time of the accident.

Idk I know this is all obvious stuff but this poster really just hits me because it tells such a sad story :(
