lord the insane amounts of “easter eggs” people are thinking they’re finding in this announcement is really assuming this company a) has the organizational skills to release another game and b) has any amount of creativity or fun puzzle thinking in their current staffing

most likely these are the same minds that ended MID with hidden tunnels under the graveyard leading you to the bathroom in the courthouse. 

even in an ideal world this would be the minds that included a diary in a game referencing “Jackson” and then sent an ominous email afterwards about the reason for that inclusion only to backpedal and say that there’s no deeper meaning to it at all and we overthought it too much

in a PERFECT world this is still the gang that brought us skeleton hands with no explanation

what this is some intern working remotely sending over a concept for a fun april fool’s joke and then it briefly being read over before being OK’d by Penny Milliken and sent off to a vendor to make a rendering of it only for the final draft to get sent back again because it wasn’t converted to JPG and Penny couldn’t open it to review it in native form because she didn’t bother renewing their Adobe Photoshop license 

meanwhile the intern that conceptualized this is probably getting absolutely shit faced at the Kappa Kappa Gamma spring break trip to Cabo

I totally thought of this

Excuse me while I spit my drink out! 🫢 I NEVER NOTICED THIS

So excited to announce....Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys. Now with Microtransactions for Everything! I know how much you LOVED the grind of the previous games. Now you have to grind IRL to actually play this game.

MID Update

For those of you who are unable to access the MID update, here’s the info from it:

Spring 2019 is the tentative release date. That’s right, folks--tentative.

The reason this game is taking so long is because they want to make it both VR compatible and “available on all devices”, which is basically like Tommy Wiseau shooting The Room on film and digital...pick one device, Penny. Blatantly a money grab and them trying to find a market that will “stick” (when they already obviously have one in the PC gaming market).

So basically: they’re updating the games to find new markets, not to cater to the market they already have. AFAIK, VR is not something any of us have asked for in terms of improvements to the quality of the game--most of us have asked for more integrated (and diverse) storytelling with better puzzles. Not to mention that VR is potentially a huge dealbreaker for fans in terms of cost and the literal ability to play games. I, like many others, have expressed worry that this system update will cause so much nausea I can’t play the games anymore.

Here’s what I think. VR mystery games are a huge genre (Myst, The Witness, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Firewatch, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture), but they all have one thing in common: very little character interaction, heavy narration, and heavy exploration. That is NOT the style of ND games, at all. Additionally, playing those games in non-VR mode is positively nauseating; it’s really hard to adjust the settings in such a way that you won’t feel like you’re going to vomit from walking around. 

If HER really wants to keep up with the market, then they should attempt to make a game like Life is Strange. That would entail aging up the rating of the game, still using 360 degree gameplay but in a MUCH more controlled fashion, and focusing on the storytelling--which is all we ever really wanted anyway.
