Puttering Around — Thoughts on: Secret of the Old Clock (CLK)
Previous Metas: SCK/SCK2, STFD, MHM, TRT, FIN, SSH, DOG, CAR, DDI, SHA, CUR
Hello and welcome to a Nancy Drew meta series! 30 metas, 30 Nancy Drew Games that I’m comfortable with doing meta about. Hot takes, cold takes, and just Takes will abound, but one thing’s for sure: they’ll all be longer than I mean them to be.
Each meta will have different distinct sections: an Introduction, an exploration of the Title, an explanation of the Mystery, a run-through of the Suspects. Then, I’ll tackle some of my favorite and least favorite things about the game, and finish it off with ideas on how to improve it.
If any game requires an extra section or two, they’ll be listed in the paragraph above, along with links to previous metas.
These metas are not spoiler free, though I’ll list any games/media that they might spoil here: CLK, CUR.
The Intro:
In our next Jetsetting game, Nancy travels back from Modern-Day England and straight into 1930s Titusville (aka River Heights 70+ years ago) to help an acquaintance who’s in the middle of two unrelated plots to turn Titusville upside down.
A game famously reviewed as “pleasant but inconsequential”, Secret of the Old Clock tends to be passed over for both praise and censure, famous for two minigames (the sewing minigame and the mini-golf) but otherwise overlooked. It’s a shame, really, that it’s sandwiched in between two much flashier games, as CLK is a wonderfully solid entry into the Nancy Drew series. It pioneers the two-culprit variation on the standard Nancy Drew plot, tackles a new time period, and includes dozens of in-jokes towards the Nancy Drew books.
It’s also the first introduction of Carson Drew as a phone character, which is a lot of fun, and makes sense that he’d show up in the game that includes nods to all things canon. He doesn’t show up again until much later in the series, so it’s nice to introduce him here after hearing about him for 12 games.
As opposed to CUR right before it, CLK takes care to ground itself in a linear plotline, handling its story with relative ease and taking care not to reach too far out of the box. This is one of its greatest strengths, and provides a much better game overall because of it. It’s a simple story, pretty well told.
Though it doesn’t stand up to other more “simple” games before it such as CAR or DDI, it never reaches any of the lows of SCK, FIN, or CUR, and allows the player to be sucked in to its fantastic facsimile of life in the 1930s for teen sleuth Nancy Drew — blue roadster and all.
The Title:
As CLK is a mixture of the first four Nancy Drew books, it retains the title of the first book. As a nod to the history of Nancy Drew, it’s a great choice for the title.
Unfortunately, though the Old Clock does appear and hold secrets, it’s just not prominent enough to deserve the title that it holds. The other three books — The Hidden Staircase, The Bungalow Mystery, and The Mystery at Lilac Inn — are other options, and The Mystery at Lilac Inn would have been the most appropriate title. It doesn’t have the immediate name recognition, which is why they didn’t pick it, but it really is much better and encapsulates the game much better, as the game revolves around the Mysteries that are tied to the Inn.
That’s all I really have to say about that, so onto the mystery!
The Mystery:
Nancy Drew is summoned to the Lilac Inn to help Emily Crandall, the friend of Nancy’s friend Helen Corning, who needs to put her recently deceased mother’s jewelry into a safe, and figures that Nancy’s father would have one.
If it sounds to you like a simple, if slightly contrived premise, then you’d be right.
Once Nancy gets there, however, she finds out that Emily is cracking under the pressure of running an Inn, that her guardian Jane Willoughby isn’t as much help as she should be, and that Emily and her mother were depending on money from Josiah Crowley’s will, which mysteriously only included his recent ESP teacher, Richard Topham, rather than the Crandalls and the local banker.
From there, things go from bad to worse as the inn’s kitchen catches fire, Emily’s jewels are stolen (and partially returned), and voices in the walls start manifesting — not to mention the fetch quests around Titusville that Nancy is sent on and the ridiculous Richard Topham hiding everything about himself other than how pompous he really is.
Nancy soon figures out that this mystery is two-headed, with one side revolving around the Inn itself and the other around Josiah Crowley’s real — and missing — will. Our villains catch on too, however, and Nancy has to race against their suspicion to expose the frauds, discover hidden secrets and identities, and solve the Secret of the Old Clock.
As a mystery, this one really is quite good for its time. Dual villains, each unconcerned with the other, hidden inheritance, Shakespeare references — it’s got it all. Though Jim Archer lets it down a bit in his sheer nothingness, and it functions as a howdunnit with a weird whodunnit beginning, CLK is solid ground after the incredibly shaky mystery in CUR, and it’s a lot of fun to play through.
The Suspects:
Emily Crandall is our protagonist and resident watering pot of CLK who spends the game moping and being Generally Unhelpful. Her mom’s death notwithstanding, Emily’s stressors are the Inn, her lack of money, and her fake-guardian making her think that she’s crazy.
So maybe her total lack of common sense in wanting to call in Nancy because Nancy’s bound to have a safe at home is a result of copious amounts of mental stress. One can only hope so, as by her next birthday she’s the legal owner of the Inn.
Emily actually would have been interesting as a villain, but she, like Jim, just isn’t enough of a presence in the game — which stands out since she’s the closest we’ve got to a main character! She cries a lot, she sits a lot, and that’s about it. She would have had to be a misguided villain, convinced that her guardian (who would have had to actually be Jane Willoughby) is after her fortune…but HER still isn’t up to that level yet, and it’s probably better that they went with a story they can tell wholly and mostly convincingly.
Honestly speaking, Emily, being as she is, is a more successful Linda Penvellyn, which I don’t actually think is unintentional. She’s being harassed and abused by someone who’s basically a family member but is still largely unfamiliar to her, the tie to her remaining family is gone (though Emily’s mother is dead, unlike Hugh Penvellyn), and she is being gaslighted to believe that she’s crazy.
Emily was allowed more agency, more screen time, and more pity by the writers and creators, and because of that, her situation with her Evil Jane is far more obvious to the average player, and she’s treated with far more sympathy than Linda historically has been by the fandom (though recent fan discussion has begun trending in Linda’s favor, which I think is wonderful and fantastic).
Jane Willoughby is, of course, not Jane Willoughby after all, but actually Marion Aborn, proving that identity theft in the 30s was as easy as…well, saying that your name was someone else’s name.
An acquaintance of the actual Jane Willoughby and a petty thief, Marion intercepted the letter about Gloria’s death and Jane’s status as Emily’s guardian and decided to try to cash in on potential cash by tormenting Emily until she signed over the Inn. Exploding the kitchen, stealing Emily’s jewels, and attempting to make the girl think that she was crazy to make her sell the Inn before her 18th birthday (after which Marion would receive no profits).
As one of two culprits, Marion is the more “subtle” culprit and has the more complicated background, but is also the one you have to deal with the most, and thus suffers slightly from being in the spotlight (and thus showing the obviously evil side of her) a little too much. As this game isn’t really concerned with its culprits as a centerpiece, however, Marion’s antics fit right in.
Marion also gets points for being a much more intelligent abusive culprit (contrasting Jane), working hard to make Emily think she’s crazy with a clear goal in mind and even going as far as stealing, then partially replacing, Emily’s jewels to really hammer home the idea that the girl wasn’t mentally well to others — and to Emily herself.
Richard Topham is a self-proclaimed ESP expert and everyone-else-proclaimed dick who ended up somehow being the beneficiary of Josiah Crowley’s will, despite his spoken intentions to leave it to the Crandalls and Jim Archer. He also has a very obnoxious cat named Uri, voiced by a lovely cat named Carl (though I bet you were expecting me to say Jonah Von Spreecken — never fear, he shows up as the Tubby Telegram guy!)
Richard is our other culprit, guilty of falsifying Josiah Crowley’s will when no one could find the original, leaving most everything to himself rather than to the Crandalls or Jim Archer as Josiah wanted. A slight throwback to the 1920s obsession with spiritualism that itself was a post-war reaction to massive death, Richard is as sleazy as they come, testing Nancy for an “inferior mind” and taking advantage of every situation in order to come out on top.
As a culprit, Richard’s technically the one with the bigger crime, but is overshadowed by the plotline with Emily and Marion and is thus a little forgettable, even though it was his actions that started this whole mess in the first place.
Finally, Jim Archer is the local banker who’s not having too good of a time during, well, the Great Depression, where hundreds of banks (and dozens of bankers’ hearts) failed. Promised a boon by Josiah Crowley, he, like Emily, is left in the lurch after the false will was presented. Jim was also a fellow student with Carson Drew at law school, but turned to banking as a career instead.
Despite his office being the location where Nancy finally figures out the mystery of the titular Old Clock and where she discovers that “Jane” is actually Marion, Jim really doesn’t have much to do in this game. He gives Nancy the dreaded sewing minigame and reminds the player that the stock market crash was a recent event, but other than that has very little impact.
Jim would have been a poor choice for a villain — he just doesn’t have the personality or impact necessary — as the only storyline readily available would have been him doing Dirty Deeds to keep his bank afloat…except for the fact that if he were a villain, his bank would have been doing fine, with no need for the will anyway.
The Favorite:
My favorite moment in the game, odd as it might seem, is the CB radio conversation-slash-puzzle. It’s so rare in these pre-Nik games that we actually get to see the lives of those not really related to the case/mystery and get a sense for the world spinning on despite the incident, and this is a great example of that done right.
Like the “freezer moment” mentioned in my Danger on Deception Island meta, this moment where Nancy can see how Josiah Crowley’s life has impacted people for the better, rather than the main game where so far his death has made everything worse. It’s a wonderful moment, and honestly the game is worth replaying on the merit of that alone (though there are many wonderful things about it).
My favorite puzzle is getting down into the secret passage (and all of the puzzles within the passage). It’s a ton of fun to find hidden passages that aren’t full of Deadly Traps or human remains, and the whole Creepy’s Corner puzzle is delightfully campy and awesome.
The best location in the game by far is the carriage house, where the aforementioned conversation takes place. Beautifully lit, nicely hidden away in stages, and the only place that doesn’t feel like a 1960s set of a 30s period piece.
I love this game as homage to the original Nancy Drew titles; though they’re changed somewhat to suit both a video game style and the take on the original canon that the video game universe took (such as making Nancy’s mother’s death at 10 as it was originally, which was the smartest move they’ve ever done).
Video-Game-Style Nancy’s far more like her original 30s version than the sanitized, “fashion-ized” version in the 60’s rewrites — a fact that becomes more and more clear as the series goes on — and it really does show here, as cowboy-cop Nancy wrangles not one but two crooks.
Speaking of, the last thing that I’ll mention in this section is the fact that there are two different culprits, each uncaring of the other. In a game series that was originally only supposed to be 12 games long (meaning CLK would be the last one), this is a delightfully fresh take and it makes untangling who did what a lot of fun and makes CLK different from most games before it.
I’ll talk more about this in later Nancy metas, but the shift from “one crime, one culprit” to a more “spread the guilt” approach really makes the games go up a level or two in enjoyability and in complexity, and CLK is a great example of how just having two culprits really makes the game much more fun to play around with.
The Un-Favorite:
All of that being said, there are some things in CLK that I really don’t love.
The sewing puzzle is honestly the worst; it’s hard with a mouse and nearly impossible with a trackpad, it’s tedious, and it doesn’t matter for the rest of the game, which is probably the worst part given how much effort it takes. It’s a puzzle for a puzzles’ sake, and doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know (we know Jim’s not doing well; we know it’s the Great Depression, etc.), not to mention not rewarding the player nor Nancy for the effort.
My least favorite moment in the game would have to be Nancy’s first encounter with Richard Topham. Nancy’s autonomy is usually respected in both the 30s original drafts (less so in the 60s re-writes) and in the games, and Richard’s comments about lesser minds and his little test are, even with Nancy’s snarky comment about him in her diary, frankly out of place.
They don’t serve as a “relic of the times”, they don’t make us hate Richard more than we would have for stealing money from people who are literally drowning in bills and debt…and as much as the Nancy Drew books and character are feminist rather than Feminist, it’s honestly not great to have both his ‘clients’ during the course of the game be women that he treats the way he does.
It wasn’t necessary to have him behave the way he does, it contradicts the Spiritualist movement (which was most popular among women to a startling degree, and male Spiritualists tended to treat their female clients very well because that was the bulk of their clientele), and it doesn’t tell us anything new about him, because Nancy and the players already know he’s a fake and a blowhard.
The Fix:
So how would I fix Secret of the Old Clock?
The first and biggest fix I’d make is to include a strong storyline about Spiritualism. As noted several times above, Spiritualism was a huge force in the 1920s, and a period piece set in the year 1930 should necessarily reflect that. Quite frankly, all the nonsense about Jim Archer’s wife should just be cut and replaced with a big Spiritualism puzzle of some sorts.
I’m not saying a séance — no need to retread MHM — but an actual nod to Spiritualism (and through it, the first World War, which given Nancy’s age of 18, would have happened when she was a child) more than just “and this character is a psychic of sorts, don’t really think about it” would improve the game and ground it in its time period. Other than the references to money troubles and the ease of identity theft, there’s not much to ground CLK in its period, and I really think a Spiritualism storyline would aid that.
And if Spiritualism is involved, Richard becomes a more present, more serious character — and a more serious threat. It also opens the opportunity for the two plotlines to intersect — is Emily being driven crazy by stress, an enemy, or a malevolent spirit (which could even be supposed to be her mom, should they want a slightly darker turn)? Richard might visit the house to ensure there are no ‘malevolent presences’ around — and ensure that Crowley didn’t hide his will there.
It wouldn’t become a ‘haunting’ game; it would instead work on the aesthetic of familiar spirits — something that would be explored more fully in the next game.
I know this has been said, but I can’t emphasize enough that the sewing puzzle should be cut, even if there’s nothing to take its place. It’s a perfect example of the wrong puzzle, the wrong controls, and the wrong side-quest at the wrong time. I’m also not sure why they made Jim Archer a middle-aged banker rather than Helen Corning’s fiancée, but that’s too small a change to really bother with.
The other important change I would make is to change CLK from a weak whodunit — our culprits are already clearly the culprits — to a strong howdunit, which is what it really wants to be.
The beginning can stay the same — Nancy’s journey, Emily’s mother’s death, Richard’s faking of the will, Josiah Crowley’s death and promises, etc. — but introducing Richard Topham at the Inn, there to ‘visit’ and offer condolences and because he sensed Heavy Psychic Energy and wondered if it was coming from the house or from Emily. Have Emily tell Nancy in confidence that the other reason she called her in was because she’s either going crazy or being attacked on all sides, and the game can proceed on from that point.
Because the villains aren’t secret or even quasi-hidden in plain sight — save for Marion’s identity theft — it’s a much more natural shift to a howdunit than other games. Emily’s living in fear of Marion, running the Inn, and the possible Malevolent Spirit that may or may not be her mother haunting her through the Secret, Secret Passageway in the Inn, and Nancy’s suspicious of Richard Topham who inherited all of Crowley’s wealth, of the ‘hauntings’ of the Inn, and of the missing will and the gifts Josiah left behind.
Those two plotlines alone are enough to carry the game, especially including the Edutainment section on Spiritualism that would tie in with Richard Topham (and possibly include Emily’s mother having an interest due to her husband dying in the war), and so Jim Archer just isn’t needed as much. Whether he stays in the game in an even more reduced role or whether he’s replaced by a ninth-hour character in the form of Emily’s actual guardian, the real Jane Willoughby, is up to personal preference (though I personally like the second option).
Like all the Jetsetting games, CLK begins with a small problem that snowballs into larger and larger consequences. By emphasizing a Spiritualist plotline (culminating with the technology-based ‘encounters’ Josiah had with his CB radio friends), trimming down the fat with Jim Archer, and selling CLK from the beginning as more of a howdunit than a whodunit, CLK would improve enough to be more than just a good game, and become a standout of its era — as befitting the start of the titular teen detective.

throwback FB survey thingy
Throwback to the days when I’d waste my junior high days doing these surveys on Facebook. This post brought to you by Facebook memories.
Who was your childhood crush? some kid named danny who ate all my goldfish. Do you like Red Bull? nope. Do you drink regular or diet sodas? i don’t drink soda. Would you rather eat your pizza cold or hot? surprisingly i don’t really like pizza, but probably hot. What are you doing tomorrow? school. eat. study. sleep. repeat. Are you over the age of 21? yes i am 23 Would you rather date a girl/guy with a British accent or an Irish accent? either is cool with me Where is the biggest scar on your body? i have two very noticeable scars on my left leg from my “ninth grade” days Are you trying to avoid something by filling surveys out? not avoiding but i can’t sleep. so this. Have you ever had fake nails? i have. they look nice but are very annoying. Do you say the "f" word a lot? not tons. usually only in traffic. Has someone seen you naked in the past month? nope. Does everyone deserve a second chance? few years ago i probably would’ve said yes, but NOPE. How many concerts have you been to? let’s count... 12 i think. When is the last time you wore a dress? probably my friend’s wedding 5 months ago Do you believe in karma? not karma really, but i do believe in natural consequences for a person’s behaviour, good or bad. How many days until your next birthday? 243 days. What are your plans for this weekend? summer staff christmas party (yes it’s almost february). church probably. going to see hidden figures. Is it cute when a boy/girl calls you baby? not at all. What's irritating you right now? truthfully just about everything in my life right now. Is there anyone you wish was still in your life? yes. Do you get distracted easily? very. stupid netflix. Is this year the best year of your life? so far 2017 has been less than ideal. and 2016 was a shit show. Do you have a best friend? sure do. she’s the greatest human i know. Do you think it’s right for straight guys to get their tongue pierced? kind of a heterosexist thing to ask. i don’t really care. straight dudes can do whatever they want. Last thing you drank? milk. Have you ever thought about getting your nose pierced? yes. frequently. Would you marry for money? years ago i would’ve said no, but i would probably if the opportunity arise and he was a good, kind-hearted man. Have you had braces? nope. You sleep more on your back, front,or sides? all of the above. i’m probably the most restless person y’all know. Do you get along with your parents? for the most part. Have you ever had a birthday party? yes. not since high school though. What should you be doing right now? sleeping. probably. How do you feel about your life right now? for lack of a better word, dissatisfied. How's this week been? less than ideal, but productive. What happened at 11:30 am today? i’m pretty sure that’s when i got out of bed. How did you feel when you woke up today? decently rested. Kiss on the first date? why not. kissing really only matters when you haven’t done it before. Would you ever donate blood? i’d like to but so far the blood banks haven’t let me. i had mono when i was 18 and i’ve been anemic ever since. Have you ever driven without a license? i’ve always driven with a valid license. sometimes it hasn’t been on my person though. What time did you go to sleep last night? i think around 1 am Where did you buy the shirt you're wearing now? some sleepwear store. don’t remember the name. Did you sing at all today? yes. i sing always. every day. When's the last time you cried? sunday i think. i cry so easily. Do you believe in love? that question gets more and more complicated as i get older, i find. at this very moment... a strong “maybe”. This time last year, can you remember who you liked? i’m pretty sure i didn’t like anyone. Two days from now this time, where will you be? same spot i am now. hopefully sleeping. Do you think anyone has feelings for you? i can confidently say that there are people out in the world that have not-so-nice feelings for me for whatever reason they choose to. romantic feelings? probably not. Have you ever thought you were going to marry someone? yes and no. i thought i was going to marry my high school boyfriend but i didn’t want to. if that makes any sense. Do you get butterflies around the person you like? used to when i was younger. i haven’t liked anyone enough to experience this phenomena in a long time. Who was the first person you talked to today? by text, my best friend. in person, my dad. How late did you stay up last night and why? around 1 am. combination of “couldn’t sleep” and “watching an intense episode of the good wife”. Do you smoke weed everyday? nope. Could you go a month without cursing? i probably could, yes. Have you ever ridden a horse? yes. and i will never again. it was a terrible experience. You can take one friend on vacation with you, who? definitely mady. You can only drink ONE liquid for the rest of your life, what is it? can’t decide between coffee and chocolate milk. (because i am both a grown woman and a child.) Have you ever been nice to someone who treated you like crap? yes. i’m nice to pretty much all people. or at least i try to be. Are you anything like you were at this point last year? now that i think about it, i am actually very different. a lot more open to experience, less lonely, and stronger. and definitely more feminist. Have you lost contact with someone you wish you didn't? yes. When was the last time you felt like your heart was actually breaking? last week. Who are your favorite people to talk to when you’re down? mady. rhonda. and that’s it. Does the person you like, like you back? no such person exists in my life currently. When’s the last time you talked with the opposite gender on the phone? Who? almost three weeks ago. my dad. Do you think you are a good person? i think so. What did you do today? school. grocery shop. study. netflix. What will you be doing in 3 hours? hopefully sleeping. Do you miss the way things used to be? not really. my life has always been mediocre at best. however, i like the person i am becoming in my life right now. Have you held hands with anyone in the past three months? nope. Does anyone call you baby? nope. and no one will because i hate that. Are you a patient person? definitely not. especially when the situation involves stupid drivers. What were you doing this morning at 8AM? sleeping. Have you ever thought you liked someone, and then found out that you really didn’t? this is a weird question because i feel that if you think you like someone, that means you like them. doesn’t matter if you change your mind later. that’s okay. Do you believe ex's can be friends? based on previous experiences, definitely not. What is the last thing you said out loud? “i’ll bring her back outside” - my cat mellie ran into the house when my mom walked in the door Are you ticklish? it always surprises people but nope Has anyone ever mistaken you for someone else? yes. Do you like to text or call more? text. i quite literally never call people. Do you have any kids? nope. and i’d be okay with never having kids. What are you wearing right now? pajama nightie. it has a picture of a yawning coffee cup on it. How was your day? decent. What color are your eyes? sometimes blue. sometimes green. What are you listening to? the audio for a supernatural episode. How are your grades? improving. i was getting almost exclusively C’s for a while, but last semester i could three A’s and a C. Do you like sports? only hockey. and it must be live. the vibe in that arena, man. you can tell i’m a winnipeg jets fan, riiiiiiight?

1/3 I am very blessed. This is a #throwback to exactly three months ago, my 22nd birthday. Yes I turned 22 on a 22 😆 This girl gave me #memories despite me not having plans on my own special day haha. Sometimes, when you don't remember yourself, other people remembering you is a breakthrough in itself. You take a break from life. The routines. The responsibilities. When I turned 22, Elay gave me a break from all that was burdening me. Acads, org, life. But it wasn't just a break. We had our own world together. When I'm with her, I can be who I am when we first met. I was 14 and she was 13. Though 22 is an age where people mostly seek to do more #adulting things, my wish was to revisit my childhood. My birthday was simple but I was really happy and content. We watched Barbie the Rapunzel! Haha! I loved it since I was in Grade 5. (Hello, Beverly!!!!) We sang Constant as the stars above by Jessica Brown. I actually cried. Good thing I'm with a person who will NEVER judge me. To have an Elay in your life is to have someone who, even if you can't see often, you know cares for you and prays for you everyday. I haven't seen her since then, but I can't wait for the next time. I have only seen her twice last year. But we remain close to each other like we always did. She's always a message away. One night last week, I was crying hard. And I couldn't sleep even if I was very sleepy. Then I saw a post and I realized right away, I'm not alone. It's 3AM ish but someone's awake. Someone who cares for me and understands me and stands with me throughout our transition from #teens to #twenties. I messaged Elay. I'm amazed at how she always manages to remind me of my worth even if I only ask for advise or prayers. She's the Christian who doesn't only tell me to pray, she's the sister I can open up my whole heart to. She's the girl who understands my struggles and tells me when to set the limit. She knows my weaknesses, my story, my depression years ago, and she NEVER took advantage of them. She sees the same Christ who lives in me. That night, I slept. Our chats made me sleep. Like we were together. Like it was my birthday again and we had our own world. #stories
