[brutal-nemesis]

I...might have been slightly stalking your page to reread stuff and saw that you like ND games. Which one were you playing last night if you don't mind saying?

HELL YEA NANCY DREW GAMES FUCKIN SLAP

I was playing Secret of the Old Clock! I’ve played it before but something in me just wanted to deliver telegrams and say “oh boy, it’s keen” every five minutes

Miss Clue: Trials of Salem

Ok y’all here is my full first time play-by-play reactions to Miss Clue: Trials of Salem. This includes comparisons to previous Miss Clue games and various Nancy Drew games, including MID. I’ll replay MID with similar reactions and then somehow try and come up with a way to compare them. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to compare are welcome. 

I did drink during this game as I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it actually was, that being said I did get kind of wild towards the end so sorry about that for anyone that’s not on board. I did also try and note out where the Chapters end so people that have played the game could like kind of figure out what was happening? It’s so rambly. Guys I’m so sorry. Just imagine watching movies with me. It’s a lot. There are probably some spoilers in here. Hope you enjoy!

So starting off this playthrough strong, realizing I can’t insult any of my Nancy Drew wine glasses by drinking wine out of them while playing either of these games, sad day.

It’s looking like I haven’t played this game before so this should be fun. 

I hate that I love Pride and Prejudice so much that I love that they just throw it in there even if it’s in a ridiculous way. 

These ghosts out here looking way better than the ghost of the horse in SHA

No mom jeans or horse shirts for Jane Darcy. Her trunk still more fashionable in 1692 than Nancy in 2020.

LANIIII

Ok I’m sorry but she said “Miss True” but it definitely sounded like Miss Drew. I see you Miss Clue. 

Score one for Miss Clue, suggesting a chore to help someone before the game actually introducing the person and implying she needs help aka forcing Miss Clue to do a chore. 

Feeling really weird Bethia is giving me the Deirdre vibes from MID aka always right behind me.

-- End of Chapter 1 Part 1 --

So they released chapters of the game like once a week and like could y’all imagine if HER only gave us half of MID and then was like yeah check back in 5 yrs for the other half??? 

Oh no, time for the first puzzle! 

Yeah it totally makes sense for me to click in the air and zoom in on a trunk ok thanks game. 

When did I pick that up????!

This is slightly repetitive but also kind of therapeutic. I don’t hate it. And they didn’t make me repeat it 30 times. Thank you!!!

-- End of Chapter 1 Part 2 --

Death #1. 

This puzzle was like actually not that bad. Has Miss Clue actually improved??

Also Miss Clue out here like continually thinking of others even while on a case. Mad respect. 

That stupid ass Raven. What ND game does that sound like? 

Started drinking when I see “ghosts” (3) or when the game just makes me go “tf?” (2) 

OH I know the name of that part of the tack is called the bellyband but I don’t know how to tighten it? Sorry lady that man is NOT buying it. 

Also started drinking when she repeats really obnoxious phrases. I get the game is free but gahhh hearing the same line over and over to be like yeah that’s not what you’re supposed to do is just a lot. 

I wish I had a man to give me a massage after I go outside. 

Girl how do you know the phases of the moon?

-- End of Chapter 2 --

Kind of wish I had started drinking every time they said witch. 

Oh yeah Miss Clue English ladies TOTALLY creep into sleeping men’s bedrooms at night. Come on Miss Clue just ride bareback this ain’t worth your reputation as a lady.

Death #2

Is the horse riding animation smoother than SHA? Maybe? 

-- End of Chapter 3 --

Lol THIS puzzle. Did you steal this from HER? Maybe?

Lol death # 3

Wow that was kind of dumb. 

Mrs. Bradbury sounds like a mix of 1995 Lady Catherine DeBourgh and Dame Maggie Smith and I’m like living for it.

Ugh what an A**hole. And also screw the Crown. Ugh some people are so disgusting.

Sir I don’t think God gives a sh*t about preserving society. AKA your stupid hierarchy of meaningless garbage over people.

Navigation has kind of improved from some of the older Miss Clue’s so that’s good. 

TF lady you’re so bossy I thought I did that for you already. 

Actually lady you probably should have locked up the house but just putting on your nightgown and going to sleep is ok too I guess. 

“Ewww, that doesn’t go with today at all!” Ok bish it’s clean and you didn’t wear it yesterday or last night so what do you mean??? But if you’re going to be whiny about it and you won’t wear your nightgown guess I’ll give you literally the only other thing left. 

Janie out here sounding like the mom from Mary Poppins. 

Did I break the game trying to figure out how to do this “puzzle” (we know MID would label it a puzzle)? I think I did. Time to figure out how to restart. 

Did I just teleport? I’m confused. 

How do you know she’s doing better? You didn’t actually see her!!

Wish they would’ve explained the game instead of giving me the history but OK. 

Yeah I have NO idea how to play this game. She’s cheating. WOW I lost and didn’t have to replay. Thank goodness for that!!

-- End of Chapter 4 --

Tbh I really thought this game was going well but now it’s starting to get to me. Can I survive until the end of the game? 

Is it just because I’m super buzzed or super single or both that I like love this guy? Someone send help please. 

Ok I take it back the naviagation here is bad. Also new music, definitely upped the creepy atmosphere so good job. 

I can’t decide if I’m happy we don’t ever have to get Nancy into pajamas before she’ll go to sleep in any of the games or not. Lol can you imagine the games where you can just sleep infintely changing her pajamas like 30 times oh gosh. 

Ok lady you’ll wear that dress now? Because that makes sense. Probably because it’s the only clean one left. I feel like brown doesn’t scream the spirit of freedom you’re trying to give for today but that’s just me I guess. 

WHEN DID I PICK THAT UP!!!!

This is a failed opportunity to make this extra puzzley. But still a puzzle by MID standards. I’m sad I can’t fail and repeat like the mint cookies in DAN. 

HOW IS THAT NOT RIGHT! Yes me clicking repeatedly will make it suddenly right I promise game. Ugh I got ahead of myself reading the recipe. How stupid. But also who measures in inches how much they put in something besides like maybe inches of a stick of butter? I’m so annoyed with this game. 

I would like this horse to be called Bob and her to say “Come on Bob” instead of “Let’s go Runner” or whatever she says to the horse. 

“I hope when your brother gets married he lets his wife name the children.” Woooow

I miss not tightening the harnesses enough so Nancy falls off the horse and dies....

“Let’s see if we can find our way to Judge Corwin’s today” does the path change based on the day Jane? What the h?

Is this Snape? 

EW I hate these guys.

 -- End of Chapter 5 --

 Only one more chapter to go thanks goodness.

Died again. twice. Ok third time’s the charm I’m SURE. 

Also “What are you doing in my swamp?!” comes to mind. 

How many times do I let myself die before I cheat and look up the solution?

WAIT WHAT??!!! I thought I solved it!! This is like death 5 guys this is not ok.

WOOOOOWWW. I missed one click. I can’t deal.

UGH THESE GUYS ARE SO EVIL!!!

And just like that we out bishes. 

Yes lady the groom heard the invisible bell go off as you entered the stables so he just happens to know you returned and he has to deal with the horse....

LOL I thought I got away without solving the puzzle. I didn’t. RIP. 

Minus one for the good guys. Died again.

Lol this animation is maybe only slightly better than the MID ones. But otherwise the rest of the graphics seem to be better than MID. 

No that looks like someone is dead. Does anyone actually sleep with their head covered so they can suffocate? I don’t think so. Ah bonnet sticking out covers that. Nevermind. Also lady you really think these men will know this looks exactly like your bonnet? Hell frickin no. They’re DUDES. And it’s A WHITE BONNET. At night. On a lady who is going to DIE. They literally don’t care at all and would not notice.

I don’t think you should be talking when you’re trying to escape lady. 

Then we got this like Mr. Scrooge looking guy. But good for y’all for actually designing two characters we only see for like 30 seconds instead of doing something shady like the beginning of MID. Not sorry.

Yo they ain’t hiding these peeps at all. I don’t have a lot of faith in them now tbh.

This resolution letter is really not as exciting as actually seeing more of the resolution. 

LOL at least this game left with a teaser for the next game. Although LOL they advertised it’d be out in Feb of 2017 and looks like we are still waiting on it.  Now if HER announces their next game and it sounds similar to “Curse of the devil’s heart” I think they’re going to be screaming “That’s karma” at the Miss Clue people. 

But also, was there really a mystery to this game? I don’t think so. I think this game took me like almost 3 hours to complete though so like not bad? I did kind of know what I was doing though so that helped I think.
