I was born and raised in Hawai'i, so seeing this game is interesting; I appreciated the inclusion of the native plants (naupaka is one of my favorites; it blooms in halves, so putting two naupaka flowers together make a full flower) and mythology. I also loved the background noises (i.e., the birds chirping) because it's exactly how it sounds like during certain times of the day (like early in the morning). I am not Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) but I am a fellow Pacific Islander (CHamoru/Palauan). I was reading through the comments and want to thank those who are sharing what they know about Hawai'i's history and other problems (such as the water contamination via the Red Hill tanks); it's neat to see an increasing awareness of the issues the local communities are facing (and the lead-up to those issues). For example, I grew up knowing Hawai'i used to be the Kingdom of Hawai'i, but learned in high school that the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, Queen Liliʻuokalani, was forced to abdicate her throne, held under house arrest in her room at Iolani Palace and was not allowed visitors (except for one companion of hers). If you visit the palace, you are able to see her room and the quilt she created during this arrest. Iolani Palace's website has more information on this, should you want to learn more (I am not an expert on the timeline or all events in Hawai'i's history, but want to share educational resources that may be helpful). For those who want or plan to visit the islands in the future (or want to support the local communities here), please consider supporting the small, local, BIPOC-owned (especially Kānaka-owned) businesses and local initiatives + organizations. A few of my personal favorites are Ao Organics Hawai'i (ethical and sustainable skin + body care), Laulima Hawai'i (focuses on native plant restoration + conservation), Popoki + Tea (cat cafe' that allows people to visit and adopt the in-house cats, who are all rescue cats), and Mai Hilahila (Kānaka and wahine-owned apparel business that promotes "shameless self-love and empowerment"). If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read my comment. I hope you have a beautiful day!
Wow now I have to research out the monarchs story bc I don't know much about Hawaii and it's history. Along with the red hill tanks. Thanks for sharing this!
I recently visited Hawaii and when I heard the chirping of the zebra dove I said “ah, there’s that sound” and then I realized I’d never heard it in real life before! I had only heard it in this game. I’m glad they put in authentic bird sounds.
I'd be interested in visiting to support the origin of one of my favorite types of coffee (coffee is a big deal for me). I find it's story and folklore beautiful, especially in some of the art. Recently Hawai'i popped up in an investigation I'm working on involving a self-proclaimed group of cult members getting arrested and kicked out of Hawai'i. They go under the name Carbon Nation and approx. 12 of it's members were arrested and kicked out. This was during initial COVID quarantine protocols but also, following similarly to another cult who showed up and had it's leader essentially state she was Pele', they were hugely disrespectful to the locals beliefs and history discrediting it with their own self-serving woo. They are parasitic and I hope this trend stops at those instances. Preservation of culture and it's natural history is immensely important and to lose that whether to delusional cults or the consequences of war can be infuriating and certainly heartbreaking.
I remember playing this one as a kid and still being puzzled as to what frass was. Then in college, I had an internship in which I had to work with caterpillars and butterflies and I actually had to count frass. Then it all came back to me. Nancy Drew has prepared me for so many random things in life, I swear LOL
Nancy Drew first appeared in "The Secret of the Old Clock", by Edward Stratemeyer, in 1930, and her age was given as 16 in that story. That means this year she is 108 years old.
@@Theonlygracius Edward hired her to ghostwrite the books under that pseudonym, but other people have written Nancy Drew books under that same pseudonym. He still kinda “created” Nancy Drew, although she probably would’ve been pretty lame if he wrote them. Only reason he made Nancy Drew was because he thought it would sell, since he saw that girls also read his other books, the Hardy Boys. He wanted to make one specifically for the girls, even though in reality he thought the “woman’s place was in the kitchen” or whatever. Glad he got an actual woman to write her instead. Though, his views are probably the reason Hannah was always sent to kitchen in the first few books. I know too much about the books, sorry, I just had to infodump a bit. It’s been years since I thought about it though, there’s probably so many things I don’t remember.
@@clementineethenoz657legal driving age in the US, though you can get a permit as young as 13 if you live in a rural area. The majority of the US has car-centric infrastructure making it difficult or impossible to get around without a car
I may not understand WHY I love watching Gab play these old games that I never played myself, but I absolutely do! My only concern is that we will someday run out of them n__n;
An hour in and I suddenly was having flashbacks to this game and remembering how negative I found Nancy in this game! I always loved bugs so I could not get my head around her not being into this entire trip. Looking at it from an adult POV, Nancy faced enough inconveniences in this one to put anyone in a bad mood regardless of what you're meant to be doing. All while not even getting paid! XD
oh, yes. dr. kim was insufferable. like it made me genuinely angry. nancy isn't even paid, but dr. kim expect her to read her mind and do everything and THEN dr. kim have the audacity to blame nancy for thing that are NOT nancy fault. i really hate adults like this.
Gab, you’re kinda right to assume that Hawaii was its own country because technically, it was. The Americans used it as a military base first, hence Pearl Harbor, to fight the Japanese during WWII, and then, as with everything we do, we took Hawaii and annexed it into the US in the mid 50s.
This game was the first time I heard the word “frass”, and when I finally took an entomology class I one of those moments of “Hey, I learned that from Nancy!” I feel like there’s always at least one thing like that in each game that sticks in your brain as a fun fact. It’s also cool to revisit this game after many years and lots of reading about bugs because Dr. Kim’s rambling went from overly-sciency to “oh, okay, that makes sense”.
Hawaii is its own country, America illegally claimed it and it's even had court cases that ruled in Hawaii's favor and still nothing has been done to remove Hawaii from American rule. It's abhorrent how America treats Hawaii and natives are asking people to stop visiting for tourism because of the awful treatment of natives there. An example I heard about is that natives are being fined for using water but tourist locations can use as much water as they want. Freedom for Hawaii!!
Natives ask that you ask locals for places to visit. They want you to be respectful to them and the islands. They really want for tourism to not be capitalized, especially because of the water issues. Water issues were caused by the government, recent oil spill, and the tourism water.
Yeah I heard they turned off the water for natives or had them rolling out. So they could suport the water needed for stupid resorts. Hawaii is illegally occupied and they’re displacing natives.
Hawaii is an American state and belongs to the people of the United States of America. We would no more accept or allow Hawaii to be taken from us than we would New York, California, Florida or Alaska to be taken.
@@dlrightnow - it would be considerably be way more difficult to "take away" most of those states you just listed compared to hawaii because of geographical location, it belongs to the people who are native to Hawaii, not the people of the US who tried to wipe out and exploit their culture for profit
Here we goooo! :D - This game lets you change the look of the UI in the settings menu! You could've had green leafiness or pink or teal hibiscus flowers. And the cell phone becomes a silver Razr if you use one of those looks. (This game came out in October of 2006, so that would mean Nancy had a very cool phone!) - Pretty sure Frank's voice was also Andy Jason of Whale World. - When I replayed this before the stream, that was the first time I'd ever realized you can click to the left of the dock's stairs to check for shells instead of going around to the right. - Camera phones make some parts of these games *so* much easier. You can just take pictures of all the plant info instead of having to sketch the plants or try to write down what they look like. [grumble grumble back in my day...] - Dr. Craven would be almost 80 years old now. It's always weird to me to figure out the ages of characters now compared to when I first played the games. - When Craven tells the employee to put the solar cells in your car, they magically show up in your inventory before you actually get to your car. They probably figured nobody would open their inventory while still inside the Hilihili. - ATAC (American Teens Against Crime) has its own cell network, apparently. - There's a glitch for making money when you first play as Joe! You can talk to Mike about everything except leaving the office, make two Aloha necklaces, buy the Goo bait, go fish, and enjoy infinite Zippy bait for a while. You just have to stop and go talk to Mike before you get a sixth ulua because I think that breaks the game. - The Zippy family empire has expanded from gas stations to international phone cards and now to... worms. - It turns out Nancy isn't the only tactless teen detective. You can't just ask "what happened to Pua's mom?" so abruptly, lol. - I used to have a recording of the Wiki Tiki song on an old cell phone because it made me happy. :D - If you talk to Pua while you're still Joe, she mentions that Frank hasn't tried standing up on his surfboard yet, which Joe finds amusing. - I love that Pua's nail polish matches her clothing. Fashion icon! - The acacia leaves remind me of Doc Ock, lol. That's what I wrote in my notes for them. - The way I usually get money in this game is to just buy the Goo bait. Necklaces are annoying and you can pretty much only make Aloha ones without buying other beads (until you can snorkel but at that point there's no real need for money anyway). I do really like the "red herring" bait, though. It's cute. - When you were giving Big Island Mike a bunch of shave ice, someone in chat said they hoped he would get a Big Island brainfreeze and I actually laughed out loud. - For that turtle/volcano timeline puzzle, the palm tree is also helpful to consider. Props to you for figuring that out so quickly/easily! - Johnny Kuto can call you back, though I'm not sure why he didn't for you. You can kind of bluff for a while and get him to admit he's working with/for Mike, but he eventually realizes you don't know what you're talking about. - The end "puzzle" is super dumb, tbh. In junior mode, MIke is a big island dummy and isn't likely to escape before you, but something about senior mode makes it so that the rock right before your exit just doesn't want to show up. I played it on senior and it seriously took me like 20 minutes of trying because I couldn't get that dang rock to appear. Blargh. This stream was totally worth being awake at 6 AM after getting less than an hour of sleep! Looking forward to Icicle Creek! (I replayed that one last night and Steam says it took me 5.2 hours.)
I did the math once, and assuming you aren't trying to dive for any shells, Dancing Lizard gets you the most profit at $6,75. Even though you need to buy most of its beads! Next is Thunder Cloud at $6,67 profit. Next Aloha at $4 (which is the no-buy- necklace). Dance of Pele gets you $3,67. Shark Bite and Bird of Paradise aren't worth it, although they still give you profit. Of course you usually don't finish a whole bag of beads on one necklace, so to make all the money back you have to make multiple necklaces, but those are the cost-per-bead profit numbers.
I literally screamed "NEW NANCY DREW VIDEO!!!" LMAO. Because of you Gab, watching you play Nancy Drew is always a fun time for me. I binged/rewatched the series by clicking on one random gameplay from you, then got hooked. I can't wait for more!
I hope more people will play these games because of your series 😭 As a long time fan and avid ND player I NEED this series to get more support. So very scared HER is gonna pull the plug and I encourage everyone to buy these games and play them too
I know a lot of people hate this game because of all the busy work, but I used to love playing this game in the winter so I could pretend I was somewhere warm. I traveled vicariously through Nancy since we never took vacations.
One of my most distinct memories of this game is playing it during an *enormous* rainstorm! I had to take a break to help my dad kind of bail out our driveway, lol. The driveway sloped down and water was collecting right in front of the garage because the drain was semi-clogged with peanut shells from squirrels. 😆
Personally, as an American, I want Hawai'i to be able to reclaim itself from us. Americans and Tourists are making life hard for them. It's not fair. As much as I want to go, I fear adding to their tourist problem. So I just admire from afar.
Yeah. I'd LOVE to go to Hawaii but I also know and see about how they are trying to stop people from visiting; it gets way too many tourists as is so I can only admire from afar. A lot of beauty there, sad state of affairs for the natives. I remember watching a documentary video about it; how the gov is supposed to give them homes/land and they just keep putting it off (and will likely continue to do so until the generation dies out and they no longer owe them anything)
Same. I hope maybe they'll get to own their own island. I really wish the U.S. didn't occupy so many places across the world. But I have always wanted to see Hawaii because I heard it is very beautiful.
Who's "Them"? All citizens in Hawaii are Americans who have the same rights and responsibilities as citizens in any other state. We would no more accept or allow Hawaii to be taken from the American people than we would allow New York, California, Florida or Alaska to be taken from the American people.
@@dlrightnow Hawaii was forcibly taken just because the U.S. thought it would be a strategic place to have a military presence. It didn't have a corrupt government as far as I am aware and the U.S. absolutely didn't need to have it.
I use your Nancy Drew playlist as my sleep playlist because it's so chill and I can follow along with my eyes closed until I drift off to sleep. I'm glad you're having fun playing them and I hope you keep playing!
I love Hawaiian mythology, there are so many fun and strange stories, but I would have to say that my favorite story is how they explain the creation of coconuts. In which an eel gets head chopped off and put in the ground... (major summarizing of the story) I would Highly suggest looking into Hawaiian mythology if anything in this game peaked your intrest!
“I killed an eel, I buried its guts! Spouted a tree now you’ve got coconuts! What’s the lesson what is the take away don’t mess with maui when he’s on a breakway!”
1:04:15 Hawaii is known for pineapples, but those were brought over to Hawaii with colonization. Native Hawaiians were enslaved on plantations to cultivate it.
Pineapples aren't actually native to Hawaii! They're originally from Brazil, but grew so well in Hawai'i and were so popular that they just took off. So "Hawai'ian Pizza" is actually Brazilian!
He’s holding his breath while snorkeling because he’s diving under to look at the things. Wouldn’t wanna breathe in water. If he was diving he wouldn’t have to, but while snorkeling you breath through the snorkel, which is a short tube, so if you under you have to take that out and hold your breath. The sounds made me so nervous too though.m, and I’ve been snorkeling my whole life.
As a biologist in Hawai'i, I was horrified by the trailer for this game and the generic Polynesian statue imagery, but insanely impressed by what it actually incorporates. The typical Nancy Drew odd fantastical elements aside, it was not inaccurate. The native and invasive plants were spot on, and the unique people who find their way into science and how they compete are based in reality. The way research is portrayed is really accurate while staying age appropriate for the audience (though most of us would kill for funding that could give us facilities like THAT). The predatory way Nancy was taken advantage of as an inexperienced but enthusiastic novice whose vacation became grunt work was too real. At the beginning, the tour guide and his daughter do an excellent job implying the realities of living here. There's even some interesting connections to land theft issues with "leased" land. I will say, it's pretty backwards to portray the pineapples as worth saving and the people trying to reclaim what is theirs as the bad guys, but for how old this is, I am really impressed by how they portrayed a lot of this. Dr. Kim's character has me dying with laughter. Now that is an entomologist. Her cheap, broken field equipment and narrowly focused, unhinged enthusiasm is a perfect (and real) contrast to the elitist, privately-funded bioengineer.
HER Interactive always put so much research and effort into these games! Gab’s commentary on the Japan one, Shadow at the Water’s Edge, makes me so proud to be a HER fan!
The Menehune are said to be forest spirits, protecting Hawaii’s jungles from harm. There was a photo captured where one got spotted sticking her head out from behind a tree, wishing the newly married pair well.
Growing up Fatal Frame and Nancy Drew were my favorite games! Im so glad I found this channel! It’s everything I love and then some! Thanks for being such a welcoming person/community :)
These games are my childhood. It's so much fun to see Gab play these games for the first time. Makes me wish I could do the same all over again. Watching her play brings back all the good memories :)
This was literally my first of the Nancy Drew games that I ever played when I was young! My cousin introduced me to these and it started a life long addiction to games in general! 🤣 I'm so happy to see you playing them! Feel like Nancy Drew and Herinteractive in general just really needed some love! So glad I found you to watch your so relaxing to watch!
As an American that learned relatively recently about the wacky awful shit we pulled with Hawaii, it SHOULD be its own country. We need to leave them alone.
I Loved playing the Nancy Drew games with my sisters (though I was pretty much a backseat gamer since they didn’t allow me to play), I’m playing some of them again now. I think the design of the Hardy Boys was good in Last Train to Blue Moon. So it was odd to them redesigned in this game. I know I played the game with my sisters but still I thought they looked the same. Still all fans here who haven’t played the games, I highly recommend you play them whether you have kids and you backseat gamer with them or you play it on your own time. HER Interactive need your support.
I can't believe I 'm done watching the Nancy Drew Playlist T_T. I began binge-watching this series last weekend and now it's over (for now of course). Nancy Drew was often mentioned during other playthroughs that I had to give it a chance and I totally loved it! Especially learning so many interesting facts/stories alongside Gab, plus the voice acting and the scripts are always so good
I loved all of the Nancy Drew games as a teen and played them with my nieces and nephew every time I babysat! Once I had my daughter, and she was old enough, she and I would play in the summertime! Nancy Drew is always a fun time! Btw, CALL NED BACK!
I just wanna say I'm so glad to have come across your content. so cozy and comforting. you've helped me sleep as well as feel less alone while I'm drawing. thank you for your consistency, they've saved me!
Yay!! This was my first ever Nancy Drew game. It took me and my sister years to finish because we were so young but it was all worth it because it gave me some of my favorite childhood memories with her. It was mostly my sister solving the mystery and me making shave ice and necklaces lol. I’m so happy you posted this today because I’m used to playing Nancy Drew games with my sister so watching you play is like sitting next to my big sister playing this game again! I’m gonna share this video with her, she’ll love it. Thanks Gab💕
This was the only Nancy Drew game I played to completion as a kid. I'm looking at some of the puzzles you're doing and thinking 'how the heck did i figure that out as a teen with no guides?' Also, I am tickled by the fact that you are so excited for the next game primarily because of the Game Grumps meme.
I grew up playing these games with my sister, it was one of the few things we bonded over. I think we stopped at Danger by Design, that’s the last one I remember playing anyway. Watching you play these brought back a lot of good memories of where me and my sister would constantly wrack our brains trying to solve puzzles and think who the culprit might be. Thanks for making these, it was fun to watch.
Whoa, that is the smartest way I’ve seen anyone solve the flavor ice puzzle! When I was a kid, I just guessed wildly, then memorized the answer for future playthroughs. (Once, my friend guessed it right on the first try, and I was furious/impressed.) Anyway, great job and great stream!
All I remember from playing this game as a kid was that I loved being able to switch between the guys and Nancy, and also that I played this game on a trackpad and the arcade game was IMPOSSIBLE on trackpad haha
YESS! iVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! I know its one of the less popular ND games, but I still really like it and its perfect for summer. I hope you play Ransom of the Seven Ships too even though its discontinued! You need the full Nance experience lol! Thanks for playing these as always. I look forward to them with much excitment :D
dude I remember playing this before we had anything to take pictures with and we would either need to repeat sections multiple times to get all the info, write everything down, or have my siblings repeat it to remember while you rushed to the next spot
Yes! I've been waiting! You got me into these games/this franchise, and it wouldn't feel right to me to watch someone else's playthrough before yours. Thanks for staying with this series, it's been so much fun!
Finally caught up to the latest Nancy drew video! I’ve been listening to your gameplays for the past few weeks while working and even though I can’t watch them, it was still entertaining to listen to. It was like listening to a podcast! The faces of the characters always don’t match what I envisioned in my head (along with the locations and such) whenever I get a chance to look at the video which always catches me off guard 😂 and even though I can’t see the puzzles, hearing you and the chat figure things out is always enjoyable! Hope to see more Nancy drew gameplays in the future (: thanks for the content!
38:39 I could do nothing but sit back and watch while you totally breezed through that puzzle. I could never do math that quick.. I feel like this is one of those puzzles that my Mom would've had to help me with lol
fun fact of the day: a Canadian invented Hawaiian pizza. it's gets the name from the fact that Hawaiian pizza has ham and pineapple as the main toppings, too common ingredients in some popular Hawaiian food and often associated with Hawaii.
This game was my first introduction to Nancy Drew (books or game) when I was about 8 years old and it led to my head first diving into games. So fun to reminisce with you Gab! I'm loving your Nancy Drew playthroughs and seeing your reactions to some of my favorite memories surrounding games!
I grew up on Nancy Drew games, they have such a special place in my heart. I hadn’t seen your channel before but your Secret of the old clock gameplay popped up and I decided to check it out. Now I love your channel you are so wonderful!! Watching you play Nancy Drew games is so fun and comforting to me, it feels like replaying them with a friend. The last few weeks this video series has actually gotten me out of a few depression ruts. I don’t know why I just really love these videos thank you for playing such an old under appreciated series 🤍
So enjoyed this stream! Always love watching (and rewatching lol) your Nancy playthroughs! Next is the White Wolf of Icicle Creek, which is one of my favorites. So excited for you to get to play it!! :)
I love every Nancy Video! This is one of the games I had trouble getting through without online help so I’m excited to see someone who is better at these games play this 😂
I actually kinda enjoyed the idea of switching between the Hardy boys and Nancy. I'd love a Hardy boys game made by Her interactive... But they're kinda out of commission
Did that one professor even have to pay for the whole camp and equipment he destroyed? Bc he should be sued for that and repaying not only the equipment but also hours of work that went into the notes and stuff dr. Quigley made. Also kinda creepy but did he know about her not being in the camp beforehand, bc if you think about how angry he was and that he just went in the night to destroy her things, who knows what he might have done if she was there… Generally always the ppl with “oh but he’s a genius”, no genius can be eccentric at most but that is full on scary.
I was half-listening to the video while working (your voice calms me down hihi) and that stardew fishing sound tiggered me and suddenly brought 100% of my attention to the video hahaha
I liked this one, but the most exciting part for me was the preview for the next one. Considering the setting is practically my backyard, I'm intrigued XD
Oh, you actually missed some of the dialogues. For example after you leave a message for a thieve, he will call back and explain why did he knocked out Joe, you just need to spend some time doing something after Frank leaves message for this call to initiate. I actually didn't know you can finish game without some this dialogues.
Kapu Cave is infamously one of the most hated games in the franchise (there's three games that contend for that spot - Kapu Gave, Midnight in Salem, and one you haven't gotten to yet, I won't say which one cos that wouldn't be fair to put a negative out there before you get to give it a fair shake...but also its the one I think is actually the worst, since kapu cave at least has interesting learning wrapped into it and Midnight in Salem came with severe disadvantages from the get go so I'm willing to be a bit more lenient with it), so I'm glad you had fun with it anyway.
This game was kind of a let-down/misleading. The trailer said it was gonna have a “terrifying monster” and the title even said there was a creature… but there wasn’t anything close to that in the game. The only that was remotely intense was the stealth section in the facility and the bit in the store when the guy attacks you. There was no “terrifying creature”. Should’ve just been called “Kapu Cave Caper”
Right before Gab typed “fingies” I had said it out loud haha. Same wavelength made me laugh. I love your play throughs! It makes these games so interesting and fun.
i didn’t know the real meaning of kahuna until this game and now i’m going through the 5 stages of grief😭 out of all the hawaiian words people could have picked, kahuna was the one to turn into slang?!?!
Just started watching this play through, but that intro cinematic of watching that camp being trashed, via items flying around was so ridiculous to watch, but amusing. Looking at comments, and excited to see the rest of this play through. I’ve been watching a lot of these Nancy Drew games and I’m very likening to it now. I grew up reading “The Boxcar Children” mysteries, so I never got particularly into the Nancy Drew books, even though both series are almost the same age. (Boxcar started in the 40s)
Nancy Drew uploads are my absolute favorite, makes my autistic brain tingle with nostalgia ❤ also was impressed with your math skills on the solar panel puzzle, you were so fast and I need to use my fingers to count 😂
My theory is that Nancy drew is only a great detective bc she’s nosy as hell. Like her in the Japan one was just wow girl. Snoop through peoples shit and go above & beyond. And spends all her days without chilling just snooping. I could be great detective too if I did that.
I get so excited each time you upload a new ND!!! i love watching you play through them! The "I think NOT!!" from the Incredibles edit cracked me up lol
I cant believe I miss the stream! I wanted to join this one because I am Hawaiian and I know A LOT of the mythology. I’m sad. But I’m glad to watch it here! And this is “based” on the island I live on.
43:48 Hahaha, I was just listening to this in the background but suddenly tuned in when Big Mike said wāhine because my brain went "te reo!" Languages are cool.
Be me Be on medical leave recovering from carpal/cubital surgery for two weeks Binge all of Gab’s ND game playthroughs while recovering A brand new one drops the last day of my leave Thank you Gab!
Not even watching the video, but I had to come here for this: That thumbnail reminded me of Temple Run from old school nickelodeon, who else remembers that show? Shit was fun
I was born and raised in Hawai'i, so seeing this game is interesting; I appreciated the inclusion of the native plants (naupaka is one of my favorites; it blooms in halves, so putting two naupaka flowers together make a full flower) and mythology. I also loved the background noises (i.e., the birds chirping) because it's exactly how it sounds like during certain times of the day (like early in the morning).
I am not Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) but I am a fellow Pacific Islander (CHamoru/Palauan). I was reading through the comments and want to thank those who are sharing what they know about Hawai'i's history and other problems (such as the water contamination via the Red Hill tanks); it's neat to see an increasing awareness of the issues the local communities are facing (and the lead-up to those issues). For example, I grew up knowing Hawai'i used to be the Kingdom of Hawai'i, but learned in high school that the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, Queen Liliʻuokalani, was forced to abdicate her throne, held under house arrest in her room at Iolani Palace and was not allowed visitors (except for one companion of hers). If you visit the palace, you are able to see her room and the quilt she created during this arrest. Iolani Palace's website has more information on this, should you want to learn more (I am not an expert on the timeline or all events in Hawai'i's history, but want to share educational resources that may be helpful).
For those who want or plan to visit the islands in the future (or want to support the local communities here), please consider supporting the small, local, BIPOC-owned (especially Kānaka-owned) businesses and local initiatives + organizations. A few of my personal favorites are Ao Organics Hawai'i (ethical and sustainable skin + body care), Laulima Hawai'i (focuses on native plant restoration + conservation), Popoki + Tea (cat cafe' that allows people to visit and adopt the in-house cats, who are all rescue cats), and Mai Hilahila (Kānaka and wahine-owned apparel business that promotes "shameless self-love and empowerment").
If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read my comment. I hope you have a beautiful day!
Okay I’m h
Be we
Wow now I have to research out the monarchs story bc I don't know much about Hawaii and it's history. Along with the red hill tanks. Thanks for sharing this!
I recently visited Hawaii and when I heard the chirping of the zebra dove I said “ah, there’s that sound” and then I realized I’d never heard it in real life before! I had only heard it in this game. I’m glad they put in authentic bird sounds.
I'd be interested in visiting to support the origin of one of my favorite types of coffee (coffee is a big deal for me). I find it's story and folklore beautiful, especially in some of the art. Recently Hawai'i popped up in an investigation I'm working on involving a self-proclaimed group of cult members getting arrested and kicked out of Hawai'i. They go under the name Carbon Nation and approx. 12 of it's members were arrested and kicked out. This was during initial COVID quarantine protocols but also, following similarly to another cult who showed up and had it's leader essentially state she was Pele', they were hugely disrespectful to the locals beliefs and history discrediting it with their own self-serving woo.
They are parasitic and I hope this trend stops at those instances. Preservation of culture and it's natural history is immensely important and to lose that whether to delusional cults or the consequences of war can be infuriating and certainly heartbreaking.
I remember playing this one as a kid and still being puzzled as to what frass was. Then in college, I had an internship in which I had to work with caterpillars and butterflies and I actually had to count frass. Then it all came back to me. Nancy Drew has prepared me for so many random things in life, I swear LOL
Nancy Drew first appeared in "The Secret of the Old Clock", by Edward Stratemeyer, in 1930, and her age was given as 16 in that story. That means this year she is 108 years old.
Edward did the outline. The book, along with the series, was written by Carolyn Keene, which was a pseudonym for her real name, Mildred Wirt
.
That's assuming the book was set contemporarily.
@@Theonlygracius Edward hired her to ghostwrite the books under that pseudonym, but other people have written Nancy Drew books under that same pseudonym. He still kinda “created” Nancy Drew, although she probably would’ve been pretty lame if he wrote them. Only reason he made Nancy Drew was because he thought it would sell, since he saw that girls also read his other books, the Hardy Boys. He wanted to make one specifically for the girls, even though in reality he thought the “woman’s place was in the kitchen” or whatever. Glad he got an actual woman to write her instead. Though, his views are probably the reason Hannah was always sent to kitchen in the first few books. I know too much about the books, sorry, I just had to infodump a bit. It’s been years since I thought about it though, there’s probably so many things I don’t remember.
How could have she been driving at 16 ?

why did i feel so bad for ned when nancy cut his cute phone call off bc she saw the hardy boys 💀
Truly I don’t know why the makers of the Nancy games make her out to be a terrible girlfriend to Ned. She treats him terribly in these games lol
she likes the double sausage from the hardy boys
No wonder in Midnight in Salem (I think that's the game), he gets jealous of the Hardy Boys
It’s not just the games. Ned has gotten jealous of the Hardy Boys in the Nancy Drew Case File books before too.
I may not understand WHY I love watching Gab play these old games that I never played myself, but I absolutely do! My only concern is that we will someday run out of them n__n;
she's got 15 games left in the nancy drew series, so you got a while
Tell Her Interactive to keep them coming!
They still making new Nancy Drew games if I remember correctly, so don’t think we’ll run out soon c:
There's a new one in development right now 😁
Yeah! I’m excited to Mystery of the Seven Keys!
An hour in and I suddenly was having flashbacks to this game and remembering how negative I found Nancy in this game! I always loved bugs so I could not get my head around her not being into this entire trip. Looking at it from an adult POV, Nancy faced enough inconveniences in this one to put anyone in a bad mood regardless of what you're meant to be doing. All while not even getting paid! XD
One might say that she was being
A Negative Nancy
Ok I'll show myself out 🚶
Personally, I think I’d be OK with studying bugs as long as it was inside! I don’t think I could do that while outside surrounded by them lol
oh, yes. dr. kim was insufferable. like it made me genuinely angry. nancy isn't even paid, but dr. kim expect her to read her mind and do everything and THEN dr. kim have the audacity to blame nancy for thing that are NOT nancy fault. i really hate adults like this.
Gab, you’re kinda right to assume that Hawaii was its own country because technically, it was. The Americans used it as a military base first, hence Pearl Harbor, to fight the Japanese during WWII, and then, as with everything we do, we took Hawaii and annexed it into the US in the mid 50s.
And it's much better off now.
@diamonm854 said by some grub on his computer. Weirdo loser
Most people don’t want to be ruled by foreign powers
This game was the first time I heard the word “frass”, and when I finally took an entomology class I one of those moments of “Hey, I learned that from Nancy!” I feel like there’s always at least one thing like that in each game that sticks in your brain as a fun fact.
It’s also cool to revisit this game after many years and lots of reading about bugs because Dr. Kim’s rambling went from overly-sciency to “oh, okay, that makes sense”.
Hawaii is its own country, America illegally claimed it and it's even had court cases that ruled in Hawaii's favor and still nothing has been done to remove Hawaii from American rule. It's abhorrent how America treats Hawaii and natives are asking people to stop visiting for tourism because of the awful treatment of natives there. An example I heard about is that natives are being fined for using water but tourist locations can use as much water as they want. Freedom for Hawaii!!
I wish America took my country instead of Hawaii
Natives ask that you ask locals for places to visit. They want you to be respectful to them and the islands. They really want for tourism to not be capitalized, especially because of the water issues.
Water issues were caused by the government, recent oil spill, and the tourism water.
Yeah I heard they turned off the water for natives or had them rolling out. So they could suport the water needed for stupid resorts.
Hawaii is illegally occupied and they’re displacing natives.
Hawaii is an American state and belongs to the people of the United States of America. We would no more accept or allow Hawaii to be taken from us than we would New York, California, Florida or Alaska to be taken.
@@dlrightnow - it would be considerably be way more difficult to "take away" most of those states you just listed compared to hawaii because of geographical location, it belongs to the people who are native to Hawaii, not the people of the US who tried to wipe out and exploit their culture for profit
Here we goooo! :D
- This game lets you change the look of the UI in the settings menu! You could've had green leafiness or pink or teal hibiscus flowers. And the cell phone becomes a silver Razr if you use one of those looks. (This game came out in October of 2006, so that would mean Nancy had a very cool phone!)
- Pretty sure Frank's voice was also Andy Jason of Whale World.
- When I replayed this before the stream, that was the first time I'd ever realized you can click to the left of the dock's stairs to check for shells instead of going around to the right.
- Camera phones make some parts of these games *so* much easier. You can just take pictures of all the plant info instead of having to sketch the plants or try to write down what they look like. [grumble grumble back in my day...]
- Dr. Craven would be almost 80 years old now. It's always weird to me to figure out the ages of characters now compared to when I first played the games.
- When Craven tells the employee to put the solar cells in your car, they magically show up in your inventory before you actually get to your car. They probably figured nobody would open their inventory while still inside the Hilihili.
- ATAC (American Teens Against Crime) has its own cell network, apparently.
- There's a glitch for making money when you first play as Joe! You can talk to Mike about everything except leaving the office, make two Aloha necklaces, buy the Goo bait, go fish, and enjoy infinite Zippy bait for a while. You just have to stop and go talk to Mike before you get a sixth ulua because I think that breaks the game.
- The Zippy family empire has expanded from gas stations to international phone cards and now to... worms.
- It turns out Nancy isn't the only tactless teen detective. You can't just ask "what happened to Pua's mom?" so abruptly, lol.
- I used to have a recording of the Wiki Tiki song on an old cell phone because it made me happy. :D
- If you talk to Pua while you're still Joe, she mentions that Frank hasn't tried standing up on his surfboard yet, which Joe finds amusing.
- I love that Pua's nail polish matches her clothing. Fashion icon!
- The acacia leaves remind me of Doc Ock, lol. That's what I wrote in my notes for them.
- The way I usually get money in this game is to just buy the Goo bait. Necklaces are annoying and you can pretty much only make Aloha ones without buying other beads (until you can snorkel but at that point there's no real need for money anyway). I do really like the "red herring" bait, though. It's cute.
- When you were giving Big Island Mike a bunch of shave ice, someone in chat said they hoped he would get a Big Island brainfreeze and I actually laughed out loud.
- For that turtle/volcano timeline puzzle, the palm tree is also helpful to consider. Props to you for figuring that out so quickly/easily!
- Johnny Kuto can call you back, though I'm not sure why he didn't for you. You can kind of bluff for a while and get him to admit he's working with/for Mike, but he eventually realizes you don't know what you're talking about.
- The end "puzzle" is super dumb, tbh. In junior mode, MIke is a big island dummy and isn't likely to escape before you, but something about senior mode makes it so that the rock right before your exit just doesn't want to show up. I played it on senior and it seriously took me like 20 minutes of trying because I couldn't get that dang rock to appear. Blargh.
This stream was totally worth being awake at 6 AM after getting less than an hour of sleep! Looking forward to Icicle Creek! (I replayed that one last night and Steam says it took me 5.2 hours.)
I did the math once, and assuming you aren't trying to dive for any shells, Dancing Lizard gets you the most profit at $6,75. Even though you need to buy most of its beads! Next is Thunder Cloud at $6,67 profit. Next Aloha at $4 (which is the no-buy- necklace). Dance of Pele gets you $3,67. Shark Bite and Bird of Paradise aren't worth it, although they still give you profit. Of course you usually don't finish a whole bag of beads on one necklace, so to make all the money back you have to make multiple necklaces, but those are the cost-per-bead profit numbers.
I literally screamed "NEW NANCY DREW VIDEO!!!" LMAO. Because of you Gab, watching you play Nancy Drew is always a fun time for me. I binged/rewatched the series by clicking on one random gameplay from you, then got hooked. I can't wait for more!
I hope more people will play these games because of your series 😭 As a long time fan and avid ND player I NEED this series to get more support. So very scared HER is gonna pull the plug and I encourage everyone to buy these games and play them too
I know a lot of people hate this game because of all the busy work, but I used to love playing this game in the winter so I could pretend I was somewhere warm. I traveled vicariously through Nancy since we never took vacations.
One of my most distinct memories of this game is playing it during an *enormous* rainstorm! I had to take a break to help my dad kind of bail out our driveway, lol. The driveway sloped down and water was collecting right in front of the garage because the drain was semi-clogged with peanut shells from squirrels. 😆
Personally, as an American, I want Hawai'i to be able to reclaim itself from us. Americans and Tourists are making life hard for them. It's not fair. As much as I want to go, I fear adding to their tourist problem. So I just admire from afar.
Yeah. I'd LOVE to go to Hawaii but I also know and see about how they are trying to stop people from visiting; it gets way too many tourists as is so I can only admire from afar. A lot of beauty there, sad state of affairs for the natives. I remember watching a documentary video about it; how the gov is supposed to give them homes/land and they just keep putting it off (and will likely continue to do so until the generation dies out and they no longer owe them anything)
Same. I hope maybe they'll get to own their own island. I really wish the U.S. didn't occupy so many places across the world. But I have always wanted to see Hawaii because I heard it is very beautiful.
Who's "Them"? All citizens in Hawaii are Americans who have the same rights and responsibilities as citizens in any other state. We would no more accept or allow Hawaii to be taken from the American people than we would allow New York, California, Florida or Alaska to be taken from the American people.
@@dlrightnow Hawaii was forcibly taken just because the U.S. thought it would be a strategic place to have a military presence. It didn't have a corrupt government as far as I am aware and the U.S. absolutely didn't need to have it.
@@dlrightnow why do you care so much about this? I saw you in another comment defending the occupation of Hawaii, kind of a weird thing to defend…
Nancy Drew upload days really are my favorite. I just got under my covers with ice cream to watch you solve another one!
I use your Nancy Drew playlist as my sleep playlist because it's so chill and I can follow along with my eyes closed until I drift off to sleep. I'm glad you're having fun playing them and I hope you keep playing!
Fun fact: Hawai’i *was* its own country until the US annexed it in 1898.
Yay greedy Americans 😬👍
I love Hawaiian mythology, there are so many fun and strange stories, but I would have to say that my favorite story is how they explain the creation of coconuts. In which an eel gets head chopped off and put in the ground... (major summarizing of the story) I would Highly suggest looking into Hawaiian mythology if anything in this game peaked your intrest!
“I killed an eel, I buried its guts! Spouted a tree now you’ve got coconuts! What’s the lesson what is the take away don’t mess with maui when he’s on a breakway!”
I'm Cherokee and we have something similar to the Menehune! We call them "Little People." They can be really helpful or REALLY unhelpful
I loved the stardew fishing sound effect when you caught the first fish at 46:46!
1:04:15 Hawaii is known for pineapples, but those were brought over to Hawaii with colonization. Native Hawaiians were enslaved on plantations to cultivate it.
Pineapples aren't actually native to Hawaii! They're originally from Brazil, but grew so well in Hawai'i and were so popular that they just took off.
So "Hawai'ian Pizza" is actually Brazilian!
Though it's even more actually Canadian, if we're gonna 'correct' it, because that's where it was created (by a Greek immigrant, I believe...)
Gotta say the voice actor for Big Mike and Quigley both did a really great job!
He’s holding his breath while snorkeling because he’s diving under to look at the things. Wouldn’t wanna breathe in water. If he was diving he wouldn’t have to, but while snorkeling you breath through the snorkel, which is a short tube, so if you under you have to take that out and hold your breath. The sounds made me so nervous too though.m, and I’ve been snorkeling my whole life.
As a biologist in Hawai'i, I was horrified by the trailer for this game and the generic Polynesian statue imagery, but insanely impressed by what it actually incorporates.
The typical Nancy Drew odd fantastical elements aside, it was not inaccurate. The native and invasive plants were spot on, and the unique people who find their way into science and how they compete are based in reality. The way research is portrayed is really accurate while staying age appropriate for the audience (though most of us would kill for funding that could give us facilities like THAT). The predatory way Nancy was taken advantage of as an inexperienced but enthusiastic novice whose vacation became grunt work was too real. At the beginning, the tour guide and his daughter do an excellent job implying the realities of living here. There's even some interesting connections to land theft issues with "leased" land. I will say, it's pretty backwards to portray the pineapples as worth saving and the people trying to reclaim what is theirs as the bad guys, but for how old this is, I am really impressed by how they portrayed a lot of this.
Dr. Kim's character has me dying with laughter. Now that is an entomologist. Her cheap, broken field equipment and narrowly focused, unhinged enthusiasm is a perfect (and real) contrast to the elitist, privately-funded bioengineer.
HER Interactive always put so much research and effort into these games! Gab’s commentary on the Japan one, Shadow at the Water’s Edge, makes me so proud to be a HER fan!
Last night I was staring at Gab's channel like, "Please Gab, I need the next Nancy Drew game!" I'm starting to think I'm psychic 😅 Thank you Gab!
"You think the wolf is causing the accidents?" IM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
I think Gab would really enjoy Alibi in Ashes, that's one of my favorite Nancy games
Every time I see an upload with ND, I get really excited to learn about a new game I've never played/seen for the series
I literally just caught up on all the others after finding you from Danger By Design. I'm so excited. Perfect timing
The Menehune are said to be forest spirits, protecting Hawaii’s jungles from harm. There was a photo captured where one got spotted sticking her head out from behind a tree, wishing the newly married pair well.
My cat loves when you play Nancy, she keep looking at the cursor for so long😂
Growing up Fatal Frame and Nancy Drew were my favorite games! Im so glad I found this channel! It’s everything I love and then some! Thanks for being such a welcoming person/community :)
Gab is so. adorable. The head bobbing when you were catching the fish was hilarious.
Mahalo is thank you. Aloha is hello and goodbye. Wahine is girl. I lived there for three years for work. Lovely people, beautiful place.
These games are my childhood. It's so much fun to see Gab play these games for the first time. Makes me wish I could do the same all over again. Watching her play brings back all the good memories :)
This was literally my first of the Nancy Drew games that I ever played when I was young! My cousin introduced me to these and it started a life long addiction to games in general! 🤣 I'm so happy to see you playing them! Feel like Nancy Drew and Herinteractive in general just really needed some love! So glad I found you to watch your so relaxing to watch!
As a fellow european and current teenager, this is how I found out that Hawaii isn't its own country.
As an American that learned relatively recently about the wacky awful shit we pulled with Hawaii, it SHOULD be its own country. We need to leave them alone.
Who the heck ruined the surprise that the hardy boys were here lol 🙃 I wanted to see her reaction when she found out 😭
Yea stuff like that is why I find it hard to watch streamers sometimes. Too many people are eager to spoil surprises in games for no good reason
I Loved playing the Nancy Drew games with my sisters (though I was pretty much a backseat gamer since they didn’t allow me to play), I’m playing some of them again now. I think the design of the Hardy Boys was good in Last Train to Blue Moon. So it was odd to them redesigned in this game. I know I played the game with my sisters but still I thought they looked the same.
Still all fans here who haven’t played the games, I highly recommend you play them whether you have kids and you backseat gamer with them or you play it on your own time. HER Interactive need your support.
I can't believe I 'm done watching the Nancy Drew Playlist T_T. I began binge-watching this series last weekend and now it's over (for now of course). Nancy Drew was often mentioned during other playthroughs that I had to give it a chance and I totally loved it! Especially learning so many interesting facts/stories alongside Gab, plus the voice acting and the scripts are always so good
I played all of these games at points in my life that are just beyond my memory’s reach. It’s so nice to watch you play them all
I loved all of the Nancy Drew games as a teen and played them with my nieces and nephew every time I babysat! Once I had my daughter, and she was old enough, she and I would play in the summertime! Nancy Drew is always a fun time!
Btw, CALL NED BACK!
STATE YOUR BUSINESS OH IT'S YOU 🤣🤣 That got me.
I just wanna say I'm so glad to have come across your content. so cozy and comforting. you've helped me sleep as well as feel less alone while I'm drawing. thank you for your consistency, they've saved me!
Yay!! This was my first ever Nancy Drew game. It took me and my sister years to finish because we were so young but it was all worth it because it gave me some of my favorite childhood memories with her. It was mostly my sister solving the mystery and me making shave ice and necklaces lol. I’m so happy you posted this today because I’m used to playing Nancy Drew games with my sister so watching you play is like sitting next to my big sister playing this game again! I’m gonna share this video with her, she’ll love it. Thanks Gab💕
This was the only Nancy Drew game I played to completion as a kid. I'm looking at some of the puzzles you're doing and thinking 'how the heck did i figure that out as a teen with no guides?' Also, I am tickled by the fact that you are so excited for the next game primarily because of the Game Grumps meme.
I grew up playing these games with my sister, it was one of the few things we bonded over. I think we stopped at Danger by Design, that’s the last one I remember playing anyway. Watching you play these brought back a lot of good memories of where me and my sister would constantly wrack our brains trying to solve puzzles and think who the culprit might be. Thanks for making these, it was fun to watch.
Whoa, that is the smartest way I’ve seen anyone solve the flavor ice puzzle! When I was a kid, I just guessed wildly, then memorized the answer for future playthroughs. (Once, my friend guessed it right on the first try, and I was furious/impressed.) Anyway, great job and great stream!
YESSSSS! I had a crappy day and I am READY in my cozy sweater and to watch Gab play Nancy Drew! Thanks Gab!
All I remember from playing this game as a kid was that I loved being able to switch between the guys and Nancy, and also that I played this game on a trackpad and the arcade game was IMPOSSIBLE on trackpad haha
YESS! iVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! I know its one of the less popular ND games, but I still really like it and its perfect for summer. I hope you play Ransom of the Seven Ships too even though its discontinued! You need the full Nance experience lol! Thanks for playing these as always. I look forward to them with much excitment :D

The more ive thought about it the more I realize I really like and appreciate this game, it may even be in my top 5
Literally been binge watching all the other Nancy Drew's. Super excited for this!
dude I remember playing this before we had anything to take pictures with and we would either need to repeat sections multiple times to get all the info, write everything down, or have my siblings repeat it to remember while you rushed to the next spot
Yes! I've been waiting! You got me into these games/this franchise, and it wouldn't feel right to me to watch someone else's playthrough before yours. Thanks for staying with this series, it's been so much fun!
Finally caught up to the latest Nancy drew video! I’ve been listening to your gameplays for the past few weeks while working and even though I can’t watch them, it was still entertaining to listen to. It was like listening to a podcast! The faces of the characters always don’t match what I envisioned in my head (along with the locations and such) whenever I get a chance to look at the video which always catches me off guard 😂 and even though I can’t see the puzzles, hearing you and the chat figure things out is always enjoyable! Hope to see more Nancy drew gameplays in the future (: thanks for the content!
38:39 I could do nothing but sit back and watch while you totally breezed through that puzzle. I could never do math that quick.. I feel like this is one of those puzzles that my Mom would've had to help me with lol
fun fact of the day:
a Canadian invented Hawaiian pizza. it's gets the name from the fact that Hawaiian pizza has ham and pineapple as the main toppings, too common ingredients in some popular Hawaiian food and often associated with Hawaii.
This game was my first introduction to Nancy Drew (books or game) when I was about 8 years old and it led to my head first diving into games. So fun to reminisce with you Gab! I'm loving your Nancy Drew playthroughs and seeing your reactions to some of my favorite memories surrounding games!
I grew up on Nancy Drew games, they have such a special place in my heart. I hadn’t seen your channel before but your Secret of the old clock gameplay popped up and I decided to check it out. Now I love your channel you are so wonderful!! Watching you play Nancy Drew games is so fun and comforting to me, it feels like replaying them with a friend. The last few weeks this video series has actually gotten me out of a few depression ruts. I don’t know why I just really love these videos thank you for playing such an old under appreciated series 🤍
So enjoyed this stream! Always love watching (and rewatching lol) your Nancy playthroughs! Next is the White Wolf of Icicle Creek, which is one of my favorites. So excited for you to get to play it!! :)
I wonder if she will like fox and geese
Mine too! Can't wait til she gets to it~
I love every Nancy Video! This is one of the games I had trouble getting through without online help so I’m excited to see someone who is better at these games play this 😂
I psychically said out loud “WOO” when i saw this uploaded
I actually kinda enjoyed the idea of switching between the Hardy boys and Nancy.
I'd love a Hardy boys game made by Her interactive... But they're kinda out of commission
I love that you play these. I still play them on my old computer from my childhood. Just finished this one.
Gab uploads a new Nancy vid:
I am SPEED
I laughed so hard when Dr. Craven woke up from the tablet noises. The editing there is great. 😂
Did that one professor even have to pay for the whole camp and equipment he destroyed? Bc he should be sued for that and repaying not only the equipment but also hours of work that went into the notes and stuff dr. Quigley made.
Also kinda creepy but did he know about her not being in the camp beforehand, bc if you think about how angry he was and that he just went in the night to destroy her things, who knows what he might have done if she was there…
Generally always the ppl with “oh but he’s a genius”, no genius can be eccentric at most but that is full on scary.
I was half-listening to the video while working (your voice calms me down hihi) and that stardew fishing sound tiggered me and suddenly brought 100% of my attention to the video hahaha
I am so excited for another Nancy Drew game with Gab. I so look forward to these.
I liked this one, but the most exciting part for me was the preview for the next one. Considering the setting is practically my backyard, I'm intrigued XD
Oh, you actually missed some of the dialogues. For example after you leave a message for a thieve, he will call back and explain why did he knocked out Joe, you just need to spend some time doing something after Frank leaves message for this call to initiate.
I actually didn't know you can finish game without some this dialogues.
Kapu Cave is infamously one of the most hated games in the franchise (there's three games that contend for that spot - Kapu Gave, Midnight in Salem, and one you haven't gotten to yet, I won't say which one cos that wouldn't be fair to put a negative out there before you get to give it a fair shake...but also its the one I think is actually the worst, since kapu cave at least has interesting learning wrapped into it and Midnight in Salem came with severe disadvantages from the get go so I'm willing to be a bit more lenient with it), so I'm glad you had fun with it anyway.
it's been 3 days since I finished watching this and I still have "WiKi TiKi" and Joe's "WWwuuOOOaaAahh" repeating in my brain like idle sound effects
Was having such a stressful day and then I saw this upload and felt it all met away! My favorites!!
This game was kind of a let-down/misleading. The trailer said it was gonna have a “terrifying monster” and the title even said there was a creature… but there wasn’t anything close to that in the game. The only that was remotely intense was the stealth section in the facility and the bit in the store when the guy attacks you. There was no “terrifying creature”. Should’ve just been called “Kapu Cave Caper”
Right before Gab typed “fingies” I had said it out loud haha. Same wavelength made me laugh. I love your play throughs! It makes these games so interesting and fun.
i didn’t know the real meaning of kahuna until this game and now i’m going through the 5 stages of grief😭 out of all the hawaiian words people could have picked, kahuna was the one to turn into slang?!?!
Just started watching this play through, but that intro cinematic of watching that camp being trashed, via items flying around was so ridiculous to watch, but amusing.
Looking at comments, and excited to see the rest of this play through.
I’ve been watching a lot of these Nancy Drew games and I’m very likening to it now. I grew up reading “The Boxcar Children” mysteries, so I never got particularly into the Nancy Drew books, even though both series are almost the same age. (Boxcar started in the 40s)
24:38 DAMMIT, his blog is an actual person’s old fan acct on Tumblr
Nancy Drew uploads are my absolute favorite, makes my autistic brain tingle with nostalgia ❤ also was impressed with your math skills on the solar panel puzzle, you were so fast and I need to use my fingers to count 😂
I am from Russia and I learn English with your videos)
He held his breath because he was taking dives down while snorkeling
My theory is that Nancy drew is only a great detective bc she’s nosy as hell. Like her in the Japan one was just wow girl. Snoop through peoples shit and go above & beyond. And spends all her days without chilling just snooping. I could be great detective too if I did that.
And her affinity to read every random book she comes across haha
I get so excited each time you upload a new ND!!! i love watching you play through them! The "I think NOT!!" from the Incredibles edit cracked me up lol
2:28:26 that was such a raw line
I live in constant fear of the day we run out of Nancy drew games for gab
I cant believe I miss the stream! I wanted to join this one because I am Hawaiian and I know A LOT of the mythology. I’m sad. But I’m glad to watch it here! And this is “based” on the island I live on.
43:48 Hahaha, I was just listening to this in the background but suddenly tuned in when Big Mike said wāhine because my brain went "te reo!" Languages are cool.
Might just be because it was the first Nancy video I saw of Gab's but for some reason this has become one of my comfort videos
Be me
Be on medical leave recovering from carpal/cubital surgery for two weeks

Thank you Gab!
The ice Lodge was such a fun game because wolves was beautiful
As a Canadian I will sadly admit yes we invented pineapple pizza back in 1962 but I live where the sauce flows brown and the donairs are plentiful
I still remember that strange confrontation with the criminal from Danger by Design. One of the weirdest villains from the series, that's for sure.
One of the weirdest villains *yet* you mean. :D
Not even watching the video, but I had to come here for this: That thumbnail reminded me of Temple Run from old school nickelodeon, who else remembers that show? Shit was fun
Coffee and Nancy on a Friday 🥳 *chef's kiss*
Can't wait for you and Nancy Drew to come to Canada next month.

YAYYYY. Gab playing Nancy drew fuels my soul
