- Welcome to the witching hour, my dears--if you decided to show up for the 3 a.m. publishing of this video that is...you really didn't have to--but thanks!
Now, let's reminisce the whirlwind that a simple newsletter, sent out on April 1st, unfurled among the Nancy Drew Game Community (alias: The Clue Crew).
Southern Sleuth and I agreed, the best way to do said reminiscing was to create a parody song together! Huge shoutout to @SouthernSleuth for not only her brilliance in helping compose the lyrics, but also--
--Just listen to her sing this haunting melody and transform a hypothetical project into a dream! Thanks, Sleuthy!
Another set of 'thank you's to Liv (@gingerhoneylovebeet), and Huw from ND Walkthroughs for letting me utilize some screen recordings of their streams.
Well, enjoy! And if you don't, no worries! I'm sure there's something you might find interesting around here somewhere.

Lyrics:
Hidden hints, seven keys
Trademarked back one October
A new game they did tease
Once upon a newsletter
What a cruel joke, we thought
Then they confirmed, indeed 'tis not
Now we're several months along
Unhinged we spiral on…
Friendships forged
Livestreams born
Solving puzzles together
All since HeR brought us clues
Once upon a newsletter
Roo gives hints within a post
Indy confirms the puzzle solves
'Ghella plays hot and cold
Though non-disclosure holds (then there's Ghost!)
Way back when, we recall
Long before KEY existed
There were thirty-three games
Each a gem we all treasure
Thirty-four, soon we'll play
Once upon a newsletter
This was absolutely amazing! You two did such an amazing job on this song! I loved it 💜💜
This is so creative and so goooooooodddddd!!!!❤
Absolutely stunning! What a great way to celebrate the amazing rollercoaster ride we've been on since April!! Bravo ladies!!! 💜
This is amazing! You both did such an amazing job on this song! 💙💙
This is unbelievably good, thank you ❤
I've gotta say, your username is fantastic!
That was nice. Well done. It was really well edited and sung.
Fantastically done in every way! Bravo, ladies. And I ADORE Anastasia, so you couldn’t have picked a better song for a parody.
That was hauntingly beautiful and the lyrics are SO clever, especially the main line "Once upon a newsletter." I noticed the change in the map at the end. Well done all around! I love this so much! I really want to hear this style of singing for the real song now. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love this! 🎉Well done Hotchkiss! An excellent tribute to the community. Lol, my fave line was the "unhinged we spiral" 😂
I'm so glad you like it! 'Twas an absolute blast to create
I’m thinking this is the new melody for the twins 🎉🎉
I am so happy I got to be a part of creating this! You blew it out of the water, Hotchy. 🐾🐾🐾🐾
Sleuthy, it was such a joy to work with you on this project. Absolutely inspiring to hear you sing, I could not have come up with this without you!
i’m on my third time listening (in a row) and omg this is EVERYTHING
We’ll burn it onto a CD for you all old school 😂😂
I- I can't. Too many big feels. 💜 This is such a gift, Squid! Thanks for loving it 🥰
This video was just so amazing and such a phenomenal tribute to this community and everything that has happened over the last several months!!! So excited about this and am so thankful for this!!
I love that you were in the correct timezone for the premiere 😅
@@SouthernSleuthI had just woken up, it was the best way to start the day!
Great video! If anyone asks for a summary of what's happened with the Clue Crew I'll send them this and watch them be even more confused 😂 I also just realized how similar that haunting looks to this scene in Anastasia!
The only thing we’re missing is Bartok!
@@SouthernSleuth AND I'D KICK 'ER, SIR!
...truly a legend.
Besties, this is SO GOOD 🥺💛 You did phenomenal with this. So proud to be a small part of what you produced!
Teamwork! 😊
Thanks for giving us the literal last piece of the puzzle! Chaos streams are just what a Hotchkiss needs to stir the caldron and stoke the fire!
This is so amazing and I love how it tells the story of the new game while loving on the old ones! :D I love it so much!
Why thank you! I can't take credit for all of the singing though-the melody was sung by the lovely Southern Sleuth, and she has the perfect voice for this type of project! I hope to collaborate with her more in future 💜
Why am I getting emotional 😭💖
You're not emotional, I'm emotional 😅💜
It’s like the SpongeBob F-U-N song. You just can’t help yourself. 🥹
First! 😂
NO. Jail. The auDACITY. You weren't even in the live chat 😂😂 Not fair bwahahaha
The witching hour was chosen just so Cameron had a shot at being first 😂😂😂
