@@patricktaylor488 I don’t know if you’re joking. I started playing the games bc I found out I have Parkinson’s two weeks ago, and these are good to exercise my mind. I’ll be super cautious about clicking dialogue 😅
@@katjosephperez8772 there’s only a couple games in the ND series that have this kind of mechanic thankfully (I remember in Trail of the Twister, Nancy can offer characters candy/cheese but it doesn’t do anything) you can re-challenge characters on games but usually you can back out halfway through so it doesn’t trap you in an extremely long animation sequence
Nancy has no chill, I died when she asked "Are you sure you're an engineer?" after feeling insulted that Ingrid told her to eat peanut butter on wheat toast 😭
@@elvingearmasterirma7241I've realized she's a savage in the final scene. especially towards brady and simone those two clowns. also I can't get over how savage she was towards Anja and openly taunted her multiple times.
@@kayhaven4710 i dont think theres really anything wrong with that game. besides there only being on viable culprit. And the ball game. And underwater sudoku
Had my mom watch this video AND SHE STILL REMEMBERS HOW TO WRITE SHORT HAND IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. I love my mom. She was a secretary for a sugar cane company for 35 years and then worked as a paralegal as well. She is amazing. She was air writing in short hand Welcome, she even wrote your name, Gab. I'm dead.
This was the first Nancy Drew game I every played when I was 8 or 9. I didn't know about hint websites then and I could NOT figure out the shorthand puzzle. I remember asking my mom if she knew shorthand and she said yes and asked why. She was able figure it out and help me progress in the game xD
I could also not figure out the stenography puzzle and just gave up on the whole game.😂 Plus child me was so paranoid that there were gonna be jumpscares or super scary stuff
I love your Nancy streams so so much! I really appreciate that you take the games seriously, read everything, and appreciate the writing and voice acting. Not to mention you are SO good at the puzzles, it honestly blows my mind. Thank you for this lovely wholesome relaxing content!
This stream was at like 6:30 AM my time and I set an alarm to be there but my body said NOPE, haha. Now for the fun facts I would've put in chat if I'd been there live... - If you try to ignore Harlan's request to go meet him in the whale at the beginning, he'll say some silly stuff: "Hello? Yoo-hoo! The whale is waiting..." and "The whale is getting impatient..." :D - You can fall off the carousel while trying to grab the ring. I think it happens if you click too far to the right because the game treats that as Nancy lunging off the horse to reach, haha. You get sent home for doing that. - That clipboard in Barnacle Blast had notes from Nick F. and he wrote that he had to "fight the power." Coincidence? Or perhaps our friend Nick Falcone has HADIT with being an activist and works as an engineer in the park now. - There's a scarlet handprint on the door to exit the roller coaster. Henrik, is that you?! - If you poke the button on the blue remote thing while you're still under the carousel, the horses above start moving and Nancy has to get out of the way or else she gets skewered, lol. - Barnacle Blast was also playable in the diner from Secrets Can Kill! They let you move the paddle using your mouse in that version and it's way easier that way. - There's a receipt on the floor in Elliot's studio that shows the purchase of a ton of bass wood. Hm, isn't bass wood one of the kinds that's really good for making carousel horses? Iiiinteresting... - If you talk to Harlan after your argument but before you make up, he says he doesn't want to talk because his back is sore from someone stabbing it. Oof. - The music during the post-game phone message for Bess is from Ghost Dogs! And the dog on Joy's notepad sure looks a lot like one of Malone's lil buddies, hm? That's my information dump for this game. :P Can't wait for you to investigate Deception Island! Whales ruuuuule!
The remastered version of Secrets Can Kill references every Nancy Drew game that was out at that point! That's one of my absolute favorite things in the whole series :)
@@fenerliuzun4476 nancys voice actress is Lani Minelli. as far as im aware she wasnt in fallout 2 but was in both Last of Us games and played the Sea Emperor in Subnautica :)
I grew up in New Jersey and I love the attention to detail in this series. The phone number area codes, themes, towns mentioned, etc is actually real and so cleverly baked into this nancy drew game. So cool!
Eveline's Nancy Drews and HOGs are my most watched TH-cam videos. I've watched all of them many times. I'm so glad she does them. Not many other TH-camrs do. They're so relaxing. The picture doesn't bounce around till I feel nauseous. Plus, I get to find objects and solve puzzles and find murderers. What's not to love?
Display through was very well done. I am a completely blind individual, and I typically like game play Throughs to have no commentary, but your comments do not interrupt or cover up the flow of the game. Fantastic!
@@nilahfay1650 I find that games where there is no commentary are not very easy to follow if the game itself does not have a lot of dialogue going on. Hidden object games for example, need to have commentary with them in order for somebody with no site do you have a chance of understanding what is going on. Games that play out like a movie are much easier to follow with or without commentary. So I guess I’m saying, that it depends on the game, as well as the TH-camr who is playing that game. I hope I made some sense in my explanation.
A "red tag" is a lockout device or notice used when there is a danger. Houses can be red tagged if they are at risk of collapse, and equipment can be red tagged if they are so broken they could kill you or cause a ton of damage. What a fun game!
Construction equipment actually uses a system usually called "lock out tag out" where you cant turn on a machine when there is a tag on it. The tag signifies that someone is inside of or near the machine to repair it or any other reason. This way no one turns on something like a rock crusher while someone is inside of it.
Ahh this was my first ever Nancy Drew game! I got it for Christmas when I was like 8 and fell in love. Now I'm 25 and have played nearly every game haha
This game was a huge party of my childhood. It uses to scary the crap out of me and I still wait to put away the iron until it has fulling cooled because I was tramazited after burning down the hotel. I love that your playthroughs!!
"May I see that tape of the carousel 'haunting' again?" You know, since you got my mind on LoZ games- this reminds me exactly of the owl in Ocarina of Time. At the end of you spamming the A button to get through the dialogue, he asks "would you like to hear that again?" And the first option is "yes", so he says it all...*again.*
Watching you play Nancy Drew is like reliving my childhood! Some of my favorite memories were of me, my mom, and my younger sister all huddled around the computer in the dark, trying not to get spooked by a jump scare.
Listening to you talk about your parents and the whole "back in my day" thing made me laugh. My dad especially likes to say that and rattle off something. Like buying pop for a Nickel or dime. Walking up hill both ways to school etc. Just a wholesome moment 😌
This was my first Nancy Drew game YEARS ago. I remember being so proud after all of that studying of shorthand and figuring out the horse's name. My number one personal gaming moment as I solved it all on my own. It was a trip down memory lane watching you figure it out too!
2:14:45 not Nancy lecturing Harlem about spying on co-workers when she's literally using the code that he recorded to break into the workshop all the time AND she also broke into his locker earlier. I can't with this woman 😅
I don’t know why but you’re ability to solve puzzles so well is extremely satisfying and if you were a teacher I think I’d really learn a lot. I like to try and follow what you’re doing but it’s a little bit more difficult for me to understand 😅 but it’s still so satisfying watching you solve them regardless

I seriously regret not learning shorthand when I was in high school (it was one of the "secretary" type classes they still offered). It would have made taking notes in college so much easier. This game has an amazing amount of learning in it. I love the Nancy Drew and HOG games you play. The stories are always fun, and relazing to watch. Thanks for playing them. Really appreciate them!
I taught myself a much more simplistic, non-phonetic version called Teeline when I was in 10th grade. I couldn't read a single thing I wrote down afterwards.
My grandmother was a secretary back in the day and an expert on shorthand and typing. Even outside of work when she jotted down grocery lists and such she would use shorthand. Also, when she typed, she could be looking at me and holding a conversation but be typing at a super high rate with no errors.
As a woman who's had a few kids I can say that watching this particular video while needing to pee is not the way to go. Almost had an accident after Gab watched the haunted carousel tape for like the 6th time XD Had to giggle every time she did that.
The Gregg shorthand is what my mother leaned in high school! When I was growing up, she always wrote our Christmas and birthday gifts down on a list in shorthand so no one else in the house could read it but she also could leave it lying around! Been trying to get her to teach me for years (just think how quickly you could take notes in school!). I think we still have her textbooks form school somewhere...
I wonder how common haunted carousel legends are. I had one in my home town that had mirrors around the sides, and there was a myth that if you looked into the mirrors while riding, you could sometimes see ghosts riding on unoccupied horses next to yours.
Fun fact: A majority of the journal entries in Bram Stoker's Dracula are written in stenography by the characters. Thankfully they're written in English for the readers. Lol
When Joe Hardy kept saying “well boys and girls” he sounds just like Ryan Reynolds and it was throwing me off cause I just had this on as background noise 😂
Can I just say, even though Gab will never see this, I am so thankful that she plays the Nancy Drew games. I grew up playing these with my sister and started a TH-cam channel solely dedicated to these games but ended up giving up as I just don't have the time or motivation to keep to it. It's great to see these games get the appreciation and recognition they deserve! They will always hold a special place in my heart. Gab just needs to upload or stream Legend of the Crystal Skull for Halloween now!!! Much love
My grandmother bought me this when I was like 7 or 8 years old and I honestly had never played a Nancy Drew game in my life and got so confused! I eventually ended up just giving up on it, so I'm glad to finally see the outcome of the game.
This is the only Nancy Drew game I’ve ever played! I lost in the first 5 minutes because I left the iron on, burned down the hotel, and got fired. After this game I started checking carousel horses for names. So far, no names have been found and I’m disappointed in these craftsmen.
This one was my first and I still remember the melody after 17 years…❤️ It seemed so hard back then but now it looks so easy. You can’t even imagine how much time it took to solve the riddle with the micro-resister!
for those more curious, check kiting is better described as somebody will deposit a check, the bank will give them a portion of the check while they verify it, that person will withdraw those funds, and then the check returns but they still have that money. more specifically, this happens when it’s multiple checks. if you deposit a lot of checks before the bank notices, you can get a lot but banks are getting better at catching it and closing the account before they’re able to do a bunch.
I had this game when I was a kid! I only remember little parts of it because even just that clip of the carousel going on its own terrified me back then. I'm so happy that I got to see you play it as now I know what the game was about after all these years! So much nostalgia!!!
Ohhh, I loved this one sooo much!! Gabs, you have been one of my very much needed comfort spots for the last two years. Watching you is fun and relaxing. Thanks for that from Germany 🤗🌷
Check kiting is when you write a 100 dollar check to yourself even though you have only 50 dollars in the bank. It was more common before everything was digitized. Now if you go to deposit a check you put in your card and they know all your info as you deposit the check and the funds show right away. It used to be that banks would have to cross reference records with one another with no database. You could go from bank to bank depositing checks to yourself and cashing them and probably get away with it for a while. Today you would be caught almost instantly.
My mom went to school for secretarial work and worked for years in this field, she knew stenography and it always impressed me! Sometimes wasn't helpful when she used it to write out lists!
My work schedule keeps me from being able to catch your streams now but I always appreciate you uploading them to your channel. And I’m glad you’re playing more Nancy drew games! I’m trying to play all the games in order so it’s always fun to see others enjoying the games too
I've been having such a hard time lately and was literally so excited to see a new Nancy Drew video from Gab! Watched almost 2 hours so far, it's been so fun - Nancy Drew games are supplying me with a lot of random trivia I literally bring up in conversation these days lol I'm going to surprise and amaze my friends with my new knowledge on historic Carousel Horse styles >xD
I have been so excited for this upload! This one and Treasure in the Royal Tower were the two that introduced me to the series, so they hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the chill vibes and wonderful content, Gab
YESSSSSSS I am so happy! I've been waiting for more Nancy Drew and you posted on the day of my final presentation, so this is like an end of semester present to me, thank you Gab :)
editors! we need a counter of how many times gab plays the carousel video XD!!! also, my parents met through a traveling carnival. my mom was a security guard, my dad ran the carousel. they flirted with each other by ringing his hand bell when the ride started. a few months later, they were married, nov 22nd, they just celebrated their 38th anniversary. and then they found out they were having me the month after they got married.
Gab, I came across your Nancy Drew videos and I love them! Someone mentioned it below: it's so nice to see you taking them seriously, reading, snooping, having fun with them! The ND franchise is dear to lots of us and it makes me feel like a little girl again watching you play. Your videos are great to relax while drinking a nice cup of coffee.
I've missed watching you play HOG/ND games so much, this has made my day. Also, I'm pretty sure that my aura is literally just a black hole with the amount of carbs I eat XD
I just finished binge watching the entirety of the Nancy Drew playlist so this video came out at the perfect time! And my computer decided to go on a strike for some reason so I haven't been able to play this game for myself either so this is extra nice to have a new episode of Nancy Drew from you :)
53:55 *damm the nostalgia this game gave me, in high school i do electronics the resistor puzzle was easy here, we do similar puzzle but only with a manual what resistant every color line makes and you need to find the correct combination of colors and the correct order and search the one from 100 resistors box*
I absolutely love how sassy Joe Hardy is in this one 😂 "well, boys and girls, can you say 'insurance fraud'?" and "new word, boys and girls! Motive!" Has always gotten me to giggle since I was a teen.
46:09 A couple years ago, I needed to have a minor surgery and had some general blood work done to make sure I was healthy. Everything came back great... except for vitamin D. It was March in central Illinois in the US. Right at the end of winter, when I'd spent 95% of my days inside.
Flashbacks to my high school days in an all girls catholic school where they used to teach typewriting and stenography. I remember my mom being so fast at reading and writing in short hand and I was in awe. And to be fair, it's easier in spanish because we sound every letter!
This one has always been one of my fav Nancy Drew games!! I love all the history and I've always been fascinated with carousels. Love your content, Gab!!
41:27 “we’ve watched this five times now!” Just wait, just you wait.. Ingrid reminds me of a more direct version of charlotte from life is strange: true colors, charlotte’s one of my favorite characters so it’s cool! 1:47:39 Sean appearance!
Yayyyy whenever I see a new ND stream from gab it makes me so happy to see someone experiencing these games for the first time. I've played through them a million times
I can’t believe this game doesn’t have a couple jumpscares. It’s just set up too perfectly! PS: if you want good carnival jump scares, check out the game The Park!
Games 9 through 13 (Danger on Deception Island through Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon) are some of the best! You're going to have so much fun with these next few! Last Train is tied for my #1 favorite
Tbh, I never really liked these games and never wanted to watch a play through but you turned it all around for me, with your fun commentary I was fully engaged!! I hope you have a great day! 😊
In the 60s and 70s, my grandmother used to be a secretary, so she was able to write stenography. She showed me some of it when I was a kid and I was just as confused as you haha
Oh man, I remember playing this with my mom and messing with the ironing board, only to get the "game over" a few minutes down the line because apparently, just leaving an iron plugged in and facing very flammable wallpaper is a bad idea. Who woulda thought? Anyways, thanks for the Nancy Drew playthroughs, this was my childhood and it's great to relive it! :D
Omg same! Except I did it as an adult 😭
I also did this as a kid and bawled my eyes out thinking I hurt people in the hotel. I needed my mum to sit and play with me for the rest of the game
I accidentally burned it down after the lemon juice note. 😅
My mom laughed and told me “See, you be careful with those things.”
The real curse of the carousel is how many times she had to watch the security footage
2 hours and 30 minute video, the original stream had another 2 hours of carousel footage
@@patricktaylor488 I don’t know if you’re joking. I started playing the games bc I found out I have Parkinson’s two weeks ago, and these are good to exercise my mind. I’ll be super cautious about clicking dialogue 😅
@@katjosephperez8772 there’s only a couple games in the ND series that have this kind of mechanic thankfully (I remember in Trail of the Twister, Nancy can offer characters candy/cheese but it doesn’t do anything) you can re-challenge characters on games but usually you can back out halfway through so it doesn’t trap you in an extremely long animation sequence

This is so sweet, what a lovely memory!! ❤️
Same! i had no clue what I was doing! Now I want to get the game again and play. 😂
I could never get past the monster costume in the haunted house to open the door because I was too scared lmao
@@austinpowers343 SAME 😂 the haunted house always freaked me out
I could also not figure out the stenography puzzle and just gave up on the whole game.😂
Plus child me was so paranoid that there were gonna be jumpscares or super scary stuff
Drinking Game: Every time Gab accidentally watches the haunted carousel tape again, take a shot
pretty sure you'd get alcohol poisoning 😂
I love your Nancy streams so so much! I really appreciate that you take the games seriously, read everything, and appreciate the writing and voice acting. Not to mention you are SO good at the puzzles, it honestly blows my mind. Thank you for this lovely wholesome relaxing content!
This stream was at like 6:30 AM my time and I set an alarm to be there but my body said NOPE, haha. Now for the fun facts I would've put in chat if I'd been there live...
- If you try to ignore Harlan's request to go meet him in the whale at the beginning, he'll say some silly stuff: "Hello? Yoo-hoo! The whale is waiting..." and "The whale is getting impatient..." :D
- You can fall off the carousel while trying to grab the ring. I think it happens if you click too far to the right because the game treats that as Nancy lunging off the horse to reach, haha. You get sent home for doing that.
- That clipboard in Barnacle Blast had notes from Nick F. and he wrote that he had to "fight the power." Coincidence? Or perhaps our friend Nick Falcone has HADIT with being an activist and works as an engineer in the park now.
- There's a scarlet handprint on the door to exit the roller coaster. Henrik, is that you?!
- If you poke the button on the blue remote thing while you're still under the carousel, the horses above start moving and Nancy has to get out of the way or else she gets skewered, lol.
- Barnacle Blast was also playable in the diner from Secrets Can Kill! They let you move the paddle using your mouse in that version and it's way easier that way.
- There's a receipt on the floor in Elliot's studio that shows the purchase of a ton of bass wood. Hm, isn't bass wood one of the kinds that's really good for making carousel horses? Iiiinteresting...
- If you talk to Harlan after your argument but before you make up, he says he doesn't want to talk because his back is sore from someone stabbing it. Oof.
- The music during the post-game phone message for Bess is from Ghost Dogs! And the dog on Joy's notepad sure looks a lot like one of Malone's lil buddies, hm?
That's my information dump for this game. :P Can't wait for you to investigate Deception Island! Whales ruuuuule!
Malone’s lil pup’s are four of the best characters from any of the Nancy drew games, prove me wrong.
The remastered version of Secrets Can Kill references every Nancy Drew game that was out at that point! That's one of my absolute favorite things in the whole series :)
This voice acting from Nancy cracks me up every time. Love her
I think Nancy was voiced by the same voice actor who voiced Lynette the First Citizen(Overseer) of Vault City in Fallout 2. I might be wrong though!

@@aspenm2576 whaaaat, really ?
I grew up in New Jersey and I love the attention to detail in this series. The phone number area codes, themes, towns mentioned, etc is actually real and so cleverly baked into this nancy drew game. So cool!
Eveline's Nancy Drews and HOGs are my most watched TH-cam videos. I've watched all of them many times. I'm so glad she does them. Not many other TH-camrs do. They're so relaxing. The picture doesn't bounce around till I feel nauseous. Plus, I get to find objects and solve puzzles and find murderers. What's not to love?
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Gab: "Can I see that tape of the carousel 'haunting' again?"
Lol
Display through was very well done. I am a completely blind individual, and I typically like game play Throughs to have no commentary, but your comments do not interrupt or cover up the flow of the game. Fantastic!
How is your auditory experience with video games? I would love to learn more.
@@nilahfay1650 I find that games where there is no commentary are not very easy to follow if the game itself does not have a lot of dialogue going on. Hidden object games for example, need to have commentary with them in order for somebody with no site do you have a chance of understanding what is going on. Games that play out like a movie are much easier to follow with or without commentary. So I guess I’m saying, that it depends on the game, as well as the TH-camr who is playing that game. I hope I made some sense in my explanation.
@@MattExcalibur78 awesome explanation I get what you mean! I'm glad that even though you are blind, you can still enjoy the things you like to do!
A "red tag" is a lockout device or notice used when there is a danger. Houses can be red tagged if they are at risk of collapse, and equipment can be red tagged if they are so broken they could kill you or cause a ton of damage.
What a fun game!
Construction equipment actually uses a system usually called "lock out tag out" where you cant turn on a machine when there is a tag on it. The tag signifies that someone is inside of or near the machine to repair it or any other reason. This way no one turns on something like a rock crusher while someone is inside of it.
what surprised me the most was the voice of Nancy is also the voice of the FUNPASS. Lani never ceases to amaze.
lol, and she's the hotel operator, she's amazing
she also voiced Kate, loulou and coucou
Ahh this was my first ever Nancy Drew game! I got it for Christmas when I was like 8 and fell in love. Now I'm 25 and have played nearly every game haha
Everything you wrote applies to me as well! I discovered it at the same age and am now 25! This game holds a special place in my heart
Mine too! I'm 25 as well. Lol. 🔍🤍
Same! 27 now and still Nancy obsessed
this was also my first one!! i believe i was the same age. thats incredible. i remember having to switch the discs half-way through! lol
Did we live the same life? cause that’s what happened with me!
This game was a huge party of my childhood. It uses to scary the crap out of me and I still wait to put away the iron until it has fulling cooled because I was tramazited after burning down the hotel. I love that your playthroughs!!
Good lesson
"May I see that tape of the carousel 'haunting' again?" You know, since you got my mind on LoZ games- this reminds me exactly of the owl in Ocarina of Time. At the end of you spamming the A button to get through the dialogue, he asks "would you like to hear that again?" And the first option is "yes", so he says it all...*again.*
Watching you play Nancy Drew is like reliving my childhood! Some of my favorite memories were of me, my mom, and my younger sister all huddled around the computer in the dark, trying not to get spooked by a jump scare.
The fact that she got the brass ring on her very first try is crazy to me tbh
I have had a horrible week and this is the exact amount of relaxation I need. Thank you for doing these videos!!
Listening to you talk about your parents and the whole "back in my day" thing made me laugh. My dad especially likes to say that and rattle off something. Like buying pop for a Nickel or dime. Walking up hill both ways to school etc. Just a wholesome moment 😌
This was my first Nancy Drew game YEARS ago. I remember being so proud after all of that studying of shorthand and figuring out the horse's name. My number one personal gaming moment as I solved it all on my own. It was a trip down memory lane watching you figure it out too!
2:14:45 not Nancy lecturing Harlem about spying on co-workers when she's literally using the code that he recorded to break into the workshop all the time AND she also broke into his locker earlier. I can't with this woman 😅
I don’t know why but you’re ability to solve puzzles so well is extremely satisfying and if you were a teacher I think I’d really learn a lot. I like to try and follow what you’re doing but it’s a little bit more difficult for me to understand 😅 but it’s still so satisfying watching you solve them regardless
“Life is nothing but memories” is such a banger of a quote. But it comes from a toaster with a bike stapled to the top of it lol

2:48:47 Nancy Drew on a quiet vacation?
How long did it take you to type all this?
I love how this game ties into secret of the old clock! These games where my childhood and I enjoy someone actually playing it and enjoying it
I seriously regret not learning shorthand when I was in high school (it was one of the "secretary" type classes they still offered). It would have made taking notes in college so much easier.
This game has an amazing amount of learning in it. I love the Nancy Drew and HOG games you play. The stories are always fun, and relazing to watch. Thanks for playing them. Really appreciate them!
I taught myself a much more simplistic, non-phonetic version called Teeline when I was in 10th grade. I couldn't read a single thing I wrote down afterwards.
Watching you go through the shorthand writing lesson was priceless! It was a such an intense course for just deciphering one word. 😂
YESSS! I look forward to these every month! Ive played these since I was a kid. Absolutely love Nancy Drew games!
i've played almost every nancy game (including this one) but i still love watching your playthroughs. they're such good, underrated games!
Seeing Joy on the carousel was genuinely one of the cutest endings in any nancy drew game
Yes, was very sweet❤
My grandmother was a secretary back in the day and an expert on shorthand and typing. Even outside of work when she jotted down grocery lists and such she would use shorthand. Also, when she typed, she could be looking at me and holding a conversation but be typing at a super high rate with no errors.
29:40 that horror game already exists, The Park, set in an abandoned amusement park and yes, scares as you go around on a carousel type thing.
just thought to myself "i wonder if gab has played any more nancy drew..." AND SAW THAT YOU UPLOADED THIS 12 MINUTES AGO!!! god bless
As a woman who's had a few kids I can say that watching this particular video while needing to pee is not the way to go. Almost had an accident after Gab watched the haunted carousel tape for like the 6th time XD Had to giggle every time she did that.
I audibly gasped and freaked out after seeing you posted this, thank you Gab for playing the games from my childhood!❤️
The Gregg shorthand is what my mother leaned in high school! When I was growing up, she always wrote our Christmas and birthday gifts down on a list in shorthand so no one else in the house could read it but she also could leave it lying around! Been trying to get her to teach me for years (just think how quickly you could take notes in school!). I think we still have her textbooks form school somewhere...
I wonder how common haunted carousel legends are. I had one in my home town that had mirrors around the sides, and there was a myth that if you looked into the mirrors while riding, you could sometimes see ghosts riding on unoccupied horses next to yours.
So like the hitchhiking ghosts in the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland? Haha
Oh!
LOL, the saga of you clicking on the haunted tape cue every time really got me
Fun fact: A majority of the journal entries in Bram Stoker's Dracula are written in stenography by the characters. Thankfully they're written in English for the readers. Lol
When Joe Hardy kept saying “well boys and girls” he sounds just like Ryan Reynolds and it was throwing me off cause I just had this on as background noise 😂
It played just after I read this comment and you’re so right!! It freaked me out cuz it was so uncanny!
Can I just say, even though Gab will never see this, I am so thankful that she plays the Nancy Drew games. I grew up playing these with my sister and started a TH-cam channel solely dedicated to these games but ended up giving up as I just don't have the time or motivation to keep to it. It's great to see these games get the appreciation and recognition they deserve! They will always hold a special place in my heart.
Gab just needs to upload or stream Legend of the Crystal Skull for Halloween now!!!
Much love
My grandmother bought me this when I was like 7 or 8 years old and I honestly had never played a Nancy Drew game in my life and got so confused! I eventually ended up just giving up on it, so I'm glad to finally see the outcome of the game.
This is the only Nancy Drew game I’ve ever played! I lost in the first 5 minutes because I left the iron on, burned down the hotel, and got fired. After this game I started checking carousel horses for names. So far, no names have been found and I’m disappointed in these craftsmen.
I once went on an oldddd carousel and discovered the horses were named. It was so pretty.
I'm not sure how this ended up being one of the most wholesome ones, but it is, I am crying.
This one was my first and I still remember the melody after 17 years…❤️
It seemed so hard back then but now it looks so easy. You can’t even imagine how much time it took to solve the riddle with the micro-resister!
for those more curious, check kiting is better described as somebody will deposit a check, the bank will give them a portion of the check while they verify it, that person will withdraw those funds, and then the check returns but they still have that money. more specifically, this happens when it’s multiple checks. if you deposit a lot of checks before the bank notices, you can get a lot but banks are getting better at catching it and closing the account before they’re able to do a bunch.
i love it when these nancy games have such sweet/emotional subplots- so charming
I had this game when I was a kid! I only remember little parts of it because even just that clip of the carousel going on its own terrified me back then. I'm so happy that I got to see you play it as now I know what the game was about after all these years! So much nostalgia!!!
Ohhh, I loved this one sooo much!!
Gabs, you have been one of my very much needed comfort spots for the last two years. Watching you is fun and relaxing. Thanks for that from Germany 🤗🌷
Check kiting is when you write a 100 dollar check to yourself even though you have only 50 dollars in the bank. It was more common before everything was digitized. Now if you go to deposit a check you put in your card and they know all your info as you deposit the check and the funds show right away. It used to be that banks would have to cross reference records with one another with no database. You could go from bank to bank depositing checks to yourself and cashing them and probably get away with it for a while. Today you would be caught almost instantly.
I had this game as a kid, the amount of joy this brings me is immeasurable.
How sweet ❤
My mom went to school for secretarial work and worked for years in this field, she knew stenography and it always impressed me! Sometimes wasn't helpful when she used it to write out lists!
did anybody catch that at 14:27 there was a note that included "fight the power" from a nick f? AKA Nicholas Falcone? hahahaha
My work schedule keeps me from being able to catch your streams now but I always appreciate you uploading them to your channel. And I’m glad you’re playing more Nancy drew games! I’m trying to play all the games in order so it’s always fun to see others enjoying the games too
Yay! More Nancy! These are so nostalgic and relaxing. Glad you're still playing them. I shall prepare the evening tea.
I've been having such a hard time lately and was literally so excited to see a new Nancy Drew video from Gab! Watched almost 2 hours so far, it's been so fun - Nancy Drew games are supplying me with a lot of random trivia I literally bring up in conversation these days lol I'm going to surprise and amaze my friends with my new knowledge on historic Carousel Horse styles >xD
i love the amount of knowledge these games cram down your throat - it feels really good
Thank you for continuing the Nancy Drew series, it's one of the things i always come to when i need to relax. Keep up the good work!
I have been so excited for this upload! This one and Treasure in the Royal Tower were the two that introduced me to the series, so they hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the chill vibes and wonderful content, Gab
YESSSSSSS I am so happy! I've been waiting for more Nancy Drew and you posted on the day of my final presentation, so this is like an end of semester present to me, thank you Gab :)
editors! we need a counter of how many times gab plays the carousel video XD!!!
also, my parents met through a traveling carnival. my mom was a security guard, my dad ran the carousel. they flirted with each other by ringing his hand bell when the ride started. a few months later, they were married, nov 22nd, they just celebrated their 38th anniversary. and then they found out they were having me the month after they got married.
That's genuinely so precious!
This is, in my experience, so many peoples first Nancy drew game. It was mine and so many people first game it was truly a cultural phenomenon
Elliot is my exact type - Artist, procrastinator, fluffy hair, kind of cranky? What a king 😂❤
I still have a crush on him! 😂😂
These games are like time capsules of their era and I kinda love it.
They absolutely are!! The next few games have this wonky style of personal cellphone for Nancy and it’s kind of hilarious.
Gab, I came across your Nancy Drew videos and I love them! Someone mentioned it below: it's so nice to see you taking them seriously, reading, snooping, having fun with them! The ND franchise is dear to lots of us and it makes me feel like a little girl again watching you play. Your videos are great to relax while drinking a nice cup of coffee.
I cannot begin to describe the whiplash I got when Flemington was mentioned. Had an absolute "I go there!" moment
I've missed watching you play HOG/ND games so much, this has made my day.
Also, I'm pretty sure that my aura is literally just a black hole with the amount of carbs I eat XD
me rolling up to harlans with a bag of popcorn getting ready to watch the security tape hundreds of times
I just finished binge watching the entirety of the Nancy Drew playlist so this video came out at the perfect time! And my computer decided to go on a strike for some reason so I haven't been able to play this game for myself either so this is extra nice to have a new episode of Nancy Drew from you :)
Christmas came early this year with Gab playing Nancy Drew. Love love love this ❤
53:55 *damm the nostalgia this game gave me, in high school i do electronics the resistor puzzle was easy here, we do similar puzzle but only with a manual what resistant every color line makes and you need to find the correct combination of colors and the correct order and search the one from 100 resistors box*
Omg that shorthand writing was something. Imagine someone give me a brief with that symbol and short deadline. What a nightmare.
This was the very first ND game I played with my mom. Such special memories!!
genuine burst of serotonin seeing a new nancy drew game upload ! love love love these, thanks so much for playing
I'm so glad your sticking with this series, I got so excited when I saw the notif for this! Cant wait for danger on deception island!
I absolutely love how sassy Joe Hardy is in this one 😂 "well, boys and girls, can you say 'insurance fraud'?" and "new word, boys and girls! Motive!" Has always gotten me to giggle since I was a teen.
Your Nancy Drew playthroughs are a godsend for my mental health
Mine too ❤ I'm between careers right now so I'm stuck at home soulsearching.
This was the first Nancy drew game I ever played back in elementary school. Brings back memories.
46:09 A couple years ago, I needed to have a minor surgery and had some general blood work done to make sure I was healthy. Everything came back great... except for vitamin D. It was March in central Illinois in the US. Right at the end of winter, when I'd spent 95% of my days inside.
I love this game!! Miles is one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise
Flashbacks to my high school days in an all girls catholic school where they used to teach typewriting and stenography. I remember my mom being so fast at reading and writing in short hand and I was in awe. And to be fair, it's easier in spanish because we sound every letter!
This one has always been one of my fav Nancy Drew games!! I love all the history and I've always been fascinated with carousels. Love your content, Gab!!
This was the first Nancy Drew game I ever played way back when I was a kid. My grandma taught me shorthand because of this game ❤️
Nancy Drew and the curse of making yourself watch the carousel tape every time you want to talk to Harlan :y
41:27 “we’ve watched this five times now!” Just wait, just you wait..
Ingrid reminds me of a more direct version of charlotte from life is strange: true colors, charlotte’s one of my favorite characters so it’s cool!
1:47:39 Sean appearance!
Yayyyy whenever I see a new ND stream from gab it makes me so happy to see someone experiencing these games for the first time. I've played through them a million times
I have saved this video to watch today while I edit pictures 📸 It is calming, peaceful and puzzling 😅 Thank you Gab!
I can’t believe this game doesn’t have a couple jumpscares. It’s just set up too perfectly!
PS: if you want good carnival jump scares, check out the game The Park!
I love these games and now that I’ve seen all of these played by you, I often put it up in the background to study, sleep, or chill out ❤
Watching this while relaxing in the tub with some tea is the best! It cleanses the body AND the soul ♥️
Games 9 through 13 (Danger on Deception Island through Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon) are some of the best! You're going to have so much fun with these next few! Last Train is tied for my #1 favorite
Tbh, I never really liked these games and never wanted to watch a play through but you turned it all around for me, with your fun commentary I was fully engaged!! I hope you have a great day! 😊
In the 60s and 70s, my grandmother used to be a secretary, so she was able to write stenography. She showed me some of it when I was a kid and I was just as confused as you haha
Thankyou so much! Had a bad day at work and this just made my night… your awesome Gab!
