“The house is BURNING! Here’s what everyone’s butt looks like.” I literally spit my Starbucks drink onto the table in front of me. I need to learn not to drink while watching your videos! 😂
This is definitely the Nancy Drew game with the most unresolved conflicts at the end. There's so many unexplained plot holes and it makes me sad because it has the most interesting plot and I wish it was more fleshed out and explained to us.
For anyone curious about #87- they added that in as an old movie homage. Back in the day when there was no internet and not a lot of people went to the zoo, nobody knew what the heck armadillos were. So they put them in a LOT of horror movies to scare people bc there's was NO WAY that thing was REAL... right? Go watch any old black and white horror film, there will probably be strange creatures running around! (I used to work with an old movie fanatic and he'd tell me all sorts of fun facts, that's the only reason I know this ahaha)
Also: when Nancy hallucinates Charlotte for the first time in front of the bedroom, she can see inside and vaguely see the clocks. How would her carbon-monoxide-induced hallucination reveal exactly what’s inside before Nancy knows?
I think what this game tried to do is leave it vague. It COULD be Carbon monoxide... but there's a chance that it really was Charlotte's ghost. Which is why I adore this game. It's the only one in the series where Nancy couldn't find an explanation for the supernatural.
@@cersichigo3426 Yes Her Interactive couldn't make up Their minds was it Real Ghost Hillousantions from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning or Jesslyn and Harper dressing up like Charlotte? Which is it Her to please make up Your Minds
@@jackgarrison8497 there is a confirmation by the ending where Clara dies that due to a little girl seeing 2 women floating above black rock and Nancy even confirming she felt the carbon monoxide theory wasn't believable since her fears were reaffirmed by someone else
In regards to 71, you can tell Wade you saw Harper in the cellar and he says that that will ruin Clara's day and he runs to get her. But yeah it doesn't make sense as much if you tell it to Clara instead
Shadow at the water's edge, and ghost dogs of moon lake kill will always be the scariest. Gosh the atmosphere of the dark woods at night, and the creepiness of being alone in the woods, or the ryokan was awesome. The part where Nancy gets locked in the room and has to jump down at like 3am in SAW will always freak me out. Also props to secrets can kill because I always felt terrified in the school. ESPECIALLY in the library. Never felt like you were alone.
your comment doesn't make sense... "the atmosphere of being alone in the woods at night" and then "it never felt like you were alone". so, are you afraid of bein' alone or NOT BEIN' alone? :D these days there's nothing really that could scare me... after so many horror movies, (some really good and some really bad) I think I'm immune :D and in this game whenever I saw Charlotte, I actually felt excited and stared at her dress, this black and red was Soo pretty 😂 no, but really. this is exactly my aesthetic and if I found a black and red shirt with a lot of laces like that, I'd buy it without thinkin(and thinking about it, next time I get my paycheck, imma get something like that actually. even if I have to go online
If I remember correctly, Savannah DIDN'T remember which room she stayed in at the Ryokan, she only remembered that the room wasn't let out to anyone. We had to figure it out ourselves. So Savannah was even less useful in Japan than this video thinks.
#172 Yes, thank you!! Why should Nancy be the one to go from the CELLAR to the 2ND FLOOR bedroom for Jessalyn's mother while Jessalyn gets to leave with Harper? These duties should be reversed.
I don't like the explanation for the hauntings because like you said, it seems more like an excuse rather than a real reason. Also, I've played this game like three times and I don't think I've ever gotten the scene where Nancy says that Harper and Jessalyn were dressing up as Charlotte. I especially didn't like that part because it felt that the game was trying to do everything to convince Nancy (and maybe the player as well) that the hauntings were just hallucinations instead of actual hauntings. It felt like the game was running from the truth lol.
It wasn't a hulistinstion harper and Jessalin pretended to be charlote the whole house catching on fire was a bit rushed but at least it was foreshadowed
How BIG are their naked mole rats!?! WHY is this abandoned house on an island off the coast of Georgia infested with a species of rodent native to East Africa? Did someone smuggle a box of them into the country and then release them on the island as some sort of prank, and then they somehow got into some uranium and mutated into unusual size? *outraged Arglefumph voice* THAT DOES NOT CLEAR UP THE CONFUSION HER INTERACTIVE!
It bothers me when there's a location that is clearly huge and, when you go inside, there's no evidence of that. You look outside and you can clearly see it has 3 floors and a minimum of 3 or 4 bedrooms on each floor. Yet, when we go upstairs, we only see a hallway and the door for one bedroom. There are no other bedroom doors so there's no evidence that the house is as big as it is. Not to mention the fact that there's no stairway that leads to the 3rd floor. Message in a Haunted Mansion did a better job at this because, even though we can't enter all the rooms, the true size of the mansion is evident.
I thought that Savannah's icon may have been a "spirit". I've seen it in other media where spirits/souls/whatever can be seen as something similar to that. Scavenger hunt list includes landing on the island and surviving until morning... makes me think of a to-do list, honestly.
I remember my 11 year old self making up my own ghost story “inspired” by this game (it was basically the same plot just with more characters 😂). I was so proud of myself lol
I honestly thought that the armadillo thing was a glitch in my game the first time I played it, and I went on the HER forums asking people if something was wrong with my copy lol Still not sure why they put that in. It doesn't seem to fit with the theme in my opinion.
#54: Agreed! I do NOT think they should have put that eerie operatic singing in the background music. It eventually got so irritating that I muted the volume whenever that song came on.
Sarah Donahue For me, at first, it was scary as hell, and I got too freaked out to do anything when it came on. Then, as I realized that was really the only song I heard, it got suuuuper annoying really quick.
#160 Makes since as Charlotte was an estate owner at this point in her life. When you own that much, you make sure you know where it's going. Plus, Charlotte seems to have had a bit of a preoccupation with death, judging from her habit of visiting gravestones.
#94. She does however have a diary and tasklist. She probably tore off a page near the end of it. And she obviously carries something to write with, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take notes. She just doesn't keep them in her hammerspace bag.
What a wonderful surprise to wake up to! Thank you for preparing and sharing this video, Michael. :) (Also, just a side note: I think Savannah's logo is the cover of her book, which we saw in Shadow at the Water's Edge. :)
8:21 I still get confused about the timeline, but I always thought this was because Colton may've been around 5 or 6 when it happened. MAYBE 8. It's not a major difference in ages, but also it's essentially an arranged marriage so....
well, many people see the age difference that is more than 3 as big nowadays... the youngest boyfriend I had was 5 older than me :D more than 4 years older, and we've been getting weird looks already... in today's society a lot of people seem to see that as weird. my current boyfriend is 20 years older, how bout that? :D also, it's almost ALWAYS the guy who is older, not the other way around. if you get a crush on a guy who is a few years younger than you, you are basically fucked, unfortunately... 🤦🏻♀️ just like in this video "a girl just a little older than you" is portrayed as A LOT older, while Nancy is 18 and Jessalyn 24, which makes it 6 year old in age difference. no, I wouldn't question that statement. it is a little older, but not A LOT older. if she was 15 years older, then yes, but 5-6...? like I said, older, yes , but not majorly older. the difference between Colton and jessalyn is most likely not more than 5-7 years old, which like I said, is older but not super, arranged marriage-ky older( many arranged marriages have/had 15 years+ difference...). although yeah, it is confusin, since all the dialogues seem to suggest they are roughly the same age.
For clarification, the game does have Jesslyn exclaim that Harper and Jesslyn have been trying to get the necklace from Clara and Nancy interrupts this as they're the ones dressing up as Charlotte. The death sequences are Harper dressed as Charlotte and some of the hauntings are the two of them trying to lure out Clara just to get that one single half of the necklace. The game doesn't explain this right and makes a leap in judgment on Nancy's part but that's more or less the best explanation for this scenario. Part of the game is hallucinations and the other half is Harper in a costume.
Well then it's very lucky those girls had CO hallucinations to overlap with their costumes, because let's face it - Harper walking around in a red gown and mask was not going to fool anyone who was lucid.
Yeah, we never found out where Jessilynn’s dad was. Also, does anyone know who the other woman was in the picture with Clara and the 40 Lost Souls grave? And what the “picture in the corner,” was?
from all the evidence, it might've been Harper. Clara seems younger on that painting, and they abandoned the estate years ago, so it was most likely painted some time ago as well. And since Harper then became the one everyone hates, they covered her up. OR, it could've been Charlotte, and Clara painted her over, because she felt guilty after she accidentally killed her and didn't want to look at her. I'm guessin it's either one of the other, leaning more into the Harper explanation.
I thought this video ended with the bonus “whay do you mean” sequence but now I can’t find it! Help! Maybe I’m having carbon monoxide poisoning hallucinations too 😂
I know it's old, but another one - how did Clara get Charlotte's necklace? did she just break into the burnin building and pulled it off her charred corpse? that's weird AND creepy if you think about it... not to mention, the necklace would be destroyed in the fire as well. or did she just kindly ask Charlotte before to give her the necklace right before her death and she was just "ain't, sure, here ya go"? this makes no sense :D this is actually my favorite game in the series, but the number of unanswered questions is frustrating. and the ending with carbon monoxide poisoning as an explanation... it may explain the shadows(that Nancy saw at the very beginning of the game, before she even entered and was exposed to the fumes... and the ghost Killin her. I know, the hallucinations may seem so real they can lead to heart attack even, when you have a "bad trip", but still, this is left unexplained.
Personally, I think alternative endings in this game is a cheat. Game tricks you into thinking you have a choice, when in fact, you don't because you actually choose between what's right to do (save all characters) and wrong and be automatically responsible for their deaths. Like, why not Harper or Jesslyn are responsible either? And "you decide" phrase from Jesslyn is kinda strange if then she loathes you for the wrong choice. The idea of alternative endings is interesting itself, but if it's giving you different info or character/plot development, etc. In this case, it looked like more a "teaching function" on "see, how it's important to save people's lives and not to think only about yourself" (which is good, but not in the games)
yeah, especially the games that most people played as teenagers or kids even... the game makes you responsible for not saving somebody, in a BURNING BUILDING, WHILE YOU'RE IN THE BASEMENT AND THEY'RE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. I dunno about you, but If I were in that kinda situation, and then played it as a kid as I did(when it came out, I was 16, but some were younger I'm guessing), then I'd instantly feel guilty, because I chose to be selfish and not risk my own life to try and save somebody else from a fire in a quickly collapsin building, even since I was in a basement and they were on the second floor. it is kinda a bad moral to add to a games for kids and teens. it says you should always play a hero and risk your life to save somebody, while in reality, YOUR safety is always the most important one to you. and to be fair, I know the majority or at least half the audience for games like GTA and other big, box-office banger titles where you steal, kill and do everything that'd out you in the most wanted section in any police department in the country, are kids, but these games are outright marketed to the older audience. ND are outright a family-friendly games, with some soft scares and plot added to make them more interesting to the kids(although, to be honest, I kinda doubt the kids would be able to solve all these puzzles all by themselves. I can't even do that, even though I'm 26 and I always have to look up playthroughs, just like I did back in the day, when I was a kid and had to look up solutions every 5 minutes :D or maybe I'm just the dumb one who could and still can't understand the instructions :D that's why I definitely prefer watching playthoughs than playing the ND games myself. the puzzle overload was always super annoying for me - that's why I was the ONE AND ONLY person who liked the lack of puzzles in MiS. :D ) nonetheless, the GoTH is my favorite game in the franchise. the plot, the mysteriousness(I guess the unanswered questions add to that all. when we don't have straight answers, we tend to be more drawn to somethin -thats how the human brain works), everything, besides the puzzles ofc... every one of these games is either cliche and reuses plot parts and gets borin after a while for me, because the mystery is not worth the puzzle hassle. with this game, they've managed to write a really interesting plot actually, that keeps you goin. plus the soundtrack and overall climate(I don't find the "creepy opera singing annoyin nor creepy at all. but then again, after the amount of bad Netflix horror movies I watched, there's hardly anything that would be actually creepy to me. I don't like the jumpscares only because I hate the feeling of nearly getting a heart attack :D) yes, I know it's a 4 year old comment. and no, I don't care, I'm fine with writing my essays anywayz even if nobody's gonna read em ;)
This is probably the best what's wrong with nancy drew video you've made I could not stop laughing, and this is one of my least favorite nancy drew games and you pointing out everything wrong just makes me realize why I am not a big fan of it. But Michael keep up these great videos they are amazing.
Answer for #125. The only times Wade isn't in the graveyard was when he went to search the house with Nancy for Harper, and when he was trying to get into Charlotte's room. Harper knew he would be in the hall because she warned Nancy beforehand, so she could've gone out during those opportunities to carve Nancy's name into the stone. Most likely the second option. She wouldn't have had enough time to finish before they came back outside seeing she wasn't in the furnace room, unless shes a Master Mason.
I found this Q&A linked from TV Tropes. It provides answers (or non-answers, when appropriate) to a lot of questions in the game. nancythedrew.tumblr.com/post/50969621688/gth-official-answers-to-unanswered-questions
The scythe reacts to you trying to open the door multiple times, not the rhyme. Also it’s said as “Sigh-th”. But I did laugh at a ton of these! Everyone says this game is scary and super good. I actually didn’t think it was amazing. I hated the lack of night/day changes, a lack of places to explore, the shitty accents and so many things being left unexplained. It’s not scary at all and tbh Stay Tuned For Danger at least induced panic with the bomb, Ghost Dogs had actual spook factor, Deception Island had those passages that are super creepy and fun navigation, and more games had good stuff. This one just didn’t stand out to me.
The family tree is really confusing to me. Didn’t jessalyn say that Charlotte was her cousin in one of the recordings? Family relations confuse me too.
I was expecting Michael to sin Addison's phone image. 6:55 sin 56. It's not a sith, Micheal. It's a sa-eeth. Or sa-ee-th. Both are right. Or, as, matt pointed out SIGH-th is fine as well.

Ned: "I have a large tongue"

Have you ever thought about doing an "Everything Right with..." series of videos for all of the Nancy Drew games?
I would love more of these. Even some for others, like the Dossier games
:O dossier games! Forgot those existed!
@froilanjosephpaz4They only made 2 of Them there was a third but because of low sales it was sadly cancelled.941
"And here's what everyone's butt looks like!" Killed me 😂

So when Wade and Clara go into the basement to see if harper is there ... how come they didn't notice the furnace burning ???
#38. Wade's parents could have told him stories about Beauregard. There's plenty of people in my family who I know from family talks, but never met.
#87 - It's definitely a ham Nancy hallucinated. The only sustenance she's had for several days is old tea 😂
I always interpreted the hallucination explanation as like a "this is what it *might* be but really it's up to you" kind of thing
In regards to 71, you can tell Wade you saw Harper in the cellar and he says that that will ruin Clara's day and he runs to get her. But yeah it doesn't make sense as much if you tell it to Clara instead
Alternate sentence:
Fire!
Fire!

Easily one of my favorite moments in a Nancy Drew game.
That would have been a great addition to this video. xD

I dunno about you, but If I were in that kinda situation, and then played it as a kid as I did(when it came out, I was 16, but some were younger I'm guessing), then I'd instantly feel guilty, because I chose to be selfish and not risk my own life to try and save somebody else from a fire in a quickly collapsin building, even since I was in a basement and they were on the second floor. it is kinda a bad moral to add to a games for kids and teens. it says you should always play a hero and risk your life to save somebody, while in reality, YOUR safety is always the most important one to you.
and to be fair, I know the majority or at least half the audience for games like GTA and other big, box-office banger titles where you steal, kill and do everything that'd out you in the most wanted section in any police department in the country, are kids, but these games are outright marketed to the older audience. ND are outright a family-friendly games, with some soft scares and plot added to make them more interesting to the kids(although, to be honest, I kinda doubt the kids would be able to solve all these puzzles all by themselves. I can't even do that, even though I'm 26 and I always have to look up playthroughs, just like I did back in the day, when I was a kid and had to look up solutions every 5 minutes :D or maybe I'm just the dumb one who could and still can't understand the instructions :D that's why I definitely prefer watching playthoughs than playing the ND games myself. the puzzle overload was always super annoying for me - that's why I was the ONE AND ONLY person who liked the lack of puzzles in MiS. :D )
nonetheless, the GoTH is my favorite game in the franchise. the plot, the mysteriousness(I guess the unanswered questions add to that all. when we don't have straight answers, we tend to be more drawn to somethin -thats how the human brain works), everything, besides the puzzles ofc... every one of these games is either cliche and reuses plot parts and gets borin after a while for me, because the mystery is not worth the puzzle hassle. with this game, they've managed to write a really interesting plot actually, that keeps you goin. plus the soundtrack and overall climate(I don't find the "creepy opera singing annoyin nor creepy at all. but then again, after the amount of bad Netflix horror movies I watched, there's hardly anything that would be actually creepy to me. I don't like the jumpscares only because I hate the feeling of nearly getting a heart attack :D)
yes, I know it's a 4 year old comment. and no, I don't care, I'm fine with writing my essays anywayz even if nobody's gonna read em ;)
hahaha i love these videos so much!! :)
I think Savannah’s photo is supposed to be a ghost image.
This is probably the best what's wrong with nancy drew video you've made I could not stop laughing, and this is one of my least favorite nancy drew games and you pointing out everything wrong just makes me realize why I am not a big fan of it. But Michael keep up these great videos they are amazing.
There was also a grammatical error when Nancy first talks to Harper. There was a missing space between words.
I stopped pointing out grammatical errors, because nobody enjoyed my nitpicking of grammar.
That's a shame. I've always enjoyed such nitpicks.
Me too. Maybe you could do one number of how many mistakes there are.

Answer for #125.
The only times Wade isn't in the graveyard was when he went to search the house with Nancy for Harper, and when he was trying to get into Charlotte's room. Harper knew he would be in the hall because she warned Nancy beforehand, so she could've gone out during those opportunities to carve Nancy's name into the stone. Most likely the second option. She wouldn't have had enough time to finish before they came back outside seeing she wasn't in the furnace room, unless shes a Master Mason.
#180 actually made me laugh out loud hahahahahhahahahhaha
I found this Q&A linked from TV Tropes. It provides answers (or non-answers, when appropriate) to a lot of questions in the game.

The NFL schedule from 1989 and the 1989 World Series are ways you can tell that October 30, 1989 was a Monday.
Excellent video!

I want new Nancy Drew games :(
YESSSSS day made!!!! 👍
Missing sin co poisoning doesn't cause visual or auditory hallucinations.
I love this
Can I listen to more recordings?
The scythe reacts to you trying to open the door multiple times, not the rhyme. Also it’s said as “Sigh-th”. But I did laugh at a ton of these! Everyone says this game is scary and super good. I actually didn’t think it was amazing. I hated the lack of night/day changes, a lack of places to explore, the shitty accents and so many things being left unexplained. It’s not scary at all and tbh Stay Tuned For Danger at least induced panic with the bomb, Ghost Dogs had actual spook factor, Deception Island had those passages that are super creepy and fun navigation, and more games had good stuff. This one just didn’t stand out to me.
The family tree is really confusing to me. Didn’t jessalyn say that Charlotte was her cousin in one of the recordings? Family relations confuse me too.
3. or a Blue Aurora Borealis
25. I don't know, did Harper always look the way she does right now?
20:48 I died XD

How old is Nancy?
Luna Oak 18
@@happinesss2 It's Ridiculous that Nancy is still 18 Years old after She was invented back in The 1930's is She secretly Immortal?
I was expecting Michael to sin Addison's phone image.
6:55 sin 56. It's not a sith, Micheal. It's a sa-eeth. Or sa-ee-th. Both are right. Or, as, matt pointed out SIGH-th is fine as well.
Aditya Upadhye You spelt Michael wrong.
"SIGH-th."
Also he did the same thing in the Ghost Dogs EWW vid.
I'm weird, I'm a weirdo no I didn't.
Ohmygosh this is the funniest fan fiction ever that Michael wrote. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 soooooo fuuunnytt
