• nothing like starting things off with a bang! … sorry, couldn’t resist.
• why did they call themselves team danger when they could’ve been the clue crew? it’s right there!
• “i don’t know if i can even get calls in here.” meanwhile all of her friends are able to call her.
• are you even a nancy drew fan if you don’t sit and eat every flavor on the menu at scoop?
• ned’s a real one for not wanting to flirt with deirdre at first, even though it was important to the investigation. <3
• “aren’t you worried about seeing justice done?” “no, i’m a reporter.” oof.
• alexei’s story is so interesting, i would’ve killed to see him in another game.
• all the easter eggs in this one from previous games, namely the phone backgrounds all being covers for the twenty-four other games in the series at that point in time, is so cool.
• i kinda hate how later into the games you get the less descriptive and thorough the task list becomes. :/ maybe that’s just me but i’m dumb and forget what i’m supposed to be doing at times.
• childhood me thought in fifty years the company would reveal what nancy put in the time capsule, similar to what they did for zoey 101. ; how do i tell younger me that the company stopped making regular games and likely won’t be around long enough to do it?
• seeing how much you spent on ice cream at scoop is a cute touch.
• honestly didn’t type much for this post while i was playing because i was high and my husband kept talking in his sleep and knocking my laptop with his long ass legs. 😭
• ANYWHO! overall this is a very homey game, and is surprisingly unapologetic in the way it speaks about politics and justice. ; three of the suspects will outright tell you that those in politics are corrupt, that true justice is rarely important to those in charge, and how everyone is ultimately out for themselves. it’s very well done, especially for a company who’s had several blunders over the years regarding sensitive topics.
• also, exploring a town quickly turning on the heroine they once showered with love and adoration the second she’s accused of something heinous? fascinating.
