These were so much fun to make, both the graphics and the little storylines to go alongside them. They took longer to post than I wanted – mostly because I get weird anxiety about posting aesthetics? – but I absolutely love how the whole series turned out and I hope you do, too! I desperately miss the 2x-a-year ND games. I hope that these might give some other ND fans a little joy in their place, too, and some inspiration to make your own. :) I’d love to see them if you do!

Mystery of the Seven Keys was a surprisingly good game

I finally managed to play through the game!

I got past my initial disappointment with the latte art bug, and while I'm still sad I didn't get to do the coffee-making minigame (I would have liked an option without the latte art component), I had a lot of fun with the rest of the puzzles and the game in general!

#her interactive #nancy drew games #clue crew #mystery of the seven keys #key

Finally gave Mystery of the Seven Keys a try and of course I immediately got stopped in my tracks by the latte art glitch… (mine isn’t about the design on the latte not showing up it’s about the milk literally not showing up on the coffee when I pour it)

Tell me why I got 10mn of gameplay followed by 30mn of googling the glitch and trying to find the save file that “fixes it” and then figuring out where the heck Steam saves the save files in my computer so I can put it there… NOT the kind of sleuthing I was hoping for tonight.

I was already so annoyed by the clunkiness of the game and now I am straight up Not Having a Good Time. It’s not (just) the graphic aspect either, the dialogues are not very well written and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do (yes that happens in ND games but not THAT early?)

At the moment this is ranking even lower than MID for me and that’s saying A LOT.

i’m so sad that before long i will no longer be a teenager and i’ve still yet to be a teenage sleuth. like no solving mysteries for me. no pulling the masks off of evil old white men dressed up as ghouls in my town. no having the police tell me to mind my own business and later doing a better job than them. what kind of life is this??

#i've convinced myself that being a teenage sleuth is a mindset #it's about disregarding private property and asking rude questions about people's personal lives #nancy drew games

Nancy Drew CW as Nancy Drew Games Quotes - (2/?)

#genius

naancypants

I think I've pinpointed the main reason I'm so viscerally unhappy with the direction the writers chose to go in with Nace -- obviously this is just my opinion, so any use of objective terms like "supposed to be", etc is not meant to be taken literally. It's just me airing out my takes on the storytelling.

For me, one of the most appealing things about Nace is how they juxtapose all of Nancy's other romantic endeavors. From the beginning, it's been different with Ace. He isn't a fast-moving hookup or a form of escapism. He gradually grows into the role of a best friend, a partner, someone she is emotionally open with, and the person who can keep her steady when shit hits the fan. Ace's presence encourages Nancy to embrace love (especially self-love) rather than facilitating her urge to push it away.

I associate Nick and Owen, Nancy's season 1 ships -- which ideally would establish a starting point for her -- with Nancy resigning to circumstances that are out of her control, and having to move on from something she really wanted to make work. Both of these relationships were ripped from her grasp, thus leading to pain and reinforcing her belief that she isn't deserving of That Kind of love.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

Season 4 has essentially applied these negative season 1 traits to Nancy/Ace, her supposed endgame, with the curse and how it has torn them apart. I've always believed her endgame should break down these patterns entirely, not slap a new coat of paint on them. The idea is for Nancy to learn that true love doesn't HAVE to be painful, that love shouldn't break your spirit. Not when it's the right person. There's no real reason to be rehashing angst and hopelessness and rebounds this late in the game -- not with Ace, who is narratively recognized as The One. This should be the relationship for Nancy that symbolizes joy and the warmth of falling for a friend. It should feel cozy and stable. Why would we want to validate Nancy's belief that great love must come with great suffering? I've always loved Nace for the themes of growth that it reflects in Nancy's character -- that she is learning what real love feels like, that she is embracing her most authentic self, that she has moved away from the closed-off girl we met at the start who used relationships as a distraction from her pain.

Ace is supposed to represent comfort, security, and a safe haven from the strife that surrounds Nancy's life... yet now he is the central cause of her strife. I don't want her to be miserable because of whatever is going on with Ace. I want Ace to be her solace from whatever else is making her miserable! That's how this relationship was built to function!!! That was the entire point!!!!!

I can't help but feel like this star-crossed drama sours their connection a little, when I ship them specifically for the way Ace has always been an anomaly for her. Someone with whom she could let her guard down and communicate freely due to the harmonious undercurrent between them. Now they can't make it through (1) conversation without 'breaking up' or stabbing each other in the heart. It's exhausting. It's counterintuitive to everything I love about them. I don't expect a relationship without its bumps in the road, but their arc is so dramatic and heightened now, it's like the writers have disregarded why these two worked so well together in the first place.

All I ever wanted was a sweet little slowburning coworkers-to-besties-to-lovers arc where they both surprise themselves by falling for each other 💐 of course I'm still rooting for them to end up together, but it hurts to know that what was once my #1 currently-airing OTP is barely even a shell of what I hoped it would be.

#you’ve expressed it so well #I couldn’t put my finger on why it suddenly felt so wrong

Um???

So the latest email from HeR(inactive) spells out “thirty-four” in highlighted letters during the trivia puzzle.

And they’ve got these two images in there:

There are red letters in the note from Nancy that spell “you’ve been hacked.” What’s happening???

The card links to their Instagram, which has been wiped.

They also said “you never know what we’re gonna post next ;)”

Someone figure out what the card means—are we getting a trailer?

I swear, if this is an April fool’s joke I will burn them to the ground.

(Yeah I’m still on their email list. The unsubscribe button is very small, okay?)

#Her Interactive why are you so messy #now I need to make sure it’s real before I tell my mom #I wanna say they’re dead to me if it’s a prank but they’ve basically been dead

Here are all the mixed drinks at the Screaming Banshee for day 19 of the Drewtober challenge (I didn't do the root or birch beer this go around). In a bit of a twist, all of them were actually pretty good except for the Peat Bog (but with a name like that no real surprise). My top pick is the Leprechaun's Lunch (think a Shamrock Shake but mintier and less sweet), but the Afterglow was also pretty good (think a mocktail version of a tequila sunrise and you can't even taste the tomato juice)!

LETS DO IT!!

Try my new demo - Prose & Codes!

I've been working on a new game for the past three months, and I'm super excited to get feedback from the clue crew on the FREE demo version! If you liked decoding the journal in Ransom of the Seven Ships, I think you'll like this game!

Prose & Codes invites you to explore the wonderful world of books through deceptively simple substitution ciphers. The demo includes 49 encoded excerpts from literary classics across 7 unique genres (including mystery novels)!

Like what you decoded? You can add excerpts to your favorites and read spoiler-free synopses--plus, every single book featured in the game can be read online COMPLETELY FREE, direct links included!

This is a demo/beta version of the game for Windows (Mac demo coming soon), and there's a development list on the itch.io page that goes over some of the improvements that will be made for the final version. However, I'm all ears for any other improvements you think I should make!

When the game is complete and ready to sell, a portion of all proceeds will go to Project Gutenburg, an amazing online library of free ebooks!

If you give Prose & Codes a try, please let me know what you think--good or bad (bug reports are especially welcome)! You can post on the itch.io page, email me at [email protected], or even anonymously message me here on tumblr!

NOTE: The itch.io page is private for now, so Prose & Codes will not show up if you search for the game. Direct link: https://herogameco.itch.io/proseandcodes?password=ciphers
