Kitty's Nancy Drew blog

Nancy Drew games from Her Interactive were some of my wife's favorite activities from childhood, so I made her this piece inspired by Treasure in the Royal Tower as a birthday gift.

And while you do that, there's an audio clip running with all three of those components so you can hear how they balance when you're making changes, yeah?

For most of the games, I think that audio is a section of dialog or maybe sometimes a clip of Lani doing a weird voice. Regardless, it's at least something innocuous enough that I've never really paid attention to it. But uhhhhh, NOT SO MUCH in Stay Tuned for Danger. In STFD, this menu gets you a man's voice saying:

Riiight, I forgot! You're celebrating your....70th birthday next month? Haha you are soooo sassy But that's what I love about you. Sassy

Cleaning today, I found this ad in the back of my old Hardy Boys book 😍 It even features some concept art specifically for TRN that I’ve never seen before. They appear to be in the mines towards the game’s end sequence? I see they’re wearing the same clothes, which makes me wonder if they were suppose to have more presence at the end? 🤔

Thanks for the tag! If there are any other ads for these games please let us know!

Here's my attempt at colonizing it above (it was kind of a rushed photoshop job however). And here's a crop the same art on the official box:

I felt compelled to reverse image search this photo to find the real woman that Maddie Jenson was pasted over

All I could find was one photo captioned “Famous People of Monaco”
