It was only TODAY while watching Snughly's Castle Malloy stream that I realized the dollhouse was the miniature castle Malloy!!

She explained it live on stream, also just realizing. The upper floor is the secret room, the middle room is the library where Kyler sits, on the right is the nursery, left is corridor, and the bottom room is the big area where Kit is... I have not figured this out all of my life despite playing this game 10+ times.

Okay so following the theory that HeRInteractive outsourced the entire game #34 and they just got it back from other companies, which would explain why they would do such poor buildup marketing and only announce it 3 weeks before release - I assumed that these last 3 weeks they need for beta testing and bug fixing. So I asked my friend who works in game development and beta testing whether 3 weeks would be enough to test and fix game's bugs - she said NO.

Which makes sense, that's a very short window of time to catch the bugs, report them, get developers to locate the issues, fix them, test them again, it's a process that can take months! So. If they really did give it just 3 weeks to be fixed of bugs... we might be getting another buggy game.

If there’s one thing I hope does NOT happen in KEY, it’s Ned being a jerk and ignoring Nancy for no explainable reason

My Thoughts on the ND34 Trailer

I know a lot of people have expressed their thoughts on the trailer, but I am going to try to observe anything that looks interesting and ask questions.

In the museum gallery room in one of the opening shots, why is there fog around the artifacts? Isn’t that dangerous for the items. Or are we on a steak out and the robbers are coming in under the cover of fog.

The old guy with glasses (not sure who he is)-Did I see a scopa card? Very Phantom of Venice vibes here. The card is also seen later next to some footprints. Could he be like a professor or something?

Puppet of Death????  Maybe some alchemy, like a homunculus. We saw pictures and alchemy was mentioned in the trailer. Does Radek have something to do with it since we saw him with puppets in the background?

Oskar- eh not much was said about him, but he might have something to do with the fake jewels.

Blonde lady- Ok I am thinking she may be the person that assigns us the case to find her grandmother’s necklace.  She gives off Xena vibes from game 31.

Other Old guy- I do see puppets in the background with him so maybe he works with Radek?

Guy in purple coat- he might be our contact with a government like entity maybe a news reporter?

Elka- Computer smarts maybe she will be helping us solve the case?

Coffee shop owner lady- I’m getting Margherita vibes from Phantom but also the sweet lady that would offer you a slice of cake, maybe her coffee shop is the hot spot of latest gossip on the theft/fakes. Maybe her sweet vibe is a lie?

The scary looking office lady- She seems sus. She probably works with Oskar.

This next bit is pure speculation I have no idea so please take this with a grain of salt.

Some of the puzzles that I did see the big one that had the different shapes of stone.

3 crowns

3 crosses

3 hammers

3 swords

Each one of these pictures are on an octagon, a square, and a triangle no repeating shapes with the same picture (I.E. 2 octagon crowns) so maybe this is like sudoku. I did notice look at the puzzle on the side on the wood part there are the same symbols. Oh, wait I’m getting Bento puzzle vibes with this puzzle once I take a step back.

I did not have "new Nancy Drew game trailer dropping" on my bingo card for this week but here we are

[joehardysdrift]

I thought it was odd that HeR picked such a specific time for the trailer premiere... then I remembered that they're on the west coast, which means for them it was 7:34

7 keys, 34th game

They probably thought that was so clever jshdjxsj

[joehardysdrift]

For some reason, one of my first thoughts upon waking up today was "Professor Hotchkiss was arrested for protesting the Vietnam War." So do with that what you will.
