Since Her Interactive laid off most of their staff and outsourced the rest of the game during the production of Midnight in Salem, here’s a list of loose end plot things from prior games I’m disappointed that probably won’t get answered at any point:

In the outro for SPY, Nancy mentioned wanting to track down the rest of the real letters from her mom that Revenant had (Redacted Villain) use to lure her to Scotland.

What exactly was Grandpa Jin’s device in the Shattered Medallion? The outro mentioned Sonny was still trying to track down leads for that, and one of the preorder bonuses from Sea of Darkness was a comic he left on the couch in the pub area of the inn where he mentioned wanting Nancy’s help again, which kinda implied a quasi-sequel to MED at some point.

I’m now a decent chunk of the way into The Shattered Medallion (halfway? a third? idk. I remember basically zero things about how the plot goes) and this game is so weird.

I’m not sure if I’m doing things out of the expected order or what, but there have been so many bits where a character says something as if I’m supposed to know what they’re talking about. “don’t you think Sonny is acting strange?” ....no?? because I’ve only ever seen him in the opening cutscene and have had zero other interaction. “this password must be for the water puzzle” WHAT water puzzle?? I got a text saying that challenge 3 was open, but we have no idea what it is yet. Etc etc etc. Every single character interaction involves me learning new information that the characters think I already know

On top of that, challenges keep ending before I’ve had time to do anything. And I know that’s intentional, but it makes me feel like I don’t have time to explore everything because new plot beats are happening so quickly.

When you put all of that together, the game feels too full. There’s so much happening and it’s all going so fast and you feel behind and you don’t have your leisure to explore. But at the exact same time.... it’s too empty. When you strip away the anxiety of racing against the competition, you’re left with a limited number of places to go and some straightforward little puzzles.

I really feel like there’s a GOOD game buried somewhere in here, but it just didn’t come through in the execution. It’s a fun premise, the snark from the announcer is hilarious, the confessional recordings we get to listen to are full of entertaining character bits, the gameshow mechanism opens up so many possibilities (no longer needing to justify why some 19th century person would build a weird elaborate puzzle! it’s a puzzle because it’s a gameshow! we can do whatever we want!)

Basically, this one just has me feeling bummed out because I see all the things it could be but didn’t manage to pull off

I'm playing MED so I'm obviously bored and pondering why this game is so bad, and I've realized why I deeply hate MED and LIE back to back to much.

They're both complete fakeouts as far as location goes. You're supposedly going to visit New Zealand and Greece, which is very cool, but then you arrive and you just stay in a contained location that's a Disney funhouse version of both places with a bunch of goofy-ass people standing around pretending to do important things.

Instead of seeing any legitimate places or landmarks in these locations, or meeting people that are living their normal lives while you piece together a mystery around them, you're just in a little zoo exhibit that could easily be located anywhere else with people preemptively behaving in weird ways.

Contract to SSH, the classic ~museum~ game, where you regularly visit people at their jobs, go to places around the city, and generally have a sense that normal life is happening around you while you're rushing to solve the theft. Or even TRN, where you're also in a contained environment for a (IMO better) reason backed up by the story, but where the game creates some actual urgency and anxiety about just who you're stuck on the train with and what to do next.

UGH! I hate MED and LIE so much.

#honestly i include SPY in this trifecta of my least favorite grouping of games #i hate SPY for other reasons though so i won't pick on it this time #labyrinth of lies #the shattered medallion #LIE #MED #nancy drew

Nancy’s Fits

[1] [2] [3] 4

This is a project where I tried to reconstruct the outifts Nancy wears and/or packs in the various games. To fill in gaps, I made guesses based on Nancy’s style, frequent clothing items and context like weather. I’ve likely missed some stuff, but it’s been fun!

Specific in-game sources for the outfits under the cut 

hairstyle based off logo silhouette unless other style is shown

face, hair color and body type based off logo, cover art, in-game models, images and descriptions

CAP: shirt, skirt, and dress visible on bed. guess work on shoes

ASH: shirt and hairstyle partially visible in cover art. hairstyle also based on in-game silhouette. guess work on pants and shoes

TMB: shirts and pants based on suitcase items. guess work on shoes. large button down partially visible in tent

SPY: outfits based on cover art and suitcase items. spy glasses also visible in-game

MED: outfit and hairstyle partially visible in cutscene. guess work on shoes. life vest visible in kayak, glasses visible in shop

LIE: shirt, pants, shoes and hairstyle visible in cutscenes

Nancy: You mean you just talked big and hoped something would turn up? Sonny: It’s always worked before! Where’s the sense in promising to achieve the achievable? What kind of success would that be?
