This is my absolute favorite Nancy Drew game. There’s something about the aesthetic and being snowed in that’s so comforting/nostalgic. Also Hotchkiss is the favorite crazy auntie and we love her for it 😭
This was my first Nancy Drew game! Family friends would come over and play with us (we still quote Nancy Drew to each other). I remember getting stuck for WEEKS because we didn’t turn and explore a room completely- I got so annoyed that all they wanted to do was play when they came over LOL but after we solved it we became obsessed and would head over to Target whenever a new one came out :) Thanks for the nostalgia/ laughs, Joe!
Ok character prediction let’s go!!! In Person: Professor Hotchkiss: Joe will LOVE this character. Maybe will dress up as her as a sub count achievement goal. Dexter Egan: Joe will semi-hate this character but grow to at least empathize with him and buy him a shot. Will also complain underneath his breath about just HOW many chores he asks Nancy to do while she’s a LITERAL guest at this hotel. Jacque Brunia: Will like, then dislike, L O A T H, then suddenly LOVE again and proceed to be gay besties with. Probably will help him kill his fiancé in a DBD setting. Lisa: Will immediately drag her for dated look and continue to be passive aggressive towards the ENTIRE game because Joe is an ✨AqQuArIuS✨. Phone: The Hotel Owner: Will call her maybe once, hate the interaction, and never do so again. Bess and George: Call them when he’s in desperate need of a hint because he’s confused once again on what to do (very easy to do so in this game). Will complain that their hints make NO sense and never call them again. Or he might get bored enough to call because he wants to move the plot forward. Ned: Ned….is Ned. Joe would rather be calling The Hardy Boys and planning a threesome. The Police: Still not available. Probably off committing war crimes.
@@halfmoonjoe yeah I’m glad you do!! I’ve been an avid watcher since I found you from the Nancy Drew Fan Facebook community. I also love your Monster High, Dead by Daylight, and Clue playthroughs!! Thanks for taking the time to respond to me!
This is THE Nancy Drew game. The one that scared the piss out of my little pants when I was a kid, and since we had AIM on in the background, the "log-off" noise of the DOOR SHUTTING would make us jump every single time LMAO
I played this game with my sister when I was wee tiny and it took us moooonths to finish! But it was the start of our lifelong love for Nancy drew games (and French ski instructors). :’) I’m so happy you’re playing game this now Joe!!!
all the comments about the inventor of toaster strudel is really funny given how the guy who built the castle was supposedly the inventor of chocolate milk
Loved the video as always, Joe! I also love the Bess and George literally said "Be Gay Do Crimes, break into the room Nancy" and this game predicting Jinkx Monsoon winning RPDR
I feel attacked by everyone clowing the "castles" here in Wisconsin. Yes we have castles....yes....the one we are most known for is a cheese castle 😂😂 the only royalty here is our famous cheese curds.
This was the first Nancy Drew (and only one) I played! I'm glad you're playing this one. I remember on my first playthrough I was scared of progressing because I thought Hotchkiss was scary. I remember crying to my mom about it haha
Lol the same thing happened to me trying to find Nancy’s room when I was a kid! I eventually ended up assuming you couldn’t go back in and got hopelessly stuck until I eventually restarted. I felt dumb later realizing you had to click a specific spot but this was one of the first ones I played. It’s a top 5 game for me now but man it was frustrating ~20 years ago lol
I'm so excited! I just started playing this game two days ago. Got immediately stuck because I didn't get why Hotchkiss wouldn't take her ding dang boots!! I felt validated seeing Joe also walked away holding the boots. I'm glad he had chat to help! I walked around that castle for who knows how long, exhausted all dialogue options, changed the time, knocked on her door over and over... Finally gave up and used a guide because I thought it was a glitch!
I LOVED this game as a kid! I remember my mom helped me solve a bunch of the puzzelles 😅 She likes to watch your vods with me so I will have to tell her you're playing this one ❤ The environments in this one are amazing, and there's sooo many places to explore compared to many of the later games.
I think this is a Home Alone #2 situation and that old lady isn't real. She's being played by a little boy with a credit card that has a clown doll he's using to fool people.
Joe this was my first ever Nancy Drew Mystery that I played with my dad and sibling when I was like 4 years old, and it's one of my favorites to this day!
Replaying nancy drew as an adult is shocking because of all the grown men flirting with a teenage girl!! Even Dave in secret of shadow ranch asking if she has a steady! Like, excuuuuuse me???
It was so cool watching this live for the first time yesterday!! Seeing “alayna_daniella” comments on the chat is BIZARRE LOL! Hope I get another off day to watch the stream live again-so fun! Always look forwards to my end of the day UA-cam watching :)
You know Lisa is a professional gossip when she says "dont quote me on that" as much as she breathes LMAO

that sounds like such an amazing memory and experience!
Awww wait I had the same experience!!! 🥹❤️
Me toooo!! I loved this game!
Omg this is exactly my experience 😂: first game, with friends, stuck for weeks 😂

Jauque: “I’m sure you have many secrets Nancy.”
Joe: “Yeah I’ve killed some people.”
When I tell you that took me OUT. 😂🤣😂
This was my first Nancy game when I was in elementary school. I got stuck in that stopped elevator for hours. I was so mad lol
I played this game with my sister when I was wee tiny and it took us moooonths to finish! But it was the start of our lifelong love for Nancy drew games (and French ski instructors). :’) I’m so happy you’re playing game this now Joe!!!
I played it with my sister too! One of my earliest memories 💕
1:08:52 I am absolutely screaming at the quotes in LOC looking like something out of a fortune cookie 💀💀💀
How funny that you met Hotchkiss alllllllllllll the way back when you first played Tomb of the Lost Queen and here she is again!
all the comments about the inventor of toaster strudel is really funny given how the guy who built the castle was supposedly the inventor of chocolate milk

I love that Lisa sounds like a teen but looks 35
I had my parents make couscous for dinner because of this game lol

Dang this game seems to be like the best selling Nancy Drew game or something. Even people unfamiliar with Nancy Drew know this game lol.
"That's just not real." Talking about a fictional animated video game.
me and my sisters played nancy drew games growing up and they're still some of my favourite games
OMG!! This is the first Nancy Drew game I ever finished!! Can't wait to see your reactions, it's a fun one :))
No way mine too!!! My first game was “Secret of the Old Clock”, but I wasn’t big brain enough to figure it out as a child. 😂😂😂
Joe this was my first ever Nancy Drew Mystery that I played with my dad and sibling when I was like 4 years old, and it's one of my favorites to this day!
My very favorite Nancy Drew game 🤩
Oh my god not me missing out your livestream playing my fave ND game
Hotchkiss's dress? Real eyes realize waffle fries, Joe.
Replaying nancy drew as an adult is shocking because of all the grown men flirting with a teenage girl!! Even Dave in secret of shadow ranch asking if she has a steady! Like, excuuuuuse me???
Yayy! I finally get to see Joe react to Jacques
Yessss this was the first Nancy Drew game I ever solved!!
It was so cool watching this live for the first time yesterday!! Seeing “alayna_daniella” comments on the chat is BIZARRE LOL! Hope I get another off day to watch the stream live again-so fun! Always look forwards to my end of the day UA-cam watching :)
So happy to have this on a Wednesday 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thanks Joe 💖💖💖
Libary 😂 bruh
Omg I’m wearing that 64 shirt rn while watching this
As someone who lives in Wisconsin I can confirm, we do not have any castles lol
Wow Joe really called it from the beginning
Professor Hotchkiss my beloved.
The german castle pales in comparison to this mental circus haha :)
When your name is Fanny 🫣😂
So they act like the Castle is weird. But I lived near Spring Green. Which has The House on thé Rock and a jet that’s also a restaurant
Not to mention Wisconsin Dells.
My angel number is 311! Love that it's in this game♡ means I was supposed to be watching haha 😂
We stan Lisa tho 👀
I mean…..she’s very Boss Bitch Crazy.
Hey sausage sleuths! 🌛
Omg I’m so excited!!! Are you planning on re playing any Nancy drew games?
I might attempt some on senior detective after I finish them all! but I'll probably replay many of them anyway.
bonj hour
I just heard,,, the chat is sooo funny
