Just wanted to let you know, as someone who struggles with pretty serious anxiety, I find your playthroughs of games (and book reviews!) really calming! I often watch/listen as I do chores or get ready for bed. Particularly the classic games like this are quite wholesome to watch since they take me back to childhood. Thanks for all your work and quality sleuthing all these years!
Also, this was the first game I played and what I love about it is how the journals and letters are read by all the characters from the past. I think it really makes the story so much more vivid!
For the horse feeding puzzle there is a book in the den which has pictures of what feed is what. It's part of the things you're supposed to read when you do Tex's quiz.
Thank you for the warning. I would like to try it though, particularly for my sister's birthday. I found a channel hosted by two Nancy Drew fans who figure out the recipes for food from the Nancy Drew games and everything they make looks delicious and fun. I really do want to try making this cake. Maybe there's a way to not put so much sugar??
@@laheyclosetgirl sure! Here is the link that should take you to the video and recipe. Let me know if it doesn't work. ua-cam.com/video/f-q7RnRMink/v-deo.html I'm actually going to be making this cake today and hope it turns out great like theirs!
I’m so antsy about midnight in Salem that I’m needing to watch your gameplays 🙌🏻 (fun fact I think I’ve been following your channel or videos since I was in grade 8 👀 I’m 22 now)
OHMYGOODNESS!!! I'm so glad you're doing these again! I'm a huge nancy drew fan and my son (Who is almost 2) LOVES watching these mega marathons too! (This also happens to be my favorite game! :)
I just started to learn crochet and knitting. I’m looking forward to making a shawl with that daisy stitch, probably in green and blues. I’ll figure it out when I get there. In the meantime I’m gonna finish my first crochet blanket. And fix my first pillow. 😅
I love nancy drew! God its great and a new one comes out this year! I started recording playing them too and Shadow Ranch was always one I loved so damn much.
Claire McQuarrie He actually live streamed them all during the government shutdown earlier in January. He said he’s going to upload like 8 of them a month, and hopefully by that point, the new game should be out, or out soon.
Abbey Willow Well, he didn’t do it quite all in one go, not like a let’s-do-all-the-games-nonstop. He did multiple a day and multiple a stream. I think it took like 1.5 weeks, maybe?
1:03:11 I don't know why but I love the way he says, *"I'm busy."* so blank yet so cold at the same time. 2:23:21 Nancy, Dave told you he was running an errand, is it a crime to not be in your sights 24/7 now or something?
I just realised that Mary's animations are the same as.... I *think* Red Knott? They're definitely familiar. 1:06:14 Seriously, you should think about playing a game but overdubbing the voices with your impressions. That was dead on. XD 1:07:45 I wonder if that was originally going to be a thing that happened, like in the book? Seems odd how they mention it but nothing happens. The only thing close to rain is the pumphouse being sabotaged.
Dave: You got a steady back home?
Everyone: *SCREAMS*
I like how noncommittal her answer was.

Haha same here. I watch these playthroughs all the time. I find them relaxing 😌
You still years later I watch to help me relax. I find sometimes it helps me sleep too 😅
I wonder if the Rawleys treat their own niece like that. "We're sorry Bess, but we're sending you home until you can pick RIPE vegetables only. Bye!"
Makes no sense, and it's all guessing with so many things, especially the chores.
Also, this was the first game I played and what I love about it is how the journals and letters are read by all the characters from the past. I think it really makes the story so much more vivid!
Yeah, the narration makes all the backstory a lot easier to take in.
For those of you who came here for just one thing, 2:58:07 is probably what you want.
I'm colorblind when I was a kid I couldn't see if the fruit was ripe and I made my mom pick the fruit for me and she was so annoyed lol
I fell asleep to your voice while I was exhausted and then had to scroll back and watch it again
I did, too.
I LITERALLY CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GOT CLOSURE FOR BOB

My favorite.
What do you mean by voice readings?
@@3rcpro-life-semper1m5I know it’s been few years, but I believe she means how the letters and journal is read aloud by voice actors.
I’ve been binge watching these through quarantine and have not one clue how to solve half of these puzzles. I would go absolutely crazy
Shadow Ranch was my first Nancy Drew game, I cannot believe it’s been 15+ years.
I like how Tex calls it a quiz but you don't really have to know anything. The questions just repeat until you get all of them right.
I played this when I was a kid and could NEVER get past the bean section. So satisfying to finally see the full game!
It's not a Nancy Drew game without chores.
I made shadow ranch cake a few years ago. My advice--don't. This cake is THICK. Unless you like dense cake with wayyy too much sugar, STAY AWAY.

Uncle Ed: THERES A SNAKE IN MY BOOT!
You picked unripe veggies? You're off the case!
When does this happen ? I keep looking and can't seem to find it...
This has always been one of my favorites and I am from Arizona so I am very fond of it!!!
Aah a classic wonderful!
I am not going to lie, Dave is so handsome!!!

I never knew there was a rattler that could attack Nancy 😳
The fact that you’re just given the desk key without having to do chores first is just 🤯

*laughs in Millennial Arizonan at "scortching" ~90 degrees*
2:45:30 WHAT? I DIDNT KNOW THAT YOU CAN JUST STEP BACK AND MAKE THIS PUZZLE MUCH EASIER!! fuck this, im always did it with this wood panels...
I love nancy drew! God its great and a new one comes out this year! I started recording playing them too and Shadow Ranch was always one I loved so damn much.
PS I love if you ask where she replies "In the bedroom dear? I couldve sworn I mentioned that" and honestly I live for that line
What program do you use to record??
Admirable is the Most Holy Name of God.
You just crack me up!
I keep missing your live streams! Hope I don't miss the next one!
Claire McQuarrie He actually live streamed them all during the government shutdown earlier in January. He said he’s going to upload like 8 of them a month, and hopefully by that point, the new game should be out, or out soon.
Thanks Alison!
+Alison R He played them all at once????? How long did it took him?? 😲
Abbey Willow Well, he didn’t do it quite all in one go, not like a let’s-do-all-the-games-nonstop. He did multiple a day and multiple a stream. I think it took like 1.5 weeks, maybe?

2:23:21 Nancy, Dave told you he was running an errand, is it a crime to not be in your sights 24/7 now or something?
The 2 on the right for horse feed are probably fertilizer and mouse poison or something...
Does anyone think they use that "better get going" audio clip in a ton of games?

I noticed those animations right away, those are Joanna's from Secret of the Scarlet Hand, the exact ones.
Nancy and Dave 2k19
Tex is Batman
Papa Groot I knew it
Really though, a log cabin fire would be better for cooking so you have a flat cooking surface.
Alison R true!!! So true!!!
1:10:15 I believe that game over sequence only happens if you're playing on "Senior Detective" mode.
nope
Do you know what I noticed, part of the music scene sounds similar to The Simpsons intro music in a sense.
1:17:47 I get that they didn't have ovens in Frances Humber's day but that cake recipe has no baking instructions. None at all.
I gave up on this game. Idk if it was a glitch but no matter hoe much kindling I got it was never enough
Oh that's sad! It would be nice if you could have a chance to complete the game.
Tex’s voice makes me genuinely scared. My whole body cringed
He’s creepy as fuck 😩
Can someone explain to me how Bess and George are cousins but they have the same Aunt and Uncle?
Bess' mum/dad and George's mum/dad must have another brother/sister being either Uncle Ed or Aunt Bet. :D
Can you upload the next two,please????
I played this as a kid and i never can finish it, now the game is broken so i can't play it again
Here shorty
I need help.. can anyone help?????
Junior
This game has the worst puzzles.
What’s bad about them? Genuine question bc I don’t really know many other puzzle games
