Just got off work and I'm so hype. Even if the game is disappointing, I get to have more of Michael doing marathons and playthroughs. the community comes back together again and we all feel a little more connected. Good vibes.
Well said! 😄
The hardest part for me still is missing the old VA for Nancy
Same. :-/
Well, she’s got a bunch of lines in Genshin Impact! I recognized her voice almost immediately and was sooo happy!
OH MY GOODNESS!! So excited!!
2024 nancy drew mega marathon?
I miss her old voice "it's locked"
For sure, it wouldn't be a huge deal except the new voice actress just doesn't have the right energy. She sounds a little dry and lackluster, I hate to say. Nothing against her, she just isn't as incredible as Lani Minella
GIRL DONT I KNOW IT!!!! My friends and I actually play Nancy Drew games together once a month and when we played the Salem game we were sooooo disappointed in new ND’s voice 😭
Yeah, she almost sounds like and AI bot talking honestly. She sounds weirdly artifical and robotic.
I can't believe they actually gave a release date...I thought it wouldn't happen this year
I thought it would at Christmas, but maybe they couldn't wait that long for the revenue.
I love that we have this corner of the internet to freak about these games that we've loved for over two decades ❤
I love the way the environment looks in these newer games but the characters definitely need some work… I miss the way the older games looked!!
- Mom, I want Technology of the Modern World!
- We already have Technology of the Modern World at home, dear.

so does this mean you're gonna do a 2024 Mega Marathon?
You were the first person I ever subscribed on UA-cam. It's been so many years! I'm excited for gameplay! 😊
I am so stoked. I saw a LOT of negative comments on Instagram and I'm so confused...it looks amazing!!! Of course it's not going to have the same interface as the games made in the early 2000s. But the graphics look amazing! Also the suit of armor, the key, the alchemy...reminds me of one of my favs, Blackmoor Manor! I'm actually very excited about this game. They've had so much fun giving us puzzles and treasure hunts up until the release date. I love Nancy Drew. As long as HER keeps making these games, keeps Nancy and the Clue Crew alive, I'll be happy!!
It doesn't look amazing, just better than MID. A lot of people who play Nancy Drew games tend not to play any others, and don't have anything to compare them to. These aren't bad but aren't quite state of the art either. Not that that really matters if the game is good.
@@GraemeCree yeah I'm more interested in the storyline. I was excited about MID as well, but then we all found out the very obvious downfalls of the game. And this game could end up having the same outcome! Don't get me wrong...I would love a revamped version of some older games or if they brought back the old interface and were consistent with how the games have always visually looked. But I'm just thankful they are continuing to make these games in general ☺
There's a special brand of derpy energy these less than ultra modern graphics can provide 🤪👍
it looks like the same stupid mechanics that MID had
Wow, that looks intense! The Jewelry owner looks like she hasn't had sleep in forever. Poor lady.
Brittany Cox still sounds like she should be playing Barbie instead of Nancy. Otherwise (as with most trailers actually) it's hard to get a good read on whether or not the finished product will be good.
omg I had no idea it was Brittany Cox, I listen to her voice everyday when I play genshin HAHA that's so wild. I can hear how she's trying to sound like the original VA but it's just not the same:(
You must be so excited to be able to talk more about what you know about the game. So excited and it's coming out just in time for my birthday!!
Yay!!!! I take my engineers exam a few days after the release date so I’m totally getting this to celebrate and spend my weekend😊
Can't wait to see you play it.
Maybe get it myself if Steam has it. But I wanted to say this video was oddly quietly.
The puzzles look more spread out which is a good sign
12:30 That's a playing card. I believe the Czechs traditionally use a "German-suited" deck instead of the "French-suited" deck that's most common in the Anglosphere, so the full deck would be Leaves, Hearts, Acorns, and Bells instead of Spades, Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds.
I'm assuming it's either a red herring or some sort of deliberate calling card. It'd feel really weird for a master jewel thief (and noted Tarock enthusiast) to both take a full pack of 36 cards on a heist needlessly and then be so foolish as to _accidentally_ leave a card behind in the path of his getaway.
"There is only one who can stop them" the drama lol.
Also I didn't realize that accent was a prague-y accent. Its the accent of the bunny people in final fantasy 14 and I had no idea where to place it in the real world hah.
Michael, you’ve had a chance to play a little of the game, so I’m wondering what your opinion is about the graphics of this one compared to MID? From the trailer, it looks like it’s going to be so much better but that could just be wishful thinking. This one looks spooky, like CUR or GTH, and the October releases were always my favorite. Did they say anything about games moving forward after 34?
And most importantly, is it May yet?
Yes!! I was loving the spooky vibes 🥳🥳 and I agree; is it May yet??!?!?
Where did he announce that he had received early-access?
@@victoriam.4927 It’s in a Live stream he did about 6 months ago. If you go to his page and click on the Live tab, it’s not too far down the page. It’s a Q&A after he got back home from Washington.
I keep wondering if they are still going to have Ned help Nancy because, in Midnight at Salem, they made that scene a big deal where Nancy said my next case, we can do together, or something. So I wonder if that is actually going to happen or if we will be on our own.
YES. PERFECT TIMING. i just bought the last nancy drew game I was missing
*Me seeing this video on my feed* : A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
Where have I been? They’ve been making a new Nancy Drew game and I did not know until now.
Focusing on the game trailer alone, this game does look promising. Of course, it is just a trailer, not actual gameplay, so it's hard to judge. Still, I think this could be good. Plus, in my experience, if you go in with an expectation to be displeased by something, you probably will be, even if it something you would otherwise enjoy. So I intend to be cautious with my opinion until I see the actual game.
I wanted this for MiS as well, but just imagine how cool this game would be if it had a VR option, I feel like it would fit perfectly with this engine and give these new games a real interesting identity
I'm so EXCITED!!! i love watching you play these :D
Hope you plan to do a marathon!! Love to see it!! Been watching you since I was 12:)
I'll buy it and play it.....but man that voice acting (or maybe just the editing?) isn't the best.
Personally, the plot looks more like the older games(start with a simple mystery, but it gets more unsettling as the game progresses) than Midnight in Salem’s lackluster plot. It also looks beautiful compared to MiS.
I was going to say, I don't even mind the character models because it kind of takes me back to older Nancy Drew. It's giving vintage gaming. I think they put more work into the puzzles and environments (also like the older games) and they look gorgeous.
Agree! Like others have said I’m cautiously optimistic - it’s hard to tell from one trailer but fingers and toes crossed!
Oooo this is gonna be good!! I love watching your videos when i get stressed due to exams. Been doing that for the part 8 years or so. Now I will get to see you play a new Nancy Drew game. Looks better than Midnight in Salem. Yayyy so excited!
I can’t wait to watch this game here . My favourite NANCYDREW WALKTHROUGH
I can't wait for a new Arglefumph ND playthrough... like this is such a historic release for multiple reasons haha
I'm still excited for it, but it does look like a game that would've come out in the late 2000s. Just glad for another game though! Gonna recovering from surgery soon so it'll be something to keep me occupied during that time!
Ahhh I’m so excited! I am going to wait and see how it runs on people’s MacBooks but I’m very excited to potentially be able to play a Nancy game myself soon
Thank you!!!💖💖💖
Oh boy can't wait for your everything wrong video 😯
I hope this game actually springs off from MID's ending. Nancy promised Ned to take a time off from mystery solving for him or actually take him for the ride. I would be happy if she said "Oh, it's been (blank) year" since I did a mystery.
YUS so excited can’t wait for May 7th ^_^
I'm excited for the let's play!
Yessss!!! I'm so hyped for this one!!
Been a fan since the beginning! So excited for more ND videos from you
If we get a chemical puzzle, it better not be like Castle Malloy 🤣🤣
Also, "puzzle for a locked door" 🤣🤣 so funny, cuz it's literally her phrase "it's locked."
Serious question though, were the puzzles in Mid hard? I never played (I've only watched your playthrough since I do not want to buy it). If they were hard, I wonder if the puzzles in this game will be hard as well. I like puzzles, but if I literally cannot solve it without outside helps (like Arglefumph or walkthroughs) then I do not see a purpose in buying it; I might as well just watch you play through it and not waste my money.... I don't know, I'm very skeptical.
MID's puzzles were really bad and there were barely any. Hopefully HER has listened to criticism and there's more of better quality. The only puzzles I can remember weren't skill based, and specifically, one was so frustrating because it required pixel perfect precision (I think the graveyard puzzle towards the endgame)
@emoshell5265 thank you! I'll have to see how the Seven Keys is 🫠 like you said, hopefully HER listens to criticisms 🙃
I have I'm so EXCITED Nancy taking a trip to the Czech Republic the city of Prague I can't wait I love the narration I feel like I was in a movie or novel
I want to feel excited but this game looks like it won't work on my ancient computer similar to Midnight in Salem
It comes out on my bday!🎉
I hope it's good people didn't like the last game.
It is good that people didn't like the last game. It was horrible.
I'll never forgive HeR for replacing Nancy's voice actor. That, coupled with the new game engine, makes me not want to play this game AT ALL.
Don't hold resentment for a company when a voice actor who played a character for almost 20 years retiring the role. She was not fired, she is in her 70s and was ready to retire.
Them screwing up the potential on the engine and mucking up the character models and giving us a shoddy game like MID?100% fair game.
@@Kadora1090 Lani Minella did not retire the role. She was let go from HER.
New VA is so robotic it's hard to ignore....
@fireprincess1090 Lani did not want to leave. HeR fired her because they said they needed to find someone who sounded "younger". She sounded so much better as Nancy, no shade to the new voice actress but it is hard to get used to someone else voice this character.
Yeah she's so robotic, like I loved the old VA but tried my best to accept the new one but she's just not as good @@Theonlygracius
I still cant used to the need Nancy voice tbh
I’m excited! I’m easy to please, I see a new Nancy game I play it.
Wait! What? Shut up! A new Nancy Drew Game?!?! Yesss!
The worst thing is probably the voice actress for Nancy. She is terrible. She was terrible in MiS and she still sounds bad. It's not the youthful voice that is the issue, it's her acting which is not good at all.
The voice acting for characters seems fine.
From another video they showed the interface looks good, and the inclusion of both free-walking mode (actual proper free walking and not the "3D point click of MiS) AND classic point-and-click mode is great. It's actually pretty unusual, it's cool to give this freedom to the player, and I feel it could create two different playthrough experiences.
The environments we were shown look okay in terms of models and rendering but there are still some bad looking effects, like the fog, or that black moving cloud. The character models are better than in MiS but still not amazing. Very static expressions.
I'm happy that the new team is at least trying this time and not just outsourcing to freelance workers. I think there's a potential for something at least decent here, if the story is properly structured, if the character writing is on point, plus there does seem to be good overall atmosphere to the game, and excellent tone of the setting has always been on of the main appeals of ND games.
I still wonder what the hell happened that HER Intercative decided to completely revamp the team. The games were cheap to make while at the same time looking visually better than this because the people working on the game were professionals who worked for decades on the same engine and knew it's strengths and weaknesses. There's no way the games suddenly became unprofitable, they were obviously cheap to make with a fanbase dedicated enough to make that money back.
Chasing broader appeal HER increased the budget and tried to go for "new" technology but ended up with results that feel much more dated because the new team is inexperienced and any people from the older team that might have survived the layoffs are just not versed in a completely new engine.
The old team actually had members who knew how to use unity and yet they were still fired. I find this outrageous.
Imagine for a moment, that the series has begun again...
Midnight in Salem was Secrets Can Kill
Mystery of the Seven Keys will be Stay Tuned for Danger
May isn’t too far
Feels like blackmoor manor puzzles and I hated blackmoor manor.
Of course when im on a shopping ban until the end of june lol
And what a great exception this is! XD lmao
Will we get a mega marathon 2024???
Lets pack our bags for Prague! This is incredible 😊
Time for another marathon 😈
Graphics and characters are appalling haha, but as long as the gameplay and the mystery is good I won't mind much.
Whoa! A new Nancy Drew game?!?!?!
Yes, you can go back to sleep now.
ok I was NOT expecting the grahics to be from Treasure in the Royal Tower but ok then. I hope everyone but our client is the culprit.
Don't insult Treasure in the Royal Tower like that.
I'm really stoked they kept the old graphics. One, it panders to nostalgia babies who want to keep their childhoods alive. Two, it's an artform unto itself, like 16-bit games. It's such a solid medium to use for a fp puzzler.
I AM LITERALLY SO EXCITED!!!!
Ugh these character models are AWFUL! They didn't learn from our outrage at MID? Hopefully the puzzles and story are better than MID. Cautiously optimistic about this one.
They're a little better than MID. So they did learn something, just not enough.
Same! I’m still 😤 about this Nu ND direction the studio’s going in………. But hopefully it’ll be a little better?
@@SweetSelie Her isn't making this game, Mi'pu'mi Games is. I imagine it'll be at least a little better than their last one, but the Nancy Drew series we knew is gone. Lani is gone, the engine is gone, and Her doesn't make the games any more. At this point I'd rather that Her lost the license, and some other company that could put games out on a schedule, maybe 1 or 2 a year got it.
@@GraemeCree I'd wait to see how this game actually is like before saying HeR should lose the license lol
@@camelliaharpdarkthrope6462 Even if it's great, I'd rather have a company that can turn out games periodically, rather than one game every 5 years or so. Since this new series has very little to do with the series that ended with Sea of Darkness, and HER isn't even making this game, just outsourcing it, lots of other companies could do what Mipumi Games is doing here.
Im only bumbed out because i cant tell what they are going for. Is it a jewel thief? Is it ancient prog history? A dangerous monster? Its like they are trying to add every nancy drew trope into one narative, and im not sure how to take it.
Man, as an ND fan living in Prague I'm so disappointed. I can tell very little care went into this game as the scenery is wrong (where are all of our glorious red roofs?), they didn't event attempt a single Czech accent, and the history of alchemy in Prague is a very small part of Czech culture and something really just played up for tourists. Prague also isn't known for gems besides garnet- why not do something related to communist times, something to do with Jan Hus or really anything more related to Czech history? After all this time the graphics and voice acting sadly also haven't improved making this game totally unplayable for me. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.
To be fair, Nancy Drew games rarely (if ever) portrayed non-American settings truly accurately. It was always somewhat corny, with bad accents and portrayal of usually only cultural elements that would be recognizable for an American audience. This was kinda the appeal, too, the point was never realism.
The voice actor for Nancy is so grating. The environments look muddy and dull. MID sucked, but at least there were Halloween decorations.
All the other VAs are fine. She stands out in a not good way :(
Yes it's so sad :( I live in Prague and it's one of the most colorful cities I've ever been to. Everything in this game is brown and gray when in reality all of the buildings on the main square are of bright colors with red roofs. They'll say it's to make it "spooky" but I think it's just lazy environment design.
