OH NO! WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR 2005! I don't think i'll be able to wait

I'm sorry but Linda needs to RUN - there is no amount of therapy that will fix that family dynamic lmao.

Jane essentially gaslighting her step mother into thinking she's becoming a werewolf and indirectly making people think she's going crazy 😬 she and the stepmom need therapy

So basically, when Jane would read those stories to her step mom, it was to essentially gaslight her into believing the story is true because she was changing into what was mentioned in the stories.

In all my years of playing this game a million times over I have NEVER SEEN that cloaked figure and seen the red glowing eye mechanism. I AM SHOOK.

They should've taken Jane for a psych eval and gotten her some serious help.

Girl just went back to humming cheerfully after showing you a threat she got and getting really upset about it. "This rune means I'm in danger! La la laaa..."

Glad I’m not the only one who was DONE with that child when she accuses Nancy of being the trouble maker. The nerve of her lmao. But wow, I mean, what Jane did is nearly unforgivable? She could’ve killed that woman and all she did was apologize? Whew what a forgiving father lol. That ending just kinda happened lol but this was still a fun Nancy drew! I had such a fun time with this one. Im already excited for the next one. Until next time!

I think I played this game 4-5 times before I started to get what was going on at the end 😂 [Spoilers] . . Nancy was originally asked to go to Blackmoore because she used to be friends with Linda, and linda's mother was super worried about her. Jane trying to turn her step mother into a werewolf is unrelated to the metorite and just related to Jane being a terrifying twelve year old who is sad about her parents divorce - unfortunately because she used the legend of the Blackmoore beast to try and scare away Linda, Nancy's case got wrapped up in the whole "family secret" in order to prove that Linda wasn't REALLY turning into a werewolf There is a lot of story hidden in little sound bites and throwaway/optional dialogue lines! The metorite was originally found by Randulf the Red, and shortly after he found it he started becoming super successful at military strategy - eventually proving himself so helpful to the king that he was given the land Blackmoore Manor was built on as a gift. He's also the one who had a son who was a peaceful farmer type, uninterested in joining the military or continuing that legacy - but the grandson (Milo) was just as good at battle strategy as Randulf so a conspiracy started that the meteorite gave every other Penvellyn generation special powers. Because of this, every other generation was supposed to be "inducted" into the family secret around the age of twelve or so. This means that each Penvellyn was keeping the meteorite a secret and telling their eldest grandchild about it - so the last 'initiate' was Alan - Mrs. Drake's brother/Janes grandfather/Hugo's father/the man who designed the ghost hunt- making Jane (about 12 years old) the next in line to learn about and keep the metorite a secret. Unfortunately Alan died when Jane was super young, which is where Ethel's job becomes relevant. 500 years before the events of the game, Charles Penvellyn conscripts a Bosiny (one of Ethel's ancestors) into the service of tutoring Penvellyn children and being sort-of in the know about the family secret in order to keep the link going in case a grandparent is not around to induct the next twelve year old. (I think it was implied that the original Bosiny was blackmailed into it??) But in any case the Bosiny family has been somehow convinced to keep this up for 500 years and now Ethel is mid way through the process of showing Jane how to access the secret meteorite and design a puzzle to hide it - the history lessons and family tree are supposed to give her context for why "just a stupid rock" is an important family treasure. This is also why Ethel is weird about nancy and threatens her - nancy being able to solve these puzzles is a direct threat to like. 500 plus years of work both families have done to make sure ONLY the correct Penvellyn Heirs can find out about the magic space rock. The meteorite was hidden by Randulf and Milo because they believed that if they lost it they would lose their new-found wealth and status and 500 years later it seems to be that it's more tradition than anything else keeping it hidden. Although the secrecy is still great for the family - for example they have people trying to write books about them because of the mystery surrounding their family and I imagine they would get some royalties, publicity, or other income from Nigel's book being published, so in a roundabout way the metorite is still protecting the Penvellyn family's wealth and status ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nancy: *looks at statue* "You're one big drink of water aren't you." Me: mkeh...

Wow, that was the most abrupt ending I've seen in a Nancy Drew game.

I love ned so much, him checking in on nancy are some of my favorite little conversations! I'm so happy you played this game, and I hope you play more nancy drew games!!

These are so fun! Secret of the Old Clock was the first Nancy Drew book and one of my favorites!

In case you didn't know Nancy Drew does date back to the 1930s, those books are very hard to get ahold of because they were all rewritten (I believe in the 70s) to remove a BUNCH of heavily racist stuff and all of the "flapper" imagery.

I'm so glad you played this one!! If you wanna go back to the states I suggest Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull ! You're in New Orleans with Bess and George; it's creepy and spooky and always damp and dark!

What's with Ethel tho? She was definitely shady and a descentend of the Wich that was burned (was an adopted penvellyn)... I thought she was plotting to get the treasure for herself! 🤷

Edit: can you imagine if these games had a step counter after all of the great hall pacing and stair climbing? Omggg I remember playing Secrets Can Kill and getting stuck in the library. I never got out. 😂😂 I pretty much gave up on games after that lmao

As for someone who played these all the time with my mother, Legend of the Crystal skull, The Silent Spy, and Wolf of Icicle Creek are all really fun ones

thanks for such a fun gameplay gab! i can't wait for the next nancy drew you'll be playing 😊

Jane really said Girlboss, Gatekeep, Gaslight 🤣

I just love the 'Jane? I told you not to touch it'

With watching your videos, this is the first time I’ve actually understood the whole storyline and puzzles. I grew up playing these games, but would get stuck and have to look up the answer at times. Your brain at that age doesn’t comprehend as much as you think it does, at that time, haha. 😂Arglefumph is good for getting the answers quickly, but your videos are good for actually understanding the puzzles and story! 💛

I love how alllllll the extra spooky shit occurs right before the end of the game for Gab. I’ve never seen it happen like the before, because it’s usually spaces out or you miss some of them entirely!

It might be kinda obvious, but the pillar with the cupids that says "Omnia Vincit Amor" - "Love always wins!" depending on how directly you wanna translate it. Omnia - All Vincint - (It) conquers Amor - love In Latin, they form sentences a little differently than we do in English.

omg i was literally just like "i hope she uploads this soon im bored" and the notification popped up. what kind of sorcery- also, edit: just realised this game is older than me-

I’d love it if you started at number one and played all the Nancy Drew games!

That ending haha it was so sudden I wasn't expecting this? What was the deal with the ritual in the end? And the threat? Does anyone know if Gab actually ended early by doing the last puzzle early or was that really all the infos?

My senior prom is in 2.5hrs and I’m so lucky you posted this! I was dreading trying to find a video to watch/listen to and then I saw you posted this a few hours ago! Thanks and I’m loving watching you play these Nancy Drew games!

The way I’d divorce that dude after this. Better yet not even marry him. It’s so weird to me that a dude with a kid just marries someone whilst not ensuring that his partner and his child are getting along and have some bonding going on. Like that dude just marries her, then dumps his daughter who she barely knows onto her, to then go on his obligatory business trip. “Here sweetie, that’s your new mom. Well then I’m on my way, bye”. Like he married the woman just for her to be reduced to being a mother for the kid whilst he’s away. And then he didn’t even do the minimum of bringing them close/ creating opportunities for them to get to know each other, form a deeper connection etc. And yes that is his responsibility, as the one that is the reason those two even know each other and are bond to each other. Edit: the fact alone that she was gaslit and manipulated to the point of her thinking she’s going crazy in this grand scale just shows that there is a lot to do. That there is a disconnect between the two of them but also the dad and his daughter!! Yikes, that wasn’t one of those deathly antagonists but it was scary nonetheless with how a little child went to this length

In the years I’ve played this game I’ve never seen the note Jane got

I absolutely love that you play Nancy Drew games! These were my childhood!

I always thought that this rock is a philosopher's stone, I mean that would make sence - the alchemy symbols, the insane protection etc.

Do Silent Spy or Castle Malloy next! Sean would love it

Man. If hair restorer really worked like that...

I've been playing these games with my mom for almost 15 years, I love watching you play them!

Please do the Haunting of Castle Malloy next! It's one of my favourites, and I'm kinda curious what Seán would make of it too. The one that came out right after this one, Secret of the Old Clock, is the one I'd recommend after that one. It's another favourite of mine, mainly cause of some of the gameplay mechanics, and also cause they mixed it up by setting it in the era of the books. It's also one of the few actually based on one of the Nancy Drew books as well, which was fun. It's so different than the rest of the games but it's super fun and is a sort of breath of fresh air in the midst of the rest of this era of the games which were fairly formulaic (though in no way bad). So yeah, Haunting of Castle Malloy, followed by Secret of the Old Clock are the next two I'd love to see you play through most!

Linda using the lotion as if that'd help her Condition 😂😂

The water drop was wrong and i was screaming at my phone. The struggles are real

honestly this game was one of the hardest ones i played. I hope you play Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. The game is a ds game (or at least i think thats the only platform its on). Or even better, there's a game by Capcom called Ghost Trick Phantom Detective. The game is phenomenal. Sadly at the time of its release, the game was overshadowed by the 3ds being released so only a few copies were made.

I absolutely love watching your playthroughs. Nancy Drew is one of my favorites!!

I have enjoyed other Nancy Drew games but I never could get into this one because most of the puzzles totally elude me in their gameplay or understanding the rules.

At 9:58 when she had one in the first and 5 in the middle and 2 on the third she could have moved the middle where she had five over to the third section and it would have given her 3 in the third section and 4 in the middle and see could have moved the 3rd to the first and she would have had four in the first section too

I forgot what game I previously suggested, but I think Castle Malloy or Phantom of Venice should be next. Then again, Secret of the Old Clock is pretty fun too! 😊 I love that you’re enjoying the Nancy Drew games. A little suggestion - pay more attention to your surrounding areas. 😉

As someone with a degree in Classics with a focus in Latin I felt like I should have known what so many more of the Latin phrases meant lmaoooo. When you don't use your Latin you lose it so fast

I’ve been waiting anxiously for this to drop! I loved it and I hope you play more soon!!

Love love these Nancy drew game playthroughs. I've only played up to Waverly academy one. But every one of them is worth it :) if you want spooky I recommend the haunted mansion, shadow ranch and ghost dogs (I am pretty sure I got some of the names wrong). Puzzle wise black moor manor was my all time favorite

I just realised the clock has the same melody of my grandparents one, remind me of home

This was supper fun to watch, I hope you do another Nancy Drew Game!!!

I'm really enjoying watching you play these Nancy drew games!

Gab, you should play Haunting of Castle Malloy next! Its one of my favorites! I feel like you'd really enjoy it!

This reminds me of the fact that my sister and I used to read the Nancy Drew books when we were kids.

I hope gab plays the entire series

ohh so the meteor is prolly that “stone” that randulf the red, the very first penvellyn or whatstheycalled was said to have credited his success to, rmbr? the one that jane told us about from the family tree, so that’s why it’s rly important to hide it

Gab is the first and only female gamer I idolize now. Fun Fact: I found Jacksepticeye's Channel on this march then Gab's channel a month after (April). I can see why they're so fit well as a couple. They can entertain me even by watching their old contents ;D.

Can't wait to see you play more ND games!! I've played all of them over the years and they're SO fun ... when the graphics work lol

Ayy I’m early and it’s an upload of my favorite series! I’ll watch after I finish some work I have. Very excited!!

BTW, you missed a few tidbits of Penvellyn family history by not going back to read Nigel's laptop notes after scaring him off. Like how Elinor wasn't really a "fairy baby", but the illegitimate daughter of a peasant girl who'd dropped her newborn off on the Manor's doorstep, in the hope she could have a better life that way. Or a little more information about Corbin's son Phillipe - probably the most interesting *non*-initiate in the family, IMO - having been a pirate.

Thank you for all the entertainment Gab ! I had to binge watch your old Japanese indie horror games the other day :D I love how much you get into the games !!

stay tuned for danger next!!! i love your nancy streams. i even got on twitch to participate next time hahah

It was made in roughly 2004, so it's one of the shorter games, but one of the most memorable.

Awesome playthrough! I'd love to see you play more Nancy Drew Games. My recommendations are Danger by Design and Warnings at Waverly Academy! Thank you for being you!!

More Nancy Drew Games. This was delightful. I also really enjoyed The Secret of the Old Clock game, so hope you get to play that someday too as well as Haunting of Castle Malloy

I love the ND games, glad you are enjoying them!!

The game looks awesome👍👍👍👍

one of the biggest nancy drew games with one of the worst endings. oh well! we all had fun watching for sure lol

This game and watching you play was fun! :)

One of my all time favorite series. Some entries are better than others but they all have good qualities. The only one I think I actively disliked was Ransom of the Seven Ships. Out of 33 games though I think that's a really good track record lol. Seems like you're going for the spookier games first. Not sure if that's a coincidence or planned but if so you should go for The Captive Curse next. Really enjoying these!

So happy I stumbled onto your channel! Please play treasure in the royal tower sometime!

Play more Nancy Drew :D , i love watching you play these games ^_^ xxx

I just watched the ending of one of my favorite series on this channel! I was a bit upset tbh.. I too expected it to last longer, but great game (and gameplay) nonetheless!

I missed quite a bit from this game and Message in a Haunted Mansion. I had the turkey, but it didn’t affect the pitcher plant, and I didn’t go back at night.

Oooo last train to blue moon canyon with the Hardy Boys is a good game that you should play next

I'm old enough to remember Cranston Manor.

Really thought the entrance floor maze & oil would have something to do with the ending

Wahoooo! New video!❤️

How is no one concerned that a supposedly 18-year-old is going to all these places and solving 50+ year old mysteries???

Yessss.. my brain craved this.😅💖

I'd love to see you play Nancy Drew last train to blue moon canyon or the secret of shadow ranch!

you should play haunting of castle Maloy, that one if my favorite and I think you'll enjoy that one!

The glasses and the angle of the camera make her look like Sutton Foster

Really enjoyed this one 👍

19:20 Bruh if that lotion just has Rogaine in it, I'll die

You should definitely play nancy drew 32: sea of darkness, its definitely one of the best in the series

The ending of this game was really strange

I loved this game

Your editor is great.

You need to try Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake! There are so many good ones😊

PLAY THEM ALLLLLLLLL!!!!! NANCY DREW AMD GAB SMOLDERS!!!!?? My two favorite things

That lady that works with the plants has almost the same voice as one of the characters from simpsons I think? Unless it’s indeed her

Let me tell you that the cloaked man scared me so bad that I took me like two years to build up the nerve to finish this game lmao. I was like 8 when I first played and I was too chicken to open it up again

which ND game do you think you might play next?

👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Top of the mornin

I don’t know if you already have but you should play white day

Damn I used to watch your kuon videos

Nice video

secret of the old clock is my favorite game of the whole series🥺

Your face look like celine dion in the thumbnail haha

And who left the threatening messages? Was it Jane the whole time?

U should play hollow knight it’s very good
