PLEASE NEVER STOP PLAYING THESE GAMES! Both Nancy Drew and your channel have been the most therapeutic parts of my day.

Imagine getting a parrot as a kid and it's still with you by the time you're in your 70s. My god.

The word leech probably goes with barber because leeches were one of the most common way for bloodletting back when it was a medical practice. It was barbers that did the procedure, it's why barbershops have that white and red cylinder outside their doors, it was how they "advertised" that they did bloodletting.

Largest parrots grow to be the oldest! I used to work at a pet shop, and I had this client who was in his mid-fifties who had inherited a 50-year-old African Grey Parrot from his recently deceased father. The parrot was under so much anxiety because of the changes going on that he was pulling his feathers off. He did get better and was very loved! As long as I know he is still alive, and it's been around 10 years since then!

i lost it during stream when chat was convinced there was a third ghost in the conservatory, gabs spent like forever trying to find it and it turns out it just was a flower lmao

The line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat," is from the movie Jaws

This episode reminds me of the time my glowstick died while I was deep down in the gargoyle secret passage. It was pitch black, I couldn't find my way out, and I had to just quit. 😑 I hadn't saved in like 90 minutes and there was no second chance save, so I had to redo so much stuff. 😭 Moral of the story: always rush to get a new glowstick when Nancy says you need one

The painting of "Jane's ancestor" with the gargoyle is literally a painting of the philosopher John Locke lmao

What I love about the Nancy drew games is you also learn things at the same time

Ethel: *literally threatening someone* Gab: *NOM NOM*

Omg when this game first came out my friend and I were running back and forth doing the word game in the secret passageway, and when the tutor popped up outside the door and jump scared us, we screamed *so loud* that my mom got mad at us for being too noisy 😂

Nancy getting eaten by the carnivorous plant is one of the funniest things I have EVER seen in a video game. These games are GOLD

Poor Jane, no wonder she’s “strange” when she lives in a creepy castle, doesn’t see another child for months on end, and has daily tuition starting at six o’clock in the morning. (The creepy rituals are just the icing on the cake!)

I'm so glad you noticed the blinking gargoyle and edited it to show it happening!! Honestly thought I was going crazy when I played this game!!

Those moving rooms are such a giant headache, haha. You figured that out way faster than my siblings did (and honestly I never properly figured it out.. I just followed a guide when I got to that part). I really appreciate how methodical you are when you're working on puzzles. :)

"DON'T LEAVE ME, I LOVE YOU!!!" Agreed, SO aggressive...and yet, kind of adorable.

" What did you eat?" Nothing GaB, you forgot to feed her 😆

The fact that they all of there own coat of arms is pretty accurate. A coat of arm represent only one person, but usually the next generation would choose a really similar motive, with just smaller alterations. Often with some elements the family had for generations. btw thanks for the lets play

all these years later and I still have that gargoyle pattern memorized XD watching you play this has been SO much fun I'd forgotten how clever these games are!

Discovering the forge is, in my opinion, one of the greatest Nancy Drew game moments. After all of the tricky puzzles with both secret passages, the parrot word game, the runes, both sides of the triangle puzzle, the moving rooms, AND the alchemy puzzle, you’re rewarded with not only SO much lore, but also SO much guidance to help you solve the remaining puzzles. So damn triumphant, and I’m happy to see you making it this far. ^-^ If you were a Penvellyn adding another puzzle to this legacy, what would you do? Lol

Barbers used to be blood letters, which is probably where the connection between 'barber' and 'leech' comes from.

Nancy has a worse sleep pattern than I do, and I’m a nurse in A&E

I've been repeatedly watching your playthroughs of ND recently - my mom introduced them to me and she died in June. We bonded over how crazy and hilarious LouLou is ❤❤ we would hunt for the physical copies together and actually get so excited to load it up right when we got home. Thank you for these playthroughs. I feel like I'm giggling with my mom again ❤

I love that you are playing Nancy Drew games because this one in particular is SO NOSTALGIC to me. Also you are damn good because I couldn't figure out half these puzzles throughout my entire childhood lol.

Never stop playing these games the Nancy Drew fans LIVE for it

you can also pronounce lycanthropy like: Lie Can Throw Pea

Loulou has a cousin in another Nancy Drew game. Ransom of the 7 ships

36:52 I was waiting for that to happen at some point, whether on purpose or on accident. One of my favorite death animations in the series lol

"Bis Vivat Qui Bene Vivat" He lives twice who lives well

I think that is the true legacy of the family: games. The latin saying in the first episode "ludes sine gaudio non ludes sunt." Games without fun aren't games.

For context on the Barber-Leech thing: during medieval times, barbers would perform surgery on clients involving leeches, and so always had a jar of them around!

If you make more of these you have to play either "Secret of Shadow Ranch" or "Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon" they are both hilarious and nostalgic 😆

I've never clicked on a notification so fast!! Your calm energy and lovely voice is PERFECT for Nancy Drew games, especially such a classic and nostalgic one as Blackmoor Manor

Not sure why but my cat Tink always insists on jumping up on my desk whenever there's a Nancy Drew game on the screen it's so cute watching her fall to sleep watching you play.

The funniest thing about lulu the parrot is that, parrots are genuinely that smart AND *PETULANT* They're as smart as 5 y/o children and *WILL* demand to be praised before cooperating

I remember struggling to bring back my high school chem lessons during this stream. I learned so much from the chat haha. Definitely took notes to remember for future games. This was quite a puzzle! I think this is the most invested I have ever been in a Nancy Drew game. Child me would've never figured out these puzzles without a walkthrough and/or my science books! These games really taught a lot about so many subjects. Looking forward to struggling together with everyone next Nancy Drew stream!

Your point and click puzzle solvers are like the best series. Idk it's something about the retro vibes, how much you're clearly into it, or how you solve stuff that makes me feel dumb but I'm glad you did because I couldn't figure it out? Either way, best games ever!! I love all the content I'd otherwise not get to see because I'm bad at these games.

The little “pop” as the tutor leaves 😂

I'm having a glum day with my anxiety/depression where I feel like I'm gonna cry at any moment for no reason. I really needed this video to chill out to. Thank you Gab 💜

Omg, Secret of the Scarlet Hand should totally be your next game!

The one where Nancy gets eaten by a giant plant 😱 I was NOT expecting that LOL These games are just too fun. I never know what’s coming next. What other secrets is Loulou hiding?? 🐤 Thank you for the video 😊

"Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?" The character Hannibal Smith says that all the time in The A-Team! Is that a purposeful reference?

Please keep playing Nancy Drew games. I just found your channel and I love the way you do commentary on them. It’s getting me though some tough times. Thanks for playing them for us!!!

Some macaw parrots can even live past 100 years! I heard many will be passed down to the owners' kids/grandkids. Crazy to think about. Wish my kitty would outlive me like that.

Add this to your "kiss tax" routine... "DON'T LEAVE ME, I LOVE YOU!"

1:55:19 🤣🤣🤣 GAB : you're not ganna read the rest Nancy : keep reading

Ive known a snake eating its own tail to be the World Serpent from Norse mythology

I will never forget my first time playing this game, I knocked on Linda's room after being woken up in the middle of the night. It kept knocking and I got kicked out of the manor LOL This was probably my favorite Nancy Drew game growing up, but the puzzles were so hard that I gave up. Glad I found your channel!

Your Nancy Drew playthroughs are some of my favorites, I love watching you play!

I have been watching the Nancy Drew series from the beginning in your channel and it's superb. The games and the commentary you provide go together so well! This is the best gameplay channel on youtube, hands down.

Time for nosy Nancy! Yes!

Okay I’m inspired to play a Nancy drew game. Gonna so the last train to blue moon apparently has great reviews as one of the bests

"CAKE!! Lulu want CAKE!!" My gods, I used to quote that so much as a child. 🤣🤣 (I still do 😭)

the way nancy is just ruining this family’s generational puzzle game by solving everything

I like how the Betty penny game is all Greek muse names. Idk just made me happy.

I used to love these games! Its great seeing you play Nancy Drew, so nostalgic. :) While I agree it is super cool the family continues the tradition of adding a puzzle, imagine being so far DOWN the line and you're solving like 100 puzzles and your job is to add puzzle 101. XD

I think this is the first Nacy Drew game I have seen Nancy get a Game Over via death. Not even a specific death but just the game ending all progress and having the player reset a chapter/ checkpoint.

I know you have a lot of upcoming games to play but the nancy and stardew are my absolute favorites and will never get enough of nancy please more ma'am

Just when I thought I couldn't have anymore fun watching Gab stream this game, then MegaFragile appears, "ech hem, hold my beverage." I really appreciate Gab's sense of humor and well-balanced editing by MegaFragile. Thank you both for excellent work! I use to play these games with my neighbor whenever we could get them from the library down the street. So, I definitely have a soft spot for the Nancy Drew games, the cheesier the better. I send her your Nancy playlists whenever you start uploading new videos of a different case and that's how we stay in touch these days 🕵🏻‍♀️😊

5:55 The company that makes the Nancy Drew games is (was?) based in the state of Washington, which is probably why they chose Walla Walla as one of the "far-off" locations

not sure if it was answered by chat during the stream, but barbers used to also be surgeons back in the day. the white and red stripes supposedly came from the bloody cloths they left out to dry. anyway, the reason that 'barber' was associated to 'leech' might be because bloodletting was common practice around the same time, and leeches where the main way to accomplish that.

As a parrot owner, and friends of parrot owners, I can confirm they can get quite old. My best friend's Amazon was born in 1981, and macaw was born in the late 80s, and they are still around. The larger the bird, the longer they tend to live. Macaws are the type that can to live up to the 80 year mark. Smaller birds like Budgies and lovebirds tend to live 10-15, cockatiels and that size are 15-25 - these ages are for those in captivity (if well taken care of); Sadly, as with most animals, they don't live nearly as long in the wild. Basically, you put a parrot in your will for someone else to inherit. Lol!

I remember being *terrible* at the typing challenge. Normally I type quite fast, but the combination of typing and spotting the letters as the balloons appear just didn't click for me. Eventually, I realized that since there was no penalty for wrong letters, I could just drag my right hand's fingers back and forth along the three rows of letter keys on my keyboard, super fast, while hitting Caps Lock with my left every time the other case began to predominate.

I would hate to have to continue a tradition like this! Boy am I glad to be the second child!

I would love to see you play more Nancy Drew games! This franchise gives me so much serotonin ☀️💕

Ahahahaha I can’t believe they used a picture of John Locke as one of the ancestors

Gab never stop being awesome I love watching your content!

the way the spinning rooms demolished my brain until i realized that the disk was a map pls 😭😭😭😭

The parrot is a star of this game)))

never thought i would see the endings of nancy drew's games - i adored the one where she went to japan when i was little, played and re-played on my mom's computer, but was never able to complete it due to my small attention span (couldn't sit through some puzzles.... especially the sudoku). thanks to u i've already saw the ending to the mystery of the 'ghost' in ryokan, and i'm slowly making my way through your playlist with games about the detective! thank you so much.

Thank you for playing these games. Watching you play them remind me of my childhood

Yes. It blinks. It messed with me, too. 😂

Such a fascinating game & storyline. I love it.

Oh the story is getting so good! I can't wait till the next episode

Been binging the Nancy series for 2 days straight, now. 👻♥️🇵🇭

20:02 I actually isolated this sound and put it in my hubby's phone as his WhatsApp notification :D We are having a ball with it XD

I was waiting for this video for so long! While waiting I watched all the other Gab's Nancy Drew playthroughs and it was great, I definitely want more

you're my favorite youtuber to rest and fall asleep to, thank you for great content and peace

Thank u for your videos. Your first one recommended to me randomly, but after watching it I was so excited to see next so soon...and here it is!!!! Really like Nancy Drew game series and how u play it))))

Also I don’t know how hard it would be to find, it’s pretty old, but there was an Are You Afraid of the Dark PC game that had one of those fortune teller automatons and now I’m all nostalgic. It might be a fun one off for you!

i can't wait for you to continue these series. the best vibes

that bit with the disfigured paintings was genuinely disturbing

It would be rude to take your phone out in front of Nigel, but you can make all the international calls you want in front of Jane while looking at her mother’s photo

My family has several of those large, creepy portraits on the walls in the basement. That's where our sleepover guests get to stay.

I would LOVE to see you play Danger by Design!!

27:21 "I hope so" was a nice response you didn't seem satisfied with 🤣

If there is one thing I remember about this game from my childhood, it's Nancy Drew being swallowed by a giant carnivorous plant

I highly recommend playing Secret of Shadow Ranch and The Deadly Device which are 2 great Nancy Drew games!!!

I saw "Aeolus" and I immediately started singing the 'Keep Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer' song from Epic the Musical. 🤣

Gab Gab, the headpiece for the ritual looks like Gannon's head piece.

These are surprisingly fun, I need to play more puzzle games.

Yay! Nancy Drew! Love your gameplays 😍😍😍 Also your editor is FANTASTIC!

macaws can live up to 90 years

i love that you play these games!! i played these all the time when i was younger and i was obsessed with them. it’s so nice to see you play them and i hope you play more !! :)

I love how she hasn’t called Hugh ONCE and we’re halfway through the game. 😂

For the next time you do one of these could you maybe up the game audio? I had this playing during a road trip and I could barely hear the characters so I’d crank the audio up but whenever you’d talk it was like you were standing in front of a megaphone haha I really like these a lot especially for long drives but it’s so hard to hear the characters without blowing my eardrums out

I just noticed that Nigel’s memoirs reference The Secret of Shadow Ranch.

Nancy ate the shrooms before bed again

Making my way through all of gabs Nancy games and I’m having the time of my life! So much fun :)

I’m so glad I found your channel! 😭 I am recovering from having all of my wisdom teeth removed and these Nancy Drew vids are so relaxing and hilarious - they’re a great distraction! Thank you! ❤️
