Midnight in Salem Saddened Me
I have played the Nancy Games since the wee age of 5 in 2000, gathered around the clunky PC fully engrossed in solving mysteries with my two older sisters.
Flash forward to replaying them all in 2015-2017 on my Mac- Midnight in Salem was being produced and then released in 2019.
First I found out my girl, the OG, was not voice acting anymore and it made me so upset that I didn’t have any sense of online presence for the sheer reason of hyping up the game prior enough for the importance of a known voice actor being well known.
Then this game comes out…. Which for anyone who went through it can hopefully just relate on what a wonky experience it was. It was the entire lead up also- me following the switching of engines and alllll the fuCKING DELAYS AGAHEKFFIHENS
The pro is it lead me to knowing this thread even existed and uniting me with Nancy Drew lovers worldwide. Playing it was saddening after all that on and off lead up. Of course things happen behind the seen but the gameplay was such a letdown I scrubbed it from my mind.
Because of this…. I sadly didn’t realize that a new game came out in 2024???? IM SO EXCITED?? I can only hope the inner company and design issues made it over the hump it had and this will be a better experience for me.
So…. Anyone else as impacted by a computer games release 😂 Did anyone enjoy Salem (I hope someone did)?
Shoutout to all you in this fandom!
P.S. I never knew there was Ned hate? I always liked them together 🤷♀️ Can I get more tea on that?
I like that he isn’t that involved, my girl Nancy is independent and gets to decide the kinda relationship she wants (at lease that why it never bothered me). I always want him to pick up the phone but thought it was more of a running gag 😂
P.S.S. I’m playing the Hercule Poirnet games on my Switch and the third installment is the exact kinda 3D oddness but since the previous ones never got the graphics to a point I liked it - it’s less nerving but same exact vibe and mouth movement as MIS. I just started it so that’s probably what lead me into this rant so thanks for reading 😂
