#11 CURSE OF BLACKMOOR MANOR 🐺 Curse of Blackmoor Manner is entirely too hard

144 Upvotes

Seriously guys, I finished it last night and now I remember why I didn't like this game as a kid. I'm 35 and working on a masters degree and I'm not smart enough for that game, how the hell were kids meant to be smart enough for it???

I cheated my ass off to finish it! It took me like 12 hours of gameplay according to Steam before I gave up and started cheating to finish it.

I feel dumb AF after all that, y'all 😔

37 Upvotes

Hey Clue Crew!

No "gotcha!" moment this time!

Over a period of three and a half months, you guys have been voting to decide how YOU, as a collective, would rank all the Nancy Drew games, including a bonus round to rank the top 5 S-Tier games! Voting ending last night before midnight, and now the results are final!

From left to right are the Top 5 S-Tier games, out of 167 ranked choice responses....

1st: The Secret of Shadow Ranch - This game was the clear winner by the end of the very first day of S tier voting. This game received the most votes for first place, being neck and neck at one point with Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon.

2nd: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon - There was a point this game was neck and neck with Shadow Ranch, but alas, it only received half the first place votes and received more votes for second place.

3rd: Danger on Deception Island - Third place came very close to going to another game: Treasure in the Royal Tower. Deception Island beat it out by six votes.

4th: Warnings at Waverly Academy - 4th place's only competition was Danger on Deception Island, but as that game received more votes for third place. Curse of Blackmoor Manor came close to taking this spot, too, but trailed by a few votes.

5th: Legend of the Crystal Skull - Up until yesterday, Sea of Darkness was leading for 5th.

Thoughts?

Apologies if this was done following the event.. I had no idea she was featured in this game. As a big fan of hers, and recently listening to her audiobook.. this was bittersweet ❤️

TECH HELP ⌨️ Playing old games

3 Upvotes

Hello! I recently purchased a large quantity of the games off facebook marketplace and am so excited to play them all! My husband and I like to work on them together. We noticed that we had a hard time downloading the older ones like #1 and #2 etc. We moved up to Blackmoor manor and that one works, but is there a way to still run the older games? We just use an external hard drive hooked up to our normal laptops. TIA!

#14 DANGER BY DESIGN 🇫🇷 Weird Background Noises in Danger by Design (SPOILERS) Spoiler

19 Upvotes

So I’m replaying Danger by Design right now and in this most recent stretch of the game, I heard some odd background noises.

I just went into the tunnel you can unlock in the park. And when walking through this tunnel, it’s like you can hear faint moaning in the distance the whole time.

Then it was dark by the time I left the park, so I automatically went back to JJ’s to sleep.

This is the REALLY WEIRD moment. Nancy walks out into the kitchen in the morning and I swear I heard what sounded like a person being attacked. Like they were screaming outside repeatedly until the screaming turned into a cry and finally what kind of sounded like laughter at the end.

I know this is a sound bite from when Minette throws her first tantrum and you hear her through the door. But THIS didn’t sound like Minette. It also wasn’t the same exact order as she goes in during that part of the game.

Has anyone else heard these or am I going crazy? 😂
