Fail Memes and Spring Break
March 20th, 2017
Last Friday we finished playing Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy on Twitch. Now you can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel, in case you missed any. Here’s Day Four:
And because of of my epic failure to pick up and drop chemicals with grace and poise (at least 5 times exploding myself) I had to make this meme. Please tell me I’m not the only one who has suffered the consequences of failure at this puzzle… >_<
Hey all! If you haven’t seen, we have a Spring Break sale this week! Shop here.

Yep. I feel the same for the chemicals! I think every time I try it, I try to see if I could do it without exploding…I haven’t tried it in awhile…perhaps I should play HAU again sometime…
No matter how many times I play through this game (and believe me, I play through a LOT) I always mess it up and explode. >.< 🙁
In my opinion five times is tremendously good. When I played that game the last time, I stopped counting at around 20 times.
Hey Little Jackalope!
When I do that chemical puzzle in the Haunting of Castle Malloy, it feels like I always die like 15 times before I finish the puzzle. So your not alone! 🙂

Hi LJ,
If for some reason MID cannot be completed, please can you release (or sell) the script of the game, so that the fans can have closure and as a kindly farewell to all of us who have loved the games and company all these years?
I would be so sad not to see how the game is after all this time.
Thank you!
Hello again Jackson, the script or art from the work on MID will not be available for purchase, but if there are any behind-the-scenes fun facts or bits I could share with you in the future, I will be sure to share it on the blog. MID is still in the works, so stay tuned for future updates.
Yes! This would be great to get as closure from a company we used to know and love! RIP HeR!
I mean if the game doesnt come out. If the game is released, I understand that you cant sell the script. Thank you for considering this and passing on the suggestion! 🙂
PS maybe you could sell the script of Ship of Shadows as an ebook while we wait for MID, that would be so cool! I bet you would get lots of sales!
I think that’s a really cool idea! I woudl love to read the Ebook.
Wasn’t Ship of Shadows like, practically complete when it was shelved? Why wouldn’t HeR release a game that was already made? All that work for nothing.
That was a rumor, Shop of Shadows only had some art and some rough design done. It was only starting to be built at the time of the recession.
Hi LJ,
What about the script? Was that done for Ship of Shadows?
Thanks!
(maybe while we wait for MID you could share SOS stuff, that would be so fun!)
Hi again Jackson, I really don’t know about the script. That game was started before I joined and the original writer is no longer at the company. I also can’t seem to find it in our archives. Sorry!
Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up!
Thanks for looking, LJ! Maybe someday you will uncover it in a secret passageway 🙂
LJ if you can’t fix the mini games on the website who does it cause i want to see how many jumps i did to beat it i just did 23 jumps on it
Hello Teresa, the people who made these mini games no longer are at the company. It would be difficult to update them. 🙁 However, you can play the games within the game they were made from. For example, the horse-jumping game is from Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, and in that you can play the horse jumping as many times as you’d like. 🙂
when are we going to get an update for mid.
Hello Susan, I’m not sure when the team will have news to share, but when we do, I’ll be sure to update the blog and the web site. 🙂
Hi LJ!
When you say “team,” who exactly are you talking about? I thought the employees left?
I mean everyone in the company, particularly the leads.
The chemicals puzzle and catching all the sheep were the hardest in the game! 🙂
Totally agree!
Where is the maps for family irish names tou mentioned was on this blog?
Hi Natalina! It’s near the bottom of this post here. 🙂
