I don’t know how I never played any of the Nancy Drew games as a kid, I love point and click and I love Nancy drew and I would have been all over them!! My sister and I are playing through them together now and it is just an absolute joy. (She is however much better at puzzles than me so idk maybe they would have frustrated me as a kid)
Also it’s giving me some inspo to ~actually~ practice drawing and backgrounds etc. so anyway here’s treasure in the royal tower WIPS. I really want to do some actual illustrations from these games.
Also Evelyn/gabsmolders streams are just prime content for background comfort noise when pain flares or fatigue keep me in bed.

it's a good thing you play as Nancy and not me because the number of times I would have tripped using that stair landing is off the goddamn charts

Treasure in the Royal Tower Tapestries
(some sourced more reliably than others)
17th c Aubusson Mythological Tapestry (possibly Venus and Adonis)
l'Histoire du Roi: the defeat of the Count of Marsin, ca. 1711-1715
Young cavalier executing the levade before Mercury and a gentleman, ca. 1666
The Great Yarmouth Cloth of Estate with Tudor Arms, ca. 1547-1594
Tapestry with the De Nagera family coat of arms, ca. 1550
left: 17th c. Louis XIV Armorial Tapestry with Marquis de Louvois' coat of arms (but make it dark, I guess)
right: Les Grandes Armes de l'Empire Français, ca. 1808-1811 (but make it dark, I guess)
left: tapestry recreation websites my unreliable and beloathed, but they seem to be my only option. pattern is described as a 'Napolen III style, 19th c. entre fenêtre' but I have not been able to find the original design
right: tapestry recreation websites my unreliable my beloathed my only option once again: I don't even have my original source link for this one because in addition to being unreliable, sites that sell handmade tapestry recreations also tend to be short lived. but hey, you can buy one on AliExpress for $3k. seriously though, I have no reliable information for this design.

I hate how at the end of TRT Nancy says “and to think I almost became friends with a diamond thief!” I’m sorry Nancy, you wanted to be friends with Lisa?

dude I’ve been walking around this place for hours and there are like fifty unoccupied guest rooms. if you don’t want to fix my radiator how about I just move to one of those instead of doing all of your chores for you

I love TRT because it’s such an early game yet it explores Nancy’s relationships with the characters in such an interesting way..
Dexter going from the mean old man to treating Nancy with the understanding and encouragement that his father never showed him. Lisa framing herself as “the bestie” to get what she wants. Jacques being presented as “the hottie”, but he and Nancy don’t get along at all. Hotchkiss being… Hotchkiss lol.
It’s a short game, but you go on such a journey of subverted expectations… TRT 5ver
