New Walkthroughs 2024

It is with great pleasure that I may introduce you to my new co-walkthrough writer. Her name is Marietje Spijker and we are married to each other for more than 35 years now. Marietje likes to play the so-called Escape the Room games such as Vereda, Alumni and Sotano, but also the Carol Reed games. Marietje has already done the Alumni walkthrough, which is now on the site. If you would like to thank Marietje, you must do so through me because I will not make Marietje's e-mail address public. We have had very bad experiences with that in the past

Nancy Drew 12:  The Secret of the Old Clock:

2005 / 2024: Original a Dutch Walkthrough by: Louis Koot

This English translation also done by: Louis Koot

The year is 1930. The place is Titusville. Nancy Drew, a modern teenager, drives up the driveway to the Lilac Inn in her beautiful blue Roadstar. Nancy wonders why Emily Crandall asked her to drive all the way to the Lilac Inn to visit her. Emily Crandall is a vague acquaintance of Nancy, whom she once met through Helen Corning, a mutual friend. Could the death of Emily's mother, almost a month ago, and the fact that Emily now has to run the Lilac Inn all on her own have something to do with this. After all, Emily is only 17 years old and won't be turning 18 for another 3 months. A guardian has been appointed to assist Emily in the 3 months that separate her from adulthood. Didn't Emily sound a little desperate when she called? Nancy is still completely unaware of the fact that Emily is not the only thing waiting for her at the end of the driveway. No...Nancy Drew will experience, for the first time in her young life, the excitement, suspense and thrill of intrigue, mystery and adventure in her very first case as an amateur detective.........

The Talos Principle 2    

The walkthrough is now at Part 17 West 2 Anthropic Hills

 This walkthrough is a work in progress by Dick and Louis. It will be massive so check it regulary for updates on it's progress

You can buy the game on Steam. To play it you must have a Steam account because you can't play it of-line

This is the sequel to The Talos Principle I and it's nine years later. You will come across several familiar objects here: the connector, the hexadrone, the jammer, the carrying platform. You will also find some new objects here, also some game  improvements. If a connector has connections and you want to keep these connections, click wit the right mouse button. You can then ad more connections if needed, select the connections with the left mouse button and then connect with the left mouse button.

A note about my Nancy Drew walkthroughs. The Nancy Drew walkthroughs are my English translations of my old Dutch Nancy Drew walkthroughs. Until 2007 I played Nancy Drew games 1 through 17. Then I stopped playing because it became too much of the same with those Nancy Drew games and they were not for sale here in the Netherlands. There was 1 Dutch seller who sold the Nancy Drew games, then still on CD / DVD, because he specially imported them for me from the U.S.A but that guy stopped in 2008. I no longer have the Nancy Drew games  so I can't replay them to check if these walkthroughs are still accurate

This 14th Nancy Drew adventure takes place entirely in Paris. On behalf of Amy Grunhild, a friend of Nancy's father, Nancy travels to Paris to work undercover in "The Old Windmill Studio". The Old Windmill Studio is a prestigious fashion studio, led by Minette. The studio is located in a renovated mill (Moulin) and is located in Abbesses/Montmartre, the artistic district of Paris, at the foot of the Sacre Cour. Minette, the studio's head fashion designer, has been in a bit of a rut lately. Minette is a young American fashion designer, but her star is rising quickly in the world of Haute Couture

But lately, something strange has been happening to Minette. She hides her face behind a white mask and suffers from tantrums. She also recently dismissed some long-time employees. Could Minette's strange behavior be related to the threatening letters that Minette has been receiving for some time? Amy Grunhild is Minette's main financial backer and Amy is very concerned about Minette's strange behavior. Minette is under great time pressure to complete her new spring collection on time, and Amy Grunhild naturally wants there to be no problem, because Amy wants to see the necessary return on her investments. But the troubles with Minette soon turn out not to be the only mystery Nancy faces. A greater, and more sinister, danger looms. A danger that hides in the dark catacombs of Paris. Catacombs that connect the renovated "the Old Mill Studio" with the more "dark" part of the City of Light.

The game begins with Nancy reading aloud a letter she wrote to her father. Nancy is currently "Between Cases" and therefore has nothing to do. Fortunately, her father's friend, Franklin Rose, got her the job of assistant curator at the Beech Hill museum in Washington DC. The museum is currently closed to the public as it is being prepared for an exhibition on Mayan Culture and the centerpiece of this exhibition will be an antique Monolith with a number of Glyphs on it.

The time keeps running in the game. This may mean that certain people you need to talk to will not be there at certain times. In Nancy's hotel room you can "advance" the time in the game via the alarm clock. You'll actually have to do this a few times in the game. In the walkthrough I cover Nancy's hotel room at the moment when it is really necessary to go there for the first time.

Nancy is visiting an old high school friend, Maya Nguyen. Maya, a student at the University of Washington, is a journalist for the university newspaper and as such holds a press pass. Maya is on her way to have an interview with Brady Armstrong for the newspaper. Brady Armstrong is the "Star" actor in the play "Vanishing Destiny". This play premieres tonight at the Palladin Theater here in St. Louis. The Palladin Theater was built in 1926 and renovated sometime in the 1950s. The current owners of the theater have sold the theater to a project developer who will have the theater razed to the ground in exactly 3 days to build something else in its place. There is a lot of opposition to the impending demolition of the beautiful old theater where, in the past, all the great magicians, such as The Great Houdini, once performed.

Nancy Drew 17: The Legend of the Crystal Skull

Done. 2007 / 2024: Walkthrough by Louis Koot 

In this Nancy Drew game you play as Nancy Drew but also as Bess Marvin

Nancy Drew and her friend Bess Marvin fly to New Orleans for a long weekend of music, sight-seeing and the culinary delights of French cuisine. It's not all fun, though, because Nancy is also planning to visit Henry Bolet. Henry Bolet is a friend of Ned. Henry's great uncle, Bruno Bolet, recently passed away, so Henry traveled to New Orleans to deal with the funeral, and the inheritance. Henry stays at his uncle's house, the Bolet House. So immediately after arriving in New Orleans, Nancy leaves her friend Bess at the hotel and heads for the Bolet House by taxi. Ned informed Henry of Nancy's arrival. The weather is bad and it will remain that way all weekend.

Played it with Windows 10 / Windows 11. Had a lot of problems with this game. Crashes, lock ups and certain things not happening that should have happened. Also, I couldn't take screenshots in-game with Gadwinn, Fraps, or MWSnap. Had to take the screenshots with the Window key + Printscreen key and later with my smart phone. The only good thing about this Reah game is the soundtrack because it is fantastic, if you like futuristic music
