Everything Wrong With Nancy Drew: White Wolf of Icicle Creek

- A video describing all the problems with the sixteenth Nancy Drew game.
The little Arglefumph logo animation, at the start of this video, was made by Serge Hanna.
Here's a full playlist of all my Everything Wrong With Nancy Drew videos:
• Everything Wrong With ...
This video contains footage from the Nancy Drew series, made by Her Interactive (www.herinteractive.com). All rights are owned by Her Interactive.
Yanni, the elite athlete, is perfectly happy to consume a diet consisting of mainly French toast, bacon, and quesadillas.
Arglefumph: *doesnt have theme music*
Also arglefumph: *makes first sin of the video about how the game doesn’t have theme music*
I thought that was cute, myself.
@@arglefumph how old is Freddie anyway?
also, this mystery game would have been cooler if this was about the Abominable Snowman instead of a White Wolf.
Isis...in a game with bombs. This hasn’t aged too well.
You made me realise that..
@@rengab137 True poor Isis She is Adorable for A Wolf especially in The Wij version in The Wii version there are collectables Pieces of Paper and if You collect Them all You will get an adorable Picture of Isis as A Wolf Pup
“Potato salad isn’t even a meal at the lodge” well not anymore
Ever notice just how much Freddie eats? She almost always eats way more than any other adult in the lodge
she's outside in subzero temperatures all the time, she needs all that food to keep warm lol
6:33 - I didn't realize it until now, but naming Yanni's home country "Fredonia" is definitely an intentional reference to _Duck Soup_ and not just an instance of the name being the same by chance. Yanni's hometown is "Eladsaet," which is "Teasdale" spelled backwards. Margaret Dumont's character in _Duck Soup_ is Mrs. Teasdale.
I was really surprized to hear it because in Russian version of the game Yanni's country is Romania and the town is Braila
It's always nice to learn game developers have hobbies too. Thank you for pointing this out. I will get extra joy out of subsequent replays. :)
#62 - I think they didn't go into detail about what happened because they didn't want to spoil anything for people who haven't yet played Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. I think that's pretty cool and considerate, so I wouldn't consider it a sin. But then there are those Easter egg phone calls with spoilers for the other games, so....that's definitely a sin. hehe
Can we talk about how Freddie throws the ice ball through Lou's window........ thinking it was yanni's because she doesn't like him😂😂
Also, one thing that I've seen the CinemaSins people do is create "CinemaWins" videos where they say everything good about certain movies, and I thought that if you want, you could take some of your favorite games from this series and create videos like that for them. Just a suggestion.
Love this idea!
CinemaWins is not from the same people as CinemaSins, just FYI, but that might be fun too.
"Why can't she just put the token into place when Bill isn't around?" FOR REAL. And how is Isis so freakin' strong?!?!
30. I don't think that they're saying the wolf directly caused the accidents, I'm pretty sure they're saying that it brings bad luck, like a curse. Also, 14. The maid chores don't even take that long to do, so it's not that big of a deal. It also gives her free, unquestioned access to everyone's rooms, and it gives her a cover as well. The cooking is just thrown in there, and it only interferes with her investigation, so that's why she's upset about it.
8:04 So in other words, you could reach the end of the game, and have no clue who Yanni is due to not speaking to him?
Well that makes the villain reveal oddly anticlimactic
WolfyGrace Given what he learn about him at the end of the game you would think we would HAVE to talk to him!
You actually don’t the game doesn’t make you talk to him. Especially if you know the answer to a certain puzzle.
Not quite. You'd have to have seen him when you went down to speak to Ollie. And you'd know who he was from Tino's puzzle.
@@GraemeCree It's an interesting observation. I always talk to everyone, every time I see them, so this doesn't usually happen to me, but I did miss Guadalupe the first two times I played this game. It's weird to think that I could have missed Yanni if I was a little more rushed.
The story of Mcquade and Isis makes me so sad. Like poor Isis, thinking that she's been abandoned. :(
Every time I play it, it makes me so sad to think about poor Isis :(
@@krystynscrbic True and for A Wolf Isis is Adorable
Merry Christmas you dirt-digging, dinosaur bone-stealing, Harry Potter wanna be. (Love that part)
If Lupe is a birdwatcher, shouldn't she know birds fly south for the winter? Maybe she should try a warmer vacation spot.
Merry Christmas! Also, I know a lot of people really hated cooking, but this game is still one of my favorites.
The biggest sin is everyone in the Lodge blames the wolf for things that a person did
I think Nancy says that about Bill because he's competitive about ice skating, ice fishing, and fox & geese, as if he was at war.
Additional sin: the game will say you crashed into something during the snowmobile challenge, even if there’s at least a cm of space between the thing and the snowmobile on the screen.
Merry Christmas, Arglefumph! Thanks for the funny, clean videos!
Wait you can actually beat the game without talking to yanni or Lupe?
I never met her when i first played the game
Yes, and she will never get out of the lodge. And you will be the cook for the entire game.
As for Yanni, you needn't hear his sentimental story about the granny in that case.
I like to call "Tino" "Tino Baldouchei"
This game is perhaps the longest Nancy Drew game in the series and I like that it is different in that way. I can understand why other people wouldn't like it because of that, but that shouldn't be a fault of the game. Fox & Geese has never bothered me, I figured out the strategy you use in one of your walkthroughs pretty early on myself so I always use that when I play the game. This is one of my favorite ND games (mostly due to the atmosphere and music) and I'm sad that the mainstream was exposed to the Nancy Drew series in a poor way through the bad Wii port with GameGrumps. This game deserves more of a chance.
The strategy doesn't work for me, wonder if they patched it...
@@ur_friendlyneighborhoodcommie I haven't watched Arglefumph's walkthrough of the Wii version in awhile, but the strategy could be different in that version. I know this is one of the games that didn't get many (PC version) print runs/put into double pack copies however, so that's interesting
Having worked as a hotel maid, I can say that this game was a refreshing break. :)
One thing you missed is that in Nancy's first phone call with Tino he answers the phone and greets Nancy without knowing who it is that is calling. She is using the lodge's phone to make the call so it's not "her number" that would show up like Tino says and from what we know Chantel never told Tino she was also consulting Nancy. She only told Nancy that Tino was being consulted.
Don’t forget about the hospital nurse who clearly violated HIPAA talking about the dead guy from the shack. 🤦♀️
I've never owned the computer version of this game. I've only played the Wii version. So when I saw the cooking, my immediate thought was "I am SO GLAD I did not have to go through that."
Although it almost would have been easier... I can never manage to find a consistent way to shake the powdered sugar onto the French Toast.
What a lovely Christmas surprise! Thank you for making these videos, Michael! My sister and I both really enjoy them! Please keep them coming!
Merry Christmas this was wonderful to watch
Merry Christmas Michael! Hope you have a great Christmas. :)
Wow, never noticed #145 before, can't believe they did that.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the upload!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
If you give paprika to Bill Kessler again, after being told he hates paprika, nothing is said about it. Probably that should have been a game over sequence, where Bill leaves the lodge, and Nancy gets fired for it.
@@MSEL2679 That's true, it was Lou.
WHY are you only able to use the snowmobile the one time before the end game? I don’t get NEARLY enough practice in not-crashing-into-things before being sent on the minutes-long chase sequence
👏👏👏👏👏. Love the intro lol 😂
2. Obviously Nancy never played a Carmen Sandiego game in her life
7. she was probably busy
11. yeah but this way she could access the guest rooms easily
one that was missed: phone reused from previous game (scarlet Hand)
67. Maybe they stopped carrying it after the poisoning?
Merry Christmas Michael! Thank you for the Nancy sins video ^^
Love how funny u are , you never disappoint with these videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i found out you can actually skip the sauna puzzle
Do you remember how? I figured you have to because it gives you a reason to talk to Bill.
A few more things that I thought of:
•Ollie ends most of his conversations with “if you need anything, just holler”, but acts annoyed every time you approach him.
•Ollie was originally under the impression that he couldn’t tell Nancy about the accidents at the lodge because Chantal told him not to talk about it. If he knew that Nancy was there to investigate the reason behind these accidents, why would he assume this?
•Lou’s whole storyline of digging up bones is interesting but ends up being kind of irrelevant.
Lou looks far closer to Link from GMM than Harry Potter.
I went the whole game without knowing a bullet fell out of lupe's pocket. Also, finding picture pieces and putting it together... I missed out on that part too.
Also, why can you look up at the animal heads with green glowy eyes, what purpose does that serve? And why are their eyes glowy? Also you can skip serving meals by sleeping.
@@ur_friendlyneighborhoodcommie The glowing green eyes on the ram head in the lodge is supposed to allude to radioactive material being near Icicle Creek lodge. Since you see the ram head so early in the game it's easy to forget about it, but later in the game when you talk to the geologist on the phone about molybdenum and her geophones, and also the raccoon token on the second floor, the radioactive thing becomes important to the story again. ^^The puzzle where you put pieces of the photo together is only in the Wii version of the game.
@@super256colors2 True and it will show an Adorable Picture of Isis as A Wolf Pup
Merry Christmas Michael
If you need anymore proof that Lou is a Hogwarts wannabe, he is literally wearing a Ravenclaw cardigan! I own one of these but I am not a terrible person.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas.
Hello, i know this is an older video but i cant stress enough, its late here and i was listening at a medium volume when suddenly i was met with a massive increase in volume. It was a very unpleasant surprise.
Please adjust the volume to an even level before posting, thats the only issue i have ever had with this series.
I enjoy your content as i find it agreeable and entertaining and have only ever found an issue in volume with other videos you've posted too.
I hope when you cover Salem , that this doesn't happen, i also hope you get a chance to see this comment. Its rare i meet other fans this into ND.
This was my least favourite nancy drew game because the puzzles are too hard and You have to follow things exactly or else you will get stuck forever and not move forward in the game
I didn't even get to decipher the message in the book because I was on senior mode...
I have to turn off my sound for the shoveling puzzle
Omg SAME😂
@@SamiCrush The same with The Alarm Noise in Stay Tuned for Danger at Dwayne Power's Office when You ring One of The People Speakers
I'd stopped playing these games for a short time until I saw this one in the store and had to play again! I love wolves, and this one sounded so intriguing! The ending was blah though. :O And OMG that fox and geese game! I had to download a saved game file that had it completed in order to get past that part!
Wait, Elsa's notes? I guess this is another of the queen of Arendelle's hideouts during her isolation. :D
My favourite game!
Still my favorite videos on RUclips
What part of the game can you find the bullet on the floor. Never realized it till this video
This is kind of a late response, but it sometimes happens if you talk to Lupe a second or third time. Try asking her about the "Birds of the Southwest" page in the ice fishing shack after you see it's wrecked.
Which do you prefer?
The Chemicals Puzzle from Haunting of Castle Malloy or Fox and Geese from White Wolf of Icicle Creek?
Blue W Fox and Geese. It's quicker and can be beaten every time without fail. The chemicals are a sensitive pain in the ass.
Fox and Geese for sure
@@CosmicBertie preach
@@CosmicBertie Both are A Pain in The Ass
@@CosmicBertie The Chemicals Puzzle is so ridiculously that even moving The Control Arm 1 inch is enough to cause A Chemical Explosion
Can someone tell me how in the game you figure out Freddie broke Lou's window? Or is that just something you should have guessed on your own?
Sometimes if you head down to the basement like early morning or late at night when Ollie isn’t at his workshop, you might see a piece of paper with sentences written by Freddie that says “I will not throw iceballs at windows” over and over. Ask Ollie about it
Concerning Sin 17:
ISN’T she getting paid, though, at least for her detective work? I would sorely hope so-that she isn’t just offering her free services to anyone who contracts her, which is of course a terrible way to run a business. Even if she’s doing it as a hobby, seems a bit tactless yo almost die a million times a game for free. I get why payment might not be necessary in some cases, like when she accidentally stumbles upon a mystery that no one asked her to solve, but as a detective wouldn’t you charge a fee for your work? Chantal called Nancy to come find out what was happening, making this an official CASE case...so unless Nancy is the stupidest person alive/unconcerned with moving out of her dad’s house anytime soon, she’s getting paid for solving this mystery anyways. The maid and cook bit might just be added to her fee.
I don't know that the law is in Canada, but in the U.S. it is illegal, in most states anyway, to get paid for doing private detective work without a PI license. This is why Nancy calls herself an amateur detective and why she doesn't receive payment.
Why she doesn't get a PI license and start charging for her services is a good question, though. I know her father is wealthy but, like you said, she probably isn't going to be living at her dad's forever...
Tino's Questions for His Survey have nothing to do with finding Who The Criminal is
Tino wants you to just observe the guests to answer his questions? How are you supposed to get their favorite planet? XD the other questions I get, but planet? XD
Merry Christmas to me!
Hahaha lovely series as always!
I could never make it past the fox and geese puzzle, I'm glad it got a lot of sins. The fact that it is solvable is kinda laughable tbh
Merry late Christmas!!!!
Merryxmas! Been waiting on this
Tino Balducci's Holistic Detective Agency
What bugs me the most is Bill's stereotypical accent and he's from Toronto. Nobody from Toronto talks like that!
Cool intro!!
also Merry Christmas!!!
How does Isis remember all of those commands? 😂😂😂
That puzzle just about stopped me in my tracks.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I don't like the fact that when you click the save button or the load button the game doesn't pause, the time on the game keeps going. Ollie is also frozen in place at one point when he's driving in the beginning scene; and the steering wheel looks unattached to the truck as it stays in place when the truck pounces on the road.
119. I think Tino uses the same phone line for his fax machine, which is why he needs to turn it on first.
Anyone else notice starting in this game if Nancy has to enter a phone number, you can use your keyboard instead of mouse (I tend to use my number pad)
"What in BLAZES happened?" reused from game 7.
67 maybe they took it off the menu and replaced it
13:53 It says it takes ten minutes to get from the lodge to the shack via the mines. How do you do that?
*looks right*
*looks left*
So I fired again
I forgot about Yanni. And then he did the thing. Go figure
How is it that, after watching this several times, I never noticed that opening?
If you want to skip doing the cooking chore just sleep through it and Chantal won’t call and fire you, you can get through the whole game without cooking 😜
How? If you miss the meal and want to leave the lodge you are to be teleported to the phone and made to do other meal
@@katepandemika it’s been years but if I remember right you have to sleep through the entire cooking period, for example you have to cook lunch any time between 12-1 you have to go to sleep at 11:59 at the latest and wake up at 1:01 at the earliest, if you wake up at 1 it transports you to the phone.
LOL audio says window closed captioning says mirror
145. Woah, wait what is this??? I seriously think my game is broken. There are so many things I’ve never been able to do... (also, my current playthrough glitched on the coin-puzzle, so I’ll probably have to restart, despite being almost done :’( )
MitsukotheDarkAngel that phone call is part of the Easter egg in the game
Caroline Seegmiller oh, thank you!
1:18 no it zoomed in because the computer got bigger
Reviews more books
Is it my imagination or is Friday voice by Lonny Mānoa
#50 THOUGH!
#30 😂😂😂😂
Isis is so Cute
LOL the bombs in the lake and no one cares
Lupe hates me (because I am a man) 😂😂😂
You always say "this puzzle" in every video of yours, do you even like the game?
I think it's more of a running gag, but it's justified here. A lot of puzzles in this game are tedious.
nancy got close to Ollie so he can wink at him; not Ollie close to nancy.
sorry I meant to say 'her' instead of 'him'.
Lmao, Nancy must be desperate lol
Michael, when you say "Freddie's voice."(and other things in that way), are you saying there's something wrong with it or that you hate it?
This guy takes issue with far too many puzzles.
1:06- does Ollie's left hand looks bigger then it should be in this scene?
It is sort of ironic the wolf's name is Isis and he is associated with explosions
Michael said that he didn't see any door nob on the high way but no one will because we only see the highway before the bunkhouse blew up and not after.
why does Nancy have to tell Chantal what happened? maybe she doesn't want to get involved with what goes on between Chantal and Tino.
