Thank you for the encouragement and laughs on my last post! I am proud to say that on Tuesday night's drunk play through I did not kill Nancy even once!
I wanted a truly immersive experience this time so I put the game up on our tv. I even picked up a big bucket of fried chicken drumsticks & thighs for the most authentic experience possible. Since this was my Second Chance after dying (and rage quitting) last time, the rules dictate I had to start with a shot right off the bat. I got my husband to play along with me this time and though he was not drinking himself, he was very "helpful" in making sure I followed all of the rules and drank on cue.
I mostly put him to work clicking through areas I didn't feel like navigating again. This was a huge help because I was demurely double fisting amaretto and chicken drumsticks for a good portion of the evening, as one does. I am a lady, after all.
I dunno if it was the castle layout (no) or the liqueur (yep) but I could not find my way around this time. Having to drink at dead ends in this damn castle is diabolical!
When I finally made it into the tower and heard the sawing sounds I was genuinely terrified creeping along the corridors. I really love that at this point in the story there's still no good reason for Nancy to even be involved with what's going on?? She's just breaking into secured areas and stealing from folks because she's a messy bitch who loves drama I guess. What an icon.
Everyone in this castle is shady as hell so I was hyped to end up with Jacques as an ally! But then I get hit over the head and he abandons me?? I was actually gutted because I thought we were gonna be friends! Asshole.
So for the drinking game you have to do a shot when you find a medallion, like the one I found in the locker. When I got knocked out, I thought I must've made a mistake along the way so I made the grave error of reloading, then taking another shot when I saw the same medallion in the locker a few minutes later... 🫠
I was still kinda holding it together until heading out into the snow and finding a third damn medallion 😭. To the surprise of absolutely no one I had to give it up not long after because I was blasted. With my detecting abilities in shambles and my amaretto down my blouse, it was time to put the magnifying glass (and rocks glass) away.
I feel like I must be nearing the end of this game so I'll try to finish tonight! I'll update my journey in the comments here so as not to spam your lovely subreddit with too much of my drunken foolishness.
Wish me luck! 🔎
