xix. the haunting of castle malloy - fiona’s nursery
a dark aesthetic for every game: haunting of castle malloy
Kyler says in HAU she remember’s Nancy’s penchant for solving mysteries. What if she got dragged on some mystery with Nancy when she stayed with her. And that’s why she felt so bonded to Nancy enough to make her the maid of honor?

Day 154 of playing HAU for the first time
i still can’t match up those damn otters on the box in the nursery. My will to live is dwindling. Please, someone end my suffering.
Someone tell me where the jetpack straps are supposed to be
This reminds me of those “Enlightened” Meme images you see.
like straight up HAU has the most cracky plot of any ND game because how do you get from
Nancy is looking for a runaway groom and is printing wedding programs
to
Nancy finds a jet pack from the 40s, is giving sheep absurd haircuts, and launches a freaking rocket
So Story time!
After playing Haunted Carousel little 13-14 year old me became fascinated with Carousels and Carousel horses. And I wanted to know more.
It never occurred to me the books Her put in the games are all made up, so I waddles into Barnes and Noble and asked for a copy of (I’m not kidding) “All About Carousels” by Melvin A. Schwartz.
Of course they didn’t have it...
But! The nice lady at the counter did say they had one book in the Art and Hobby section on Carousels. And so I came home with this book instead,
And it has been with me ever since.
For those interested it tells you the history of carousels, and many famous carousel artists! And of course the pictures are amazing. I’ve come to find the Illinois Horses are my favorites,
Also inside it little Drew Kid me was happy to find this small little tidbit,
Bottom right look a little familiar?
I read this old book cover to cover and over 10 years later I still have it and look back in it quite often. If anyone is interested in Carousel history, craftsmanship and of course photography I highly recommend it. Because of Haunted Carousel I now have the most random knowledge tucked away on carousels which I am always proud of 😋.
Here are some of my favorites! Story over, Stay Sleuthy y’all.
wickford castle is offended, nan
To be fair it was bits and pieces of multiple castles Wickford Frakensteined together. So it was a castle just not an “honest-to-goodness” castle I guess. 🤣
