Thank you for recognizing how much Her Interactive misrepresented New Zealand! It has such a rich history yet it seems like they simply forgot where the game was taking place. Great video as always :)

Whelp, I guessed those bottom two! When Malloy was announced, I remember people saying how much they wanted to see beautiful Irish countryside. Of course, the entire game took place at night. This list shows how often HER shoehorns English people into their mysteries. Happy Turkey day to you and your Mr.!

Love this! definitely agree with that number one ranking! I loved watching Gab Smolders playthroughs of Water's Edge, bc she's lived in Japan and was super impressed throughout the game with how well they did portraying japan!

In defense of Haunting of Castle Malloy… the Irish language was banned for decades in Ireland. There’s a movement to bring it back and it’s growing strong, but back when the game was being developed there wasn’t as much awareness of the movement here in the states. In criticism of the game, why weren’t there more Irish characters?! 😤

I was played Shadow at Water's Edge before and after visiting Japan. when I had already been to Japan and was very happy to relive aspects of the culture, including the tea ceremony, and I already knew some of the language so the computer puzzles with the hiragana characters were really easy for me. I didn't get to go to a Ryokan which I was sad about but oh yeah love that game.

I think this may be my favourite ever ranking! Please can we get a ranking on how each American game represents its state (if you haven't already done this)? SPY also get the names of Scottish food incorrect! Dreadful representation of beautiful Scotland! I think I'd swap Labyrinth with Malloy, just because of the character profiles and I feel there is more of Greece in the Greek game, than Ireland in the Irish game, although Castle Malloy is based on the real Rock of Cashel. I also kept on waiting for Captive Curse to come up and was like OMG! I then thought about it and understood how many different cultural elements (even board games!) are shown. However, I do think being stuck in a castle really lets it down (like Blackmoor or Malloy) so would definitely rate Danger by design and Sea of Darkness above it.

games like shadow at rhe waters edge phantom of venice danger by design and curse of blackmoor manor did an amazing job at incorporating cultural elements in settings and puzzles. Games like the shattered medallion ransom of the seven ships haunting of castle malloy captive curse Did a generic job at showcasing the cultures and didnt do much to emphasis it.

a theory‼️ why MED is not very representative of New Zealand other than the characters 🤔 is cuz HER planned many parts of the game like puzzle & music & story before they had fans voted for which country mystery 30 would be at 😕 no matter which country got voted any work already done would be used 🐑

There was a contest, I forget what it was, but the winner could pick the location for game #30. You’re right that they probably had many elements of the game down already to fit into what the location would be
