Nancy's mom, dead or alive?

The trailer didn't say it was SQ's voice. But did it sound like it? I've only played VEN once and it was years ago.

Who said SQ's voice was Nancy's mother's voice?

Check out the trailer for ND #29

I guess dead, I mean it would be cool if they could all be a family together again but still Nancy would be heart broken that her mother lied and so would her dad.

But they said Samantha Quick's voice was her mother's voice, and she called Nancy in VEN then she would have to be alive unless someone is using her voice........ or it could all be a lie or a trap to lure Nancy somewhere?????

I think she is dead and Nancy is going to investigate how she really died.

Right. It would be very, very strange for the Drew family to suddenly find out that Nancy's Mom is actually alive.

The voice says everything you know about the accident is a lie.
So maybe it wasn't an accident at all...............

What if her mum was murdered

I think all of us deep down believed that she was murdered, but you may be right, the voice did say "accident"...

I just don't see HeR violating cannon and having Nancy's mom actually be alive. She's dead, but there's are still a number of possibilities for a mystery. The phone call could have been a trap, or Nancy will find out that the circumstances of her mom's death were actually nothing like the story she and her father always believed.

Well, I think that the people that contacted Nancy in the preview are really enemy spies that want to apprehend Nancy as leverage to get Kate to do whatever the spies want her to do.

Great idea, never thought of that!

I really think that Nancy's mom should be alive; however, there should be a plot twist that causes Nancy to not be able to interact with her.

In my most recent thread on this board I had an idea that Nancy should help her mother "indirectly" by guiding her through a secret facility to obtain a high tech item.

Now I bet you're wondering, "Why would Nancy do such a thing?!"

But of course, Nancy wouldn't realize this until the very end of the game.

I don't know which I prefer. Dead mommy is always mysterious and unreachable. If Kate Drew is alive, and a spy, this alive mommy is also mysterious and, apparently, scarcely reachable. There doesn't have to be much difference, depending on what story is told and how it is told, and how willing we are to accept the story.....

Personally - dead. Sounds harsh, but she is just a character. And a character that has been considered dead for, oh, 75 years now. On a serious note, the plotline would not flow very well, to be honest, if she were alive. There would be too many questions that would have to be answered and I just do not think this game can be done in the time Her Interactive has to make it, if Nancy's mom is alive.

So, sorry, but I am hoping she is dead...

Ditto.

we all have been assuming that her mother was on the good side. What if Nancy finds out her mother was a thief or something?

Wow, that would be something! It would probably leave Nancy heartbroken, questioning everything, if she found out her mother was on the bad side. Especially since Nancy's love for investigating was partly, if not entirely a consequence of her mother's untimely death (it is said in TMB).

Dead....Or Alive

When I herd the trailer I didn't think she would be alive at all. But now they're theory's. I personally would rather have her mother dead because the story would make me so sad for what ever reason if Nancy mom was still alive and didn't tell Nancy it would be so sad! I don't think a mother could do that! But like what Drew Detective said that if Nancy's mom was mean and wanted nothing to do with Nancy it would also be heartbreaking! But the Nancy Drew games have been getting more mature so I think any three options are a possibility! However I would prefer Nancys mother dead. I feel like this game is going to be emotional!
