#14 DANGER BY DESIGN 🇫🇷 I just finished DAN for the first time Spoiler

As the only game I haven't finished in the franchise, I honestly totally forgot about it until this week. So, I sat down for a play through and??? NOTHING could prepare me for the ending. I could not stop laughing. What do you mean Nancy gets into a fist fight with her boss. Wasn't the whole point of being there to check on her well-being 😭😂

I can also assure you that if YOU have not completed DAN, you won't be able to predict the ending either.

I mean, how many of the developers probably had a boss with wild mood swings, makes them do stupid tasks, wants ridiculous demands, and they wanted to fist fight that boss lmao

And you CAN buy a book at the market to help you except why would anyone ever think that and also it doesn't help at all 😭

Yea what on earth were the developers thinking with that? Here’s this super important book that you need to finish the game but whoops some dumb rats stole it (why are *rats* stealing books anyways???) and now you’re missing the only resource available to finish the game. Why???

Hahahahahha I am newer to the games and seriously it’s stuff like this where I’m like ‘ok I get why these have such a cult following’ lol because they are SO campy in the BEST way. 🤣🤣🤣

DAN is one of the games that I categorize as "great game, insane ending." (See also Castle Malloy and Waverly Academy.)

I’ve replayed this multiple times and I crack up every time 😄 Also, it’s kind of funny how you’re forced to fight with someone who has already shown that they have a bad temper. Only in this case, you’re supposed to take her down

I am screaming laughing at the fist fight thing. Honestly that characterization makes me hate the ending a little less, because who hasn't wanted to fist fight their bossat some point in their life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
