'Whydon't you chase after him?' Becky asked.
'BecauseBecky, if I run, I sweat and I don't want to! Let's find themagician woman first!' Barbie said and she knocked on the door. Noone answered. Her back door was also waving in the wind, it was justopened.
'Hello?HELLO? Anybody in there? Come on out! I know you're there!'Barbie yelled.
'Youairheaded moron! That figure in black clothes must be the magician! Ican't believe you didn't figure that out the second she didn'tanswer!' Becky yelled, angrily.
'Oh,silly Becky. She might be out getting coffee! Just because it lookslike she has 4 black trenchcoat/shirt/pants/hat combos doesn't makeher the villain! Good luck chuck full movie download 720p full. How many normal people have that ensemble? It'svery pretty! You know I got half of an Associate's degree inFashion Design!' Barbie said for her cockamamie excuse.
'Youidiot! I'm going to the carousel to unmask her. You get on becauseyou're not in a wheelchair but you should be because you areobviously mentally retarded!' Becky ordered. Barbie walked to thecarousel and got on the horse. The figure got on the horse that was 3ahead of her. Becky was circling the carousel in her wheelchair.
'YOUMORON! Get off the freakin' horse and catch that person!' Beckyscreamed.
'Becky,what if I fell off and cracked my head open? Nope, I'll wait tillthe ride stops, let this mystery person walk a second and I'lldetermine where he/she's going.'

'What'sgoing on in here? Have you hired the federal detecti…' BillClinton stopped. 'Well, how would you like to be First Lady for aday?'
Beckysulked by the concession stand while Barbie flounced over there.Barbie had a magnifying glass in hand.
'Thismust be an old invention invented for the circus.'
'Youidiot! It's a magnifying glass and they gave you it before you gothere!' Becky scoffed.
'YesBecky, this does magnify my beauty! Is Idiot a French word? Is it aperfume?' Barbie asked. Becky covered her face in embarrassment.
'HEY!There's a shed! Let's see if anyone's home!' Barbie said,knocking on the shed. A man in a straw hat and overalls answered thatlooked like he only had a 3rd grade education.
'Hi,I'm Barbie Richards, I'm investigating stuff here. Have you seenanything suspicious?' she asked.
'I'mArty the Handyman, Wanda McMillon wanted all the money from thecharity drive. But Bert was giving it to underprivileged children inSenegal! She said she would lock Ken Berkley, the Senagalianmissionary in the box, then hide it!' Arty said.
'Interesting…I bet it was that Bert Franklin!' Barbie said.
'Nope',Arty said.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING HE JUST SAID? YOU AIRHEADED MORON!' Beckyscreeched.
'Yep',Arty said.
'Airheadsand Mormons? I like Airheads, especially the red kind. Mormons scareme, aren't they the ones with the multiple gods with all the arms?'
'That'sHINDU and it's nothing alike!'
'Yep',Arty concurred.
'Becky,do you think it's appropriate to talk about this? I'm trying tosolve a mystery here!' Barbie said, irritated.
'HeyBarbie, the 'mystery person' is walking to the slide! Why don'tyou follow him?' Becky asked.
'Goodidea Becky! Thanks for your help!'
'Yep',Arty said.
'Hick…',Becky muttered.
Barbieand Becky got to the slide and Barbie waited until the mystery persongot in the elevator.
'Whydid you wait for her to get in the elevator? You could haveapprehended her and saved time!' Becky yelled.
'Ihave no idea.' The elevator returned, Barbie and Becky got in. Whenthe villain went down, Barbie followed.
'WILLYOU JUMP ON HER ALREADY?' Becky screamed.
'Whatif I get rugburn or whiplash? Or worse, I break a nail?' Barbieasked, 'If I just stay behind him, Bert Franklin, I'll catchhim!' Barbie said.
'I'MNOT BERT FRANKLIN! I'M WANDA MCMILLON, THE MAGICIAN! I DON'T EVENLOOK LIKE HIM!' Wanda yelled.
'Nicetry Bert Franklin!'
'FORGOD'S SAKE! THIS IS TOO EMBARASSING, I'M RIDING DOWN THIS SLIDEON THE WHEELCHAIR!' Becky yelled. She wheeled down the slide. Shewas cruising fast.
'BECKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!' Barbieyelled. She took the wrong way down the slide and separated from thevillain.
'BECKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!' Barbieyelled. She took the wrong way down the slide and separated from thevillain.
'BETTERWATCH OUT, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S BECKY!' Becky said, her irisand pupils metaphorically bouncing all about her eyeballs. Thevillain took out a wand and disappeared.
'AAAAAAAAAAAGH!'Becky screamed. Becky couldn't turn the wheelchair and crashed offthe slide and careened into the pavement from 50 feet above. Thewheelchair exploded into a million pieces. Barbie walked over withthe magnifying glass on her eye which enlarged it about 50x.
'YouIDIOT! MORON! SIMPLETON! AIRHEAD! SELFISH! OBLIVIOUS! CRAZYPERSON! IFYOU JUST JUMPED ON THE VILLAIN AND DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR STUPIDNAILS WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER! NOW I'M COMPLETELY PARALYZED FROMTHE HEAD DOWN! GOD, I HATE YOU!' Becky yelled, obviously on atirade.
'Look,Bert Franklin dropped a key and a security tape!' Barbie observedand picked it up.
'…',Becky stared in awe that she didn't hear her ream her or that shedidn't care that she was paralyzed from the lower abdomen down,considering she could move her arms.
'I'll get you awheelchair in a second but lets go to the security center!' Barbiesaid, abandoning Becky. She walked in to find Bert Franklin's son,William Franklin.
'I'll get you awheelchair in a second but lets go to the security center!' Barbiesaid, abandoning Becky. She walked in to find Bert Franklin's son,William Franklin.
'Hi,I'm William Franklin, my father runs the carnival.' He said.
'Helocked Ken in a box!' Barbie said.
'Nohe didn't!' That did it. Barbie's fixation on Bert Franklincaused her to go into an ape rage. She threw his son into a wall andstarted hitting him with a clipboard. Barbie crossed the line intototal and utter insanity. Spit was dribbling from her mouth, hertongue was sagging, her eyes bulging, laughing like a maniac. Shebeat him then whacked him with a broom a few times. She locked him upin a cabinet.
'KEN!AAAAAAAAAAAAGH! I LOVE COOKIES! DO YOU HAVE ANYCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKIES?' she said, psychotically.
'Ihave some licorice in the bottom drawer…' Franklin saidnervously.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!THIS IS BLACK LICORICE!' Barbie yelled. She tipped the cabinet overand hit it a few times with a shovel. Barbie then put the securitytape in to see Ken being locked up below Wanda's stage.
'Ohmy God! Spore crack download. Ken's being locked up in BERT FRANKLIN'S OFFICE!'Barbie screeched.
'NOHE ISN'T!' Becky yelled who just crawled in from waiting so long.'THAT'S UNDER WANDA'S STAGE!'
'Comealong Becky, I got me a wheelchair! And I may have made BertFranklin's son brain damaged!' Barbie said, but primal insanityovertook her again. Becky wheeled out when she saw it in her eyes.Barbie went crazy, totally destroying the office. She ran out,breaking down the door and running around the carnival, like an ape,laughing hysterically.
'Well,that's the last I see of her before Animal Control gets a hold ofher…' Becky mumbled. She went in the case Ken was put into and ittook her down to the basement. But she didn't have a key. She hadto wait until Barbie would return to her normal level of sanity andwander in here.
Meanwhile…
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!'Barbie yelled. She was still running around like an escaped mentalpatient, she ripped down the sign with Bert Franklin. She then,removed a lamppost, summoned some apelike strength and startedswinging it around when she destroyed the gift shop. She arrived atWanda's stage and broke the case that leads to her magic trick. Shestarted breaking everything but Becky snatched the lamppost from herand smacked her with it. Wheeling over, she snatched the key. Shewheeled over to open the case. It opened with Ken inside.
'Becky?'Ken asked.
'Ken!Oh my God… what's that smell? You wet yourself and it smells likeyou did it numerous times! Even pooped yourself! Great job Mr.Poopypants! And how could you breathe, there are no holes in thisbox!' Becky yelled. Barbie awoke minutes later. They all went towhere all the rides were and the villain boarded the Tunnel of Love.
'Let'sgo!' Becky said. All three of them got into a swan boat.
'Theswan is a motorboat! Floor it, Barbie!' Becky commanded. But, ofcourse, Barbie didn't. She went very slow and couldn't catch upwith the jerk.
'GOFASTER! Ugh… Move over!' Becky yelled. Barbie surrendered thesteering wheel and Becky took the helm with a little bit of Ken'shelp.
'KEN!Put those encyclopedias conveniently placed in this boat on my foot!'Becky ordered. Ken placed them on her feet and the speedboat wentvery fast, Becky was a pretty good driver for a handicapped person.
Finally,Becky got her much sought-after revenge on Barbie, when they wentover the ramps; Barbie hit her head on the metal bar and fell intothe water.
'BECKY!Come back! I can't swim!' Barbie yelled, arms flailing.
'It'sthree feet of water you airhead!' Becky called back. Beckynavigated the swan so when she jumped over the ramp she would crashinto the other drivers. When she did, the swan's neck flew throughthe air and hit the dazed Barbie on the head while she walked there.
'Let'ssee who you really are!' Barbie said. She pulled off the maskrevealing… Wanda McMillon.
'WandaMcMillon? I never knew… I never would have guessed!' Barbie saidsurprised.
'I'vetold you that after we were here for five minutes.' Becky sneered.She got out in the wheelchair. Bert Franklin had reporters crowdingaround the entrance next to the duck pond.
'SoBarbie, how did you catch the criminal?' the reporter asked.
'Well,actually…' Becky started. Barbie then pushed Becky's wheelchairinto the duck pond where she almost drowned.
'Wehad a little help from someone', Barbie said, staring at Arty andhis pet.
'Doyou mean the rabbit?' Becky asked as she lost her oxygen supply.'After all of this… I'm kind of glad I'm paralyzed.'
'Lookslike the only magic you'll be doing is for charity when you returnthe money and go to jail, you scumbag!' Ken said.
'OhKen!' everyone said and laughed while Becky was drowning.

There are a variety of games I was considering critiquing for this post, from Shadow of the Colossus, Mario Sunshine and Legend of Zelda Wind Waker but upon reflection I think the game that has really stuck with me is Detective Barbie: Mystery of the Carnival Caper.
Despite any preconceived notions one might have about a game staring a sugary sweet, superficial, plastic, commercial, action figure doll—Detective Barbie: Mystery of the Carnival Caper is a dark game. The premise of this game—similarly in Gone Home— is that Barbie, our main character, has just completed her time abroad at the Detective Academy. When she returns home, there is a carnival in town which her boyfriend, the illustrious, built and mildly dimwitted Ken is financially in charge of. At the carnival, Ken and the money raised for charity, disappear as a result of a magician’s act. This forces Barbie to search for her missing boyfriend, the money and the person responsible for their disappearance.

Unlike a majority of games “geared towards young girls” at the time, this was a game where the player (and main female character), has real agency.
I think one of the strongest elements of this game is it’s characterization of Barbie and its ability to build tension through the music and the slow pacing of gameplay. Never in this game do you dress up Barbie, or clean or cook as other games would have you do. Instead, you are constantly going from scene to scene, gathering clues, interviewing suspects and chasing (really the chase scenes were incredibly riveting in this game) the villain as you the go from area to area searching for clues from the disappearance using your handy magnifying glass piece together the mystery of the shadowy man responsible for Ken’s disappearance.

The unsightly characters, the haunting music and the eerie handprints and footprints that appear through the scenes really work to build the dark tone and atmosphere.
As a child, this game really struck a sense of horror in me, and now, whenever I hear the haunting music of a carnival, my blood turns to ice.
