Nancy Drew is my favorite video game franchise of all time and Shadow at the Waters Edge is my favorite of all of them. Pretty much everything about this game is perfect, in my opinion. Japan is so fun to explore, it's one of the scariest in the whole series, and the story and characters are incredibly well written. Really the only negative is that the puzzles are pretty hard, but other than that it's amazing, I would recommend to anyone who likes mystery and/or horror, especially j-horror like The Ring.

(Played on Amateur) Lots of spooks for sure - I personally quite enjoyed it! Of course the accents are terrible, but the puzzles were DEFINITELY challenging. Fortunately the story flows well so it's not that hard to figure out what to do next. The NPC chatter was realistic -- but a lot of Nancy's questions weren't realistic. Nancy is oblivious and you ask *very* personal stuff no one should ask ... but this is a video game so ask away.
