Nancy Drew heads for Japan where she’s staying at a traditional ryokan (inn) for a little R&R with Bess and George, but when reports of a vengeful ghost start scaring away the guests, Nancy’s vacation takes a turn for terror! It’ll be up to you, as Nancy Drew, to uncover the secret that lies beneath the surface, before the ghost can take its revenge! Dare to Play Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge is a first-person perspective, point-and-click adventure game. The player is Nancy Drew and has to solve a mystery. Explore rich environments for clues, interrogate suspects, and solve puzzles and mini-games.
This is one of the longer, more difficult games (at least in my opinion). However, it is easily one of my favorites.
PROS: Great music, difficult puzzles, immersive atmosphere, and decent storyline/characters.
CONS: There are a lot of phone conversations (personal preference). Nancy is also extremely nosey and apathetic in the game.
Other than the stupid sudoku puzzles, I really like this one.
