This game is one of the best Nancy Drew games I have played. It has mystery and thrill with beautiful graphics! The puzzles are wonderfully brain stimulating and full of fun twists and turns for the story line. Definitely check this game out!

Another solid entry into the Nancy Drew universe. Shadow at Waters Edge does a fairly good job at bringing the players into the Japanese culture with many puzzles and Easter eggs for those looking for more of a challenge. As far as gameplay mechanics go, this game was a far cry from earlier entries with many needed improvements being implemented here such as more fluid movement/navigation and a better managed inventory. However I believe the story was overshadowed by other games such as Treasure in Royal Tower. At the end of the day all that matters is, I knew it was that bowl cut having, coke bottle glasses wearing butt face Rentaro was behind it from the start. Never trust someone with that haircut.

I thought Curse of Blackmoor Manor was my favorite ND game, but of the 23 thus far I think this one takes the cake! I loved the puzzles, the plot, the characters, the mini game, the atmosphere, the JUMP SCARES! 10/10 would absolutely replay this one.

This is the first game I've played in the Nancy Drew series so far, and it really scratched an itch I didn't even realize i had. There were some puzzles that took a lot of lot of time, but it was a fun time from start to finish!
