I really enjoyed this game because I have actually traveled to Japan several times over the years. When I heard about this game I knew I had to buy it! The characters in the game were great, although I wish they added maybe two or three more because it was a little obvious who the culprit would be. The puzzles in this game were good with the exception of the writing one in the beginning of the game. Working on a laptop and doing the writing was difficult! If you did not get it perfect, forget it! I liked the music in this game two and it definitely has a few scares. I wish Her Interactive would do more travel ones such has one in Kenya, Botswana, Chile, Argentina, Russa, South Korea, China...just some future ideas....Also, forget the MID graphics...
By far the creepiest of all ND games! The puzzles are great, and the Japanese setting is beautiful. Lots to explore and learn. Overall a great mystery with an unexpected ending.
This game is by far one of the best ND games I've ever played! I love the whole environment of the game and the all the characters! There are so many fun puzzles/games to do! Some puzzles are time consuming and take way too long to solve... but, it expands game time unlike other ND games where you can solve the mystery in an hour. I highly suggest this game because it has the right amount of mystery, humor, excitement, and terror.
This is one of my top three favorite Nancy Drew games with the other two being Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake and The Haunted Carousel. Even though I was scared half to death at certain times, I still enjoy playing this game. My favorite part was definitely making bento because it was soooo much fun!
Life has taken me away from the things I enjoyed as a kid. I'm home for the summer and haven't had much to do, so I installed this game and played it all week! As a kid I honestly could never solve these games but, now I'm older and I can finally solve them lol. I'd be surprised if an eleven-year-old could play these games without help from the internet. Anyway, this game was thought provoking, creepy, and addictive. It makes you think creatively and critically. The ending was a little anticlimactic, but I'm too satisfied to let that affect the rating. I'm on to the next game! I still love Nancy Drew and hope more games are to come in the future!
This is my favorite ND so far and I enjoyed all the puzzles, especially the bento boxes. Also very scary, nearly jumped out of my seat!
My friend bough this game for me as a gift and this is by far the top in my favorite list in the Nancy Drew game series. Love the puzzles, love the graphics and the story line. This game is the reason why I was encourage to try out the other Nancy Drew games. It is a fun kind of scary and thank you Her Interactive for this awesome game.
This is the best game ever! Perfect for Halloween! Check out the Twitch streams from Little Jackalope and Tess on this game as well. Go Team Her Interactive!
I just beat this game and loved it no matter how scary it was. I played it with the lights off and a few times I fell out of my chair. It was worth falling out of my chair. No matter how many times I play it I still get scared. In other words, BUY THIS GAME!!!
This was the scariest ND I've ever done! Especially with one scene near the end. I literally ran out of the room when I saw it I was so scared!
Everything else is pretty. The mini-games are fun, but the puzzles take time, and are a bit boring.
Overall, scary but fun
Miwako takes the ryokan very seriously and helps out by running the front desk and virtually everything else. But as the youngest daughter, she, according to tradition, can’t inherit the inn. Is the ghost just a ploy she’s using to help subvert an ancestral custom?
As the first daughter, Yumi is the rightful heir to the ryokan. She’s chosen to forego this responsibility for a fast-paced city life, much to the disapproval of her family. Are the hauntings merely a scheme to close down the ryokan and prevent her from having to leave her urban lifestyle?
As a loveable goofball, Rentaro spends most of his time in his shed building or tinkering with the latest technology. That is, when he’s not doting on his girlfriend, Miwako. He dreams of moving with Miwako to the city. A few staged scares could help convince her, but would this quirky technophile destroy a family and their business in the name of love?
Having grown up and lived in the ryokan her whole life, Takae has seen many things happen there, including the accidental death of her daughter. Still, she insists on following tradition, even if it’s against both of her granddaughter’s wishes. As an expert on Japanese culture, is she using the Yurei legend to help get her way?
