The centuries-old culture that Japan is rich in, along with modern technology, has given fans of the game a new, vibrant walkthrough of Nancy Drew. Like any employee, every detective sometimes wants to relax. However, our heroine, alas, was not lucky enough to do this, because even on vacation, the detective’s abilities are not asleep. Especially when it is so confusing that it actually challenges Nancy Drew. Will she be able to solve the mysteries of a country where from an early age they study the history of their ancestors, because her ignorance negatively affects dignity? Is it possible for her to unravel the matter in Japan - a place where high-rise buildings built according to the latest achievements of modern architecture are combined with unspoiled natural landscapes? They say that a detective can solve any puzzle. Let's try to figure out whether this statement is true.
So, the passage of "Nancy Drew: the shadow of the water" begins with the fact that our detective goes to rest. She decides to change the situation, and Japan in all its glory has become an ideal place for this. However, the concept of rest and the terrible curse of dark waters are incompatible, and she will again have to apply her skills. Local residents are sure that “Hiei” is a terrible place, they try to bypass it themselves and advise everyone to do it. But the young detective does not at all consider the hotel terrible. She knows that with the help of reason and logic one can give an explanation for any event, no matter how mystical it may be. Of course, the passage of "Nancy Drew" is impossible if you do not take part in this. However, players do not need to impose this, because they are happy to immerse themselves in a new whirlpool of adventure.
In fact, the passage of “Nancy Drew” is a completely familiar procedure, since there are no compositional changes in the game. Despite this, the previous 22 parts were different in terms of plot, and the adventure in question is no exception. In the game it is necessary to solve puzzles, tasks, inspect the terrain, determine the circle of suspects and gradually reduce it to a single being. Those who are familiar with the previous parts will quickly understand the gameplay: it is still archaic. A mobile phone and long dialogs will again be your constant companions. But it is in this part that all the riddles and tasks are more interesting, because they are built in such a way that it is impossible to get tired of the monotonous work.
Special attention should be paid to graphics and sound. Everything that is found here, despite the simplicity of the textures, conveys the Japanese atmosphere. The developers thought well over the little world, since every detail, even the smallest, does not seem superfluous, it successfully complements the picture. Only the hotel leaves a bad impression - all rooms are the same. However, a moment of horror is present, and this, for the most part, is a merit not only graphic, but also sound. Passing "Nancy Drew" will make the player flinch, and more than once. All melodies are designed in Japanese style, and frightening moments occur along with the corresponding sounds. Thus, the combination of poor but well-thought-out graphics with stunning musical accompaniment allows you to be indulgent with some of the shortcomings.
Undoubtedly, the best part in the series of games is “Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water”, the passage of which from the very beginning challenges the fans of the quest genre. The player will need maximum logic and ability to solve puzzles and puzzles. There is no doubt that you can reach a clue if, of course, the main character makes every effort to stay alive.
