There is a bonus system that awards achievements to those who are the most thorough detectives. Icons are placed at the bottom of the screen for inventory, a journal, a cellphone which doubles as a camera, a to-do checklist and other game mechanics. The game plays similarly to other releases in the series with a point-and-click interface.

Players will also take part in crafting (origami and calligraphy) and cooking a Japanese meal.

Like in Message in a Haunted Mansion, the game includes a clock since the time of day influences when some events or conversations will occur. Others include number puzzles, or image manipulating puzzles. Some are based on cultural pastimes like sudoku and pachinko. Some parts of the game are intended to give players a sense of foreboding and, therefore, have haunting music and darker scenes.Ĭonversations with the in-game characters trigger other events, puzzle-solving opportunities and additional character questions. Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge has a colorful 3D atmosphere and characters. When an encounter with an angry ghost startles Nancy and scares other guests away, she begins investigating a mysterious death which occurred at the inn five years ago. Nancy teaches English to young students while friends Bess and George attend a convention. If this still doesn't make sense, I suggest going to YouTube and searching "arglefumph Shadow At The Waters Edge Part 10" that should lead you right to the part where he shows you how to get Savannah's book step by step.This adventure game takes place in Kyoto, Japan, at the site of a beautiful Japanese inn, the Ryokan Hiei. Call them all the time, once you get up, before you go to sleep, everytime you do something off of your checklist (Junior Mode) and everytime you figure out something new or finish another puzzle. Remember the key to getting the book, is to ALWAYS pester George, Bess and Logan I think you have to call her more than once to get the book Wait a day or a few hours, then I believe you have to then have to call George back and make sure she has it. Click on the envelope, Nancy will either automatically put the sudoku in the envelope or you will have to select the puzzle in your inventory and then select the envelope for it to work. Once you've finished the puzzle go to your room and look at the red folder beside the box with all the kids homework in it (the one with the green lid and flower stickers on it). Here's the spoiler on how to totally finish the puzzle: If Nancy says something like: "Done!" "There!" or something like that, and if you can't erase or move any numbers, it means you've correctly finished the puzzle.
