good but never playing it again

What do you mean "there's a ghost, Nancy" I'm out here till 3am playing pachinko and solving sudoku puzzles, the only thing I'm haunted by is success, bitch. I don't even lose sleep when I bring up your dead mother in increasingly inappropriate ways.

fun puzzles fun story fun locations
vewy scawy
nancy can also make some crazy ass choices in this
too many nonograms tho

-0.5 stars for Takae dragging on so long
-1 star for the endgame nonogram
-1 star for the culprit's motives

Also, did they seriously just ignore the garden courtyard just for the one bit when Nancy looked through the peephole in the bathroom to find the (redacted secret area)? That's not how architecture works!

The location in this game is awesome! Probably one of the better locations in this series. Some of the puzzles are ridiculous though and are stupidly long and hard especially on senior detective.

For someone as interested in Japanese culture as I am, you'd think this is the one I'd always come back to play. I do enjoy a lot of the puzzles, even the controversial picture frame one and monster sudoku, but unfortunately I hate the way Nancy is butting in to the characters' lives.
Miwako: "Welcome to our Ryokan! Please enjoy your stay and let us know if you need anything 😄 "
Nancy: "Please tell me about your mom and how she died."
