"The pink one with the kisses on it goes next to the- the one with the pineapple earrings!" "Brandon, I want you to revise what you just said and realize just how stupid this let's play is. Brandon... you joined our Royal Air Force and learned how to kill, and right now you're spending your afternoons doing this." One of the greatest lets plays in YouTube history is because of this game.

This is one of the longer, more difficult games (at least in my opinion). However, it is easily one of my favorites. PROS: Great music, difficult puzzles, immersive atmosphere, and decent storyline/characters. CONS: There are a lot of phone conversations (personal preference). Nancy is also extremely nosey and apathetic in the game.

I enjoyed the Bento, I did enjoy the plot of the story and the characters.

Game 170 of my backlog A much better overall entry into the series after playing The Ghost Dogs at Moon Lake (which I didn't like). Longer and more difficult but the puzzles were not outlandish and annoying and not complete fetch quests. The minigames were fun, and tied into the actual game. The only potentially annoying part of this one is the Sudoku portion. It's required to play it. While it is not a difficult game (in general) to play, the one in this one is very forgiving and overall straightforward. I actually like Sudoku so this was a relaxing experience for me

Love the spooky factor of this Nancy mystery and the cutesy Japanese vibes of things like Bento, Plinko, and Suki the Robot Cat. I got addicted to Sudoku and Renograms - but HATED the nonograms. Overall the plot, location and characters are likeable and the puzzles are good, but I wish we didn't have to keep on skipping days to trigger things happening as sometimes it felt like all I was doing was sleeping until 7 pm, then again until 1 am. More could have been done with the hotel setting as was done in Carousel/Blackmoor/Tower with things like room service or helping with hotel tasks instead of making Nancy just another guest, but that's just nitpicky! Still has a spot in my top ten.
