NANCY DREW LIVES

Yes I am weird. Let's get past that.

One of my life obsessions is Nancy Drew computer games. You may scoff, but these games are actually difficult, filled with ridiculous puzzles that take hours to accomplish.

Unless you use an online walkthrough. Which I usually do.

WHATEVER! It's still fun. The graphics aren't fabulous and the voice-acting is pretty mediocre (really obnoxious when Nancy has a mission in a foreign country, like Ireland or Japan), but it's just one of those silly little comforts.

The latest game is quite chilling:

Basically, Nancy was meant to have restful stay in Kyoto, Japan but GOSHDARNIT she ends up in a reportedly haunted ryokan (traditional Japanese hotel)!!! Will she ever catch a break? Of course, as a seasoned detective, it is obvious that the haunting is a hoax, but who's behind it?

P.S. A little too much has been borrowed from The Ring. Long black-haired girls trapped in wells? Static on televisions? I mean really...

Anyways, I'll keep you updated on the outcome!
