Shadow at the Water’s Edge
Tradition plays an important role in this Nancy Drew game, just like tradition plays a role in fashion. Use some classic, time-honored pieces in this outfit that invokes the spirit of SAW. A bow blouse, a floral kimono, simple burgundy pants, gold loafers, a gold hairbow, and a box bag create the base. Fan earrings, an origami crane necklace, gold bamboo bracelets, a floral phone case, a bow ring, and a cherry blossom ring complete the look.

. . .  so Nancy just straight up stole one of the security keycards for the Ryokan Hiei’s safe to keep as a souvenir.

SAW Thoughts:
P.G. Krolmeister: “thanks for cracking that Canute case, N.D.! Have an all expense paid trip to one of the most haunted ryokans in Japan for a little R&R, my treat lolol.” He has a weird way of showing gratitude...
Not even in the ryokan five minutes and so it begins: “What happened to your mother?” I think I’m gonna keep count of how many times Nancy asks this throughout the game.
Nancy to Bess and George: “getting settled in, but I’ll be seeing you guys soon.” HAHAHAHA YOU LIAR
In the last game, I was able to set the Hardy Boys as my phone background. This game, Dave Gregory. Is HeR on the same page with us about Ned??? :D
Ugh, Takae’s l o n g...d r a w n... o u t... s e n t e n c e s... I did not miss this at all and yet I suffer through it because I love this game. Plus it gives me time to type out my thoughts so thanks, Takae, I guess.
I am nothing if not a completionist, but completing all of these damn nonograms/sudoku, and renograms to get that award is VERY time consuming BUT I NEED TO DO IT.
Why does Nancy have herself as a contact to call in her phone? What’s she gonna do? Call herself and tell her what’s going on at the ryokan she’s staying at and then...she’s just...going to...reply to herself?? Nancy..ru ok¿
*Nancy waking up in the middle of the night because of a shadow outside her room* “Excuse me, Miss? You are sleepwalking outside on my balcony. Not only is that dangerous, but I have work at 7am AND I work for 12 hours...could u sleepwalk somewhere else? Thanks a bunch.”
Nancy Drew: not above pimping her friends out to men for information on a case
I remember when the girl in the mirror used to scare the SHIT out of me. Now I’m just like, Rentaro, u dumb bitch. I hope ur paying for those damages.
I fucking SUCK at origami *crumples up paper and hits Takae in the head with it* BULLSEYE!
WHY CANT NANCY PRONOUNCE RENTARO’S NAME RIGHT AFTER SHES HEARD OTHERS SAY IT A DOZEN TIMES OVER?????¿¿¿
Yumi: “Hey hi what’s up hello just met you, make bento for me BYE. Also, here’s the key to my apartment, I trust you enough not to steal anything or Yano, come in while I’m asleep and bludgeon me to death. Also here’s my phone number, gonna send you some selfies LOL.” Yumi is definitely my favorite character in this game though.
The only time Takae talks fast is when I’m trying to keep up with the names of the items she’s talking about for the tea ceremony. For fuck’s sake.
Nancy: why do you spend all of your time here when you live next door? Rentaro: BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT TO DEAL WITH KEEPING TABS ON THE ROBOT I MADE OF MY GIRLFRIEND’S DEAD MOTHER, WREAKING HAVOC AND WHATNOT.
Nancy spying on Miwako and Rentaro through a peephole reminds me of Norman Bates pretty much doing the same in Bates Motels (if u haven’t watched it 10/10 WOULD recommend)
Pachinko suffices my gambling addiction
Logan is a huge chode
Takae is in the middle of an epic monologue so I’m just typing away ignoring her until she’s done...weathers wonderful, trump sucks, MID is actually coming out?? This season of Game of Thrones has let me down so very much..I wonder if Bernie from CRY is still alive?? blah blah I want pizza or Taco Bell can’t decide..OKAY SHES DONE THX FOR READING
I’ve pissed off Takae and Miwako asking about Kasumi, time to go piss off Yumi now. GIVING PTSD TO ALL THE SHIMUZI FAMILY!
I’m v. confused about what happens to kill Nancy when she gets locked in that room. Does the ceiling or something fall on her head, resulting in permanent brain damage? “I’m Dancy New, bonjour to my latest stint..Water at Edge’s Shadow..I teach Japanese to American adults.” Or does Rentaro attack her from behind and just outright kill her? Either thought is v. disturbing.
Of course the Nanogram picture is a Fox because there’s a fox in the hen house *cough cough* Rentaro...okay I’m done now
The family’s story is extremely tragic and you could see them all grieving Kasumi in different ways and how it’s basically torn them apart...it’s heartbreaking.
I make Rentaro pack his bags and GTFO. I don’t give him a chance to explain things to Miwako because it’s despicable what he did AND HE TRIED TO KILL ME LIKE THREE TIMES AND RUIN KASUMI’S MEMORY AND THE RYOKANS LEGACY. Sorry not sorry...some (most) men are just disappointing.
I fucking love this game so much. Pretty sure this was the first game that actually terrified me even though I was already an adult when I first played it. I saw The Grudge when I was like 8 and have had PTSD from it ever since so that prob explains it. All in all, GOOD GAME.
Btw, I counted 25 total times that Nancy asked “What happened to your mother?” 🤦🏼‍♀️

My Favorite Video Games - Salem
Hiya, everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic day. Recently a game came out that I've been waiting to release for a couple years, and after playing it I was inspired to list and talk about a few of my favorite games and why they're so special to me. So, in no particular order, let's begin.
#element-25382722-97e1-483f-aa56-de277c6d320b .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}
#1 Detroit: Become Human This game just came out on the 25th of last month I believe and it's already one of if not my absolute favorite game of all time. Quantic Dream has made some of my favorite games of all time (another one of which you'll see later on) and they really introduced to me how you could have a video game that gives you the same emotional impact as a book or film, only with the added element of directly involving you into the story. DBH follows the stories of Markus, Kara, and Connor, all androids navigating the world they were created to hopefully better. They each have beautifully rich stories and you become deeply invested into these characters and want to do your best to achieve the best outcomes for all of them within each of their storylines.
#2 Life is Strange This 2015 Don't nod title explores the life of Max Caulfield after returning to Arcadia Bay to attend Blackwell Academy. Then some stuff goes down and BOOM she can rewind time! You then follow her trying to figure out her rewind power with her best friend Chloe, who I love dearly, as odd things start happening in the town. This is another game with a big focus on choices, though done in a different way than Quantic Dream and more like another game we will discuss later. Your choices and how you interact with others can have consequences immediately or way later in the game. Lots of twists and turns and lots of emotional turmoil.
#3 Telltale's The Walking Dead series Ever wanted to feel your soul be forcefully ripped out of you and stomped into the ground as you sob? Then welcome to The Walking Dead by Telltale. The choices in this game are similar to how they work in Life is Strange where there's usually two main options which will impact the story, but it does stay mainly linear. Telltale has a lot of amazing series so if zombies aren't your things I'd recommend their Game of Thrones game, The Wolf Among Us, or their Batman series. But as for The Walking Dead, you start off with a man by the name of Lee Everett in the back of a cop car on his way to jail when suddenly you get into a crash. Upon getting out you see the cop who was driving has turned into a zombie as you are introduced to what the world is becoming. You stumble upon a house where you find a little girl named Clementine and the rest of the game follows your journey together trying to figure out how to navigate this new world with friends you'll meet along the way.
#4 Heavy Rain The first Quantic Dream game I ever played and has definitely shaped the kind of games I seek out to enjoy. You play as 4 characters by the names of Norman Jayden, Scott Shelby, Ethan Mars, and Madison Paige. The main plotline follows Ethan searching for his son who has been kidnapped by the Origami Killer, and seeing how far you will go to save your son. Unlike Detroit, this game has none of the futuristic element and just focuses around this serial killer and everyone trying to find Ethan's son Jason. There are a lot of very interesting character plots and dynamics and lots of twists and turns that make this game fun each time you return to it. I definitely recommend going into this game with a blind eye and not reading up on it so you can have the best initial experience possible.
#5 Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines I very recently purchased this game after watching part of a walkthrough of it online and immediately wanted to play it. Fortunately for me a couple weeks later the Steam Summer sale came around and it was on sale and I immediately purchased it and have been loving it ever since. You get the option to play as one of 7 different types of vampires each with different interactions and ways of going through the game, giving a lot of replay value. While this game did come out awhile ago and there are quite a few bugs with it, with the patches fans have continued making the game runs decently smoothly so there's not as much issue. It's definitely a bunch of fun and I highly recommend it.
#6 Dead by Daylight Unlike the rest of the games so far, DBD is a multiplayer survival game where 4 players are survivors and one player is the killer. I've enjoyed playing this game for awhile now as it's just fun and there's a bit of different play styles with the different characters and perks/abilities you can assign those characters. You can play it casually from time to time like I do or you can continue to rank up until you become a top rank killer or survivor. Plus, if you have other friends with the game you can bring them in as well and go into matches together or have games with just a bunch of friends with no one else. Definitely a lot of fun and I would recommend people trying it out.
#7 Nancy Drew PC games Okay so this is a bit more general as I'm a fan of the majority of the games in this series. I started playing these games when I was about 12 or 13 with my sister and have continued since as I just genuinely like them a lot. You play as Nancy Drew, amateur detective extraordinaire. If you're familiar with the Nancy Drew book series there are two games based on books, Secret of the Old Clock and The Secret of Shadow Ranch. Whereas the rest of the games are then their own separate thing, with Nancy often travelling around the world to solve mysteries. I genuinely love a bunch of the games but some recommendations would be Warnings at Waverly Academy, Danger by Design, and Shadow at the Water's Edge, all of which are available on Steam.
#8 The Last of Us Want a rich storyline but also really creepy zombies out to kill you around every turn? Then The Last of Us is for you. I get quite spooked by this game as the clickers are some of the actual creepiest things I've seen in my entire life, but it makes it more challenging which overall I enjoy. You play as Joel who once again is just trying to survive this new world when he ends up coming along Ellie who he is told he has to smuggle away for reasons he is not immediately made aware of. The scenery in this game is gorgeous and all of the characters are nicely well rounded. Overall definitely recommend.
#9 World of Warcraft WoW is something I've been playing since I was a child though of course back then I mainly just ran around as a Night Elf not really doing anything I was told. Now I generally play Alliance as I tend to play as a Worgen druid and mainly just play up to level 20 and if I'm in the mood to continue with that character I'll buy a subscription but I tend to only focus on one game at a time so I haven't gotten super high level in anything yet but I hope to get more into it.
#10 Resident Evil/Biohazard This game is a little different to the others as I haven't really played that much of it myself but I have really fond memories of watching my sister play it on Game Cube and thinking it was so cool but was way too scared to actually play it by myself for a long period of time. I ended up as I got older watching people online play it and it's just a story line I really like and the atmosphere is super cool. I watch the Game Grumps playthrough of it and Silent Hill Shattered Memories all the time when I'm really stressed out or in a bad place and it just has a lot of positive memories and connections for me.
I hope you guys enjoyed this little list of games, of course I couldn't include everything as we'd be here forever so I just did a handful. If there are any games that mean a lot to you or you just love a lot be sure to leave them in the comments and let me know! -Salem
