About the Game

This classic horror game, set at a family’s traditional Japanese inn, features mysterious ghostly accidents startling and scaring off guests. Could the investigation be stirring up the ghost of an ancient Japanese yurei, or the very human emotions of deep sorrow, jealousy, and loss of love? Beware – there is no comfort in the horror of dark hallways and and the depths of the mysterious onsen baths when mind games trick even the smartest detectives.

Confront Terrifying Secrets in a Haunted Japanese Inn!

Nancy Drew heads for Japan where she’s staying at a traditional ryokan (inn) for a little R&R with Bess and George, but when reports of a vengeful ghost start scaring away the guests, Nancy’s vacation takes a turn for terror! It’ll be up to you, as Nancy Drew, to uncover the secret that lies beneath the surface, before the ghost can take its revenge!
