Hello all! I see many of you are eager to play and read a review so I have decided to write one to help you ease the pain.
Plot/Characters: The plot was rather intriguing and unfolded nicely as the story progressed. It was very mysterious throughout and it you wanted to just keep going as there were no "uhm, what do I do now?" moments. I really liked this plot and liked the spooky aspect of it along with the story progression. It didnt go slow and drag on forever nor did it go by really fast. You got to learn information piece by piece and always wanted more.
The Characters, IMO, developed very well. In the beginning they were like regular people you just meet, not very open etc etc. But as the game progressed they opened up and you start feeling a connection with them. I felt this was very important because it made the game all the more real. It was a step by step process for their trust and friendship not right off the bat. Character interaction was pretty good. You talked to them when needed and they were very good conversations.
10/10
Puzzles: HeR has listened to us! The puzzles in this game contain all levels of difficulty at correct times. Like, when an important piece of information is about to be uncovered, it would be a difficult puzzle but if its a minor detail in the game they dont throw a huge complicated puzzle at you. These puzzles are at the most very original and most were fun. You didnt feel like they were just thrown in there. They all had a purpose.*EDIT: There were alot of puzzles, but meaningful.
9.8/10
Music/Graphics: HeR never fails to deliver in these two categories. To sum it up all I can say is: WOW! You thought the graphics in the demo were good? You havent played the game! They were so rich and vivid and you felt like you were really in Japan. The Music was perfect, it added to each moment in the game and was very accurate. The music was dramatic when necessary and calm and serene the other times. It made everything all the more real and it still had a japanese vibe from it.
10/10
Snooping/Scary Factor: TUNTUNTUN!
what you have all been waiting for! Lets start with the snooping. I felt this game had a significant amount of snooping when necessary. It's not like this game is ALL snooping but you will do some here and there.
Scary Factor... wow. This game surely exceeded the expectations! There were so many scary moments that I was on my toes throughout the whole game. Each moment was scarier then the last and I barely slept last night! I definitely find this game scarier then CUR and this game is just straight up spooky! I have goosebumps just thinking about it! The scariness was definitely fun and you had no idea when to expect it.
Spoiler free ending: The ending kept you on your toes and the culprit caught me off guard. All I'm saying is, to keep everyone as a suspect. This is one of my favorite endings! It took some logic and critical skills, very fun! You felt really accomplished at the end!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I give this game a 10/10 and is currently my #1 favorite Nancy Drew. As for the length, it was perfect! It wasnt too short nor too long. It was about the same length as CUR IMO and lasted me over a day. EDIT* 14 hours not including breaks :) There were many secrets to be unveiled! It is very engaging and you just wont want to stop! HeR really has listened and I cannot wait until everyone else plays it too!

I'm glad that HeR has listened to us about the puzzles too. This was excellent, thorough with the perfect amount of details. I can't wait to play!
I really think the old nancy drew is back
