Some kid named Lukas won’t let us in unless we do a puzzle for him first. We try to get into the castle, but right away we run into a problem. Maybe there’s somewhere else to explore around here.” UGH, FINE, IF YOU INSIST, NANCY. Hey, Nancy, what if we just turn around and leave, huh? Oh look! Here’s the exact castle gates we saw in the flashback! And we’re stuck outside them, with the forest full of monsters behind us! Okay, that’s fine, this is fine. The creature drags her off, and we cut to “GERMANY, PRESENT DAY.” ~*~Spooky~*~ She tries to run to a castle, but the gates are closed. “GERMANY, A LONG TIME AGO.” How long ago, though? Like, before it was Germany? Some peasant chick goes walking in the forest, and promptly gets jumped by a ~mysterious creature~. This monster has been stalking the castle for centuries, apparently, but if Nancy could just solve the mystery once and for all, that would be awesome. He’s an investor who owns Castle Finster, and he’s freaking out because there’s a monster terrorizing the castle. Nancy’s being called to Castle Finster in Germany, at the behest of a Markus Boehm. It gets absolutely zero points for the concept, but all of the points for execution. This game, on the other hand, is a straightforward monster mystery with just enough sideplot to give it some extra depth. If Shadow at the Water’s Edge has any flaws, it’s that while the core story is great, it has a lot of unnecessary flourishes and the plot ends up meandering every now and then.

This one is nothing special, story- or character-wise - it reuses a lot of plot points and tropes from the past games, but it does them all very well, and the result is great fun.
