Nancy Drew 23: Shadow at the Water's Edge Hints

Where can I get an EVP recorder?

  • 1 of 7: In this game, you'll read about EVP recordings in a couple of places. The comic book Nancy wants to buy at the pachinko parlor mentions them --
  • 2 of 7: -- and so does Savannah's book.
  • 3 of 7: Once you've read all the available pages of both of those things, give Savannah a call and ask her about EVP recordings. She's got an interesting insight about them.
  • 4 of 7: She says that whether or not they record ghosts, they're also a great way of eavesdropping on people without their knowledge. How very useful!
  • 5 of 7: Once you've talked to Savannah, you're ready to do some recording of your own. Go talk to the tech guy in this game --
  • 6 of 7: -- which is Rentaro, in case you didn't know, and ask him about EVP recordings. He'll loan you a small recorder, and you're off and running.
  • 7 of 7: If you don't have the option to ask Rentaro about EVP, go back and read all the pages of the comic and all the pages of the book, then call Savannah again. That should be enough to trigger the conversation option you need.
