OCTOBER LETTER FROM HER INTERACTIVE
Happy Autumn everyone! Halloween is right around the corner and thus we felt it was an appropriate time to release an update on Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem.
While we have made significant progress concerning the script, character concepts and artwork in the game during the last 12 months, we’re simply not as far along in the overall development of the game as we originally anticipated. Bottom line, we are not in a position to confirm a launch date for Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem. We understand that many fans, due to the theme, thought this game would be released in time for Halloween but that is simply not the case. Please be assured that as soon as we are able to provide a release date, we will communicate it to the entire Nancy Drew universe. We sincerely appreciate your patience during this transitional period for the company.
As many of you know, our immediate focus has been on the recently launched Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues mobile series. Our inspiration for this new series for early learners was in part due to our amazing fan testimonials about how our games have inspired your interest in STEM education and careers. As you have undoubtedly noticed, coding has become a very hot topic, and an essential 21st century skill. We are excited that a much younger Nancy Drew is becoming such a positive STEM role model for girls across the globe.
In the meantime, we hope that you will take the time to play our 32 other PC/Mac titles, and that you will also try or recommend to family and friends our new Nancy Drew mobile app on iOS and Android – Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues.
Thank you for your ongoing support of HeR Interactive and Nancy Drew Games. We greatly appreciate our fantastic community and your notes of encouragement.
PS: We always love hearing from our fans, so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts, questions, or ideas with us at [email protected].
After Frances Tuttle, the last direct descendant of infamous Salem witch trial judge John Hathorne, passes away at age 102, his home, the Hathorne House, becomes city property. The mayor is currently in the process of deciding which candidate among our suspects is fit to manage the estate as a new tourist attraction, protected as a National Historic Place and has named Steven Danforth as the judge. On the night of October 21st, Steven’s young son Jason is found locked inside the upstairs library of the Hathorne House, with the room engulfed in flames. The child is rescued by the police, who discover upon entering, that the room is totally locked from the inside! Not only that, but the boy has no memory of who brought him to the room, or how he got in there – only reporting terrible visions of a “vile ghostly woman” with glowing eyes who spoke to him from within the fireplace flames. Earlier that evening, the police were tipped off by locals, who witnessed the boy dancing through the streets as though he was “bewitched.” As a result of her unique appearance and the town’s allegations, Mei Parris finds herself accused of witchcraft.
