In the meantime, please enjoy today’s teaser and further reveals this week. We want to thank you for your patience and understanding. We value the trust our fans place in us and you are always our top priority. But to fully evaluate these valuable fan insights and implement any changes, we have decided to delay the release of the new title by two weeks. We wanted you to be the first to know that our game, Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem will now release on Tuesday, December 3rd and pre-orders will begin on Tuesday, October 15th.ĭuring our internal and external testing of Nancy Drew: Midnight in Salem, we received tremendous feedback on the game. See below the most recent announcement letter from Penny Milliken: Now preorders are available October 15th. Three days ago, the company released another notice and yet another delay stating that the release date will now be Decemthis notice was given on the day of the preorders themselves. In the last month of spring 2019 the company released a letter that the game would be pushed back to November 2019 with preorders available as early as October 1, 2019. This was delayed until spring 2019 as the company faced a number of undisclosed difficulties. Still, others seem to be hurt by the apparent lack of transparency from the company during the last few years.įor example, the company initially announced a new game for 2015, Midnight in Salem. Some blame the change of leadership (CEOs as follows: Megan Gaiser for 12 years to 2011, Stuart Moulder 2011-2014, and Penny Milliken 2014- Present), others the more tight-lipped approach of the new PR department. The company did not do well with adapting to mobile platforms, newer operating systems, or the many other technological advances in gaming from the 2000s to present and appears to be in decline since 2015. HeR Interactive was able to obtain and hang onto a loyal crowd of fans by producing a collection of games at a steady rate. Each game contains any number of enigmas to overcome and usually has educative elements teaching kids about shorthand, tornado patterns, Braille, horticulture, mythology, astrology, and more. Based on characters from the books by Carolyn Keene, these adventures have also been exciting and family-friendly. Nancy Drew games have always been puzzle-heavy point-and-click adventures featuring an independent intelligent woman of the same namesake.

The company was able to release about two games a year on average (32 entries total) through 2015 when game production ceased after the Nancy Drew Mystery Sea of Darkness. So here’s me, giving them some love.HeR Interactive, founded in 1995 in the state of Washington after buying out a parent company, had a claim to fame from the Nancy Drew video game series. The current ND games are wonderful as they are – I firmly believe they just need a little more love. I seriously hope that after Sea of Darkness they don’t make a big mistake in taking the game in a more simplified direction in a misguided attempt to bring in more girl gamers who they think might be put off by anything more complicated than Candy Crush.

The Nancy Drew games are one of the few long-term on-going games series to feature an amazing female protagonist, and HerInteractive has always encouraged girls to get into gaming both in front of the screen and behind it. While this is concerning on its own, Minella and HerInteractive have both indicated that it’s part of a new strategy on the company’s part to try and draw in a bigger audience by making some drastic changes to the games.

Tragically, after fifteen years and thirty-two (!) successful and incredibly fun games, it has come to light that HerInteractive has (rather unceremoniously) replaced Lani Minella, Nancy’s voice actor.
