Friends of Nancy

As readers of this blog, I wanted to let you in on a little secret. Her Interactive is working on a game with Nancy's friends. Below is a picture of one of them.



But here's the catch - it's a Nintendo DS game.

And it won't be available until Spring 2009. Stay tuned for more information!

Pieces of HAU 5

We're getting closer and closer everyday... So today's tidbit for you. I've invited our game designer to describe The Haunting of Castle Malloy in her own words and this is what she had to say:

"Nancy was expecting a quiet arrival and a chance to finally meet the groom but has instead found herself at an Irish castle in the middle of the night with more questions than answers.

Where did Matt disappear to?
Why is Kyler so calm about the disappearance?
Who – or what – gave Kit that black eye?
When will the doomed individual at Castle Malloy that Donal mentioned meet their fate?
And what is up with that crow?

The secrets and clues are now in your hands. Discover the chilling truth hidden behind the castle’s walls and find Matt before it’s too late!"



Pieces of HAU 4

It only gets busier from here... I really don't know what to say, but I look foward into next month and I see a train or a whole herd of sheep trampling my way... There's just so much that we're working on! You guys have no idea what we have in store for you for the rest of this year. As if The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Wii game wasn't cool enough already, just wait and see what we announce next!
In the meantime, we're relaunched the Music of Mysteries Vol. 3 soundtrack and have just added Vol 4. Volume 4 features music from The Haunting of Castle Malloy, plus White Wolf of Icicle Creek, Legend of the Crystal Skull, The Phantom of Venice, and the Nancy Drew theme song! Yes, the newly reorchestrated Nancy Drew theme song that's perfect to play before some of the games that don't have the signature piece where the books used to be. Don't you love how adventurous and rich the new version sounds?

And hopefully, you've preordered The Haunting of Castle Malloy already - the preorders started on Monday. But in the meantime, you should try out our Bodhran beat mini-game. It's taken directly from the game and gives you a little bit of practice for the real thing. Of course, the real game is a little harder and has more songs, but this gives you a pretty good feel for one of the activities at the Screaming Banshee Inn. The other activities, well there is an arcade.

You get to play darts.


Preorders Start Monday 9/15

Yes, the time has come - we are taking preorders for the boxed product starting on Monday 9/15. That means that The Haunting of Castle Malloy will be here soon! It'll be interesting to see if we can follow up our smash hit The Phantom of Venice with this game, which is also a lot of fun, but the stakes are higher. Afterall, if it was only days from your wedding and your fiance disappeared on you, wouldn't you turn the world upside down to find him? And what if you discovered that he was possibly taken by a banshee???

Banshees - legend says that when you hear one screen, someone close to you is fated to die. What would a banshee (if they really do exist) want with Kyler Malloy's finace? Is she trying to get revenge on the family for something that happened decades ago? It's up to you as Nancy Drew to find out!

Amazing Videos

I was doing some research and came across 'fan' videos - what a treat! This one was particularly funny. What talent our players have - who knows, maybe one will become the next Hitchcock!

HAU Is GOLDEN!

We just went gold for HAU - and this, 10 years a week to the date of when we went gold for our very first ND game, Secrets Can Kill!

Thank you players for your dedication to our games - we wouldn't be here today without you!
