Jackalopes in The Silent Spy

Last June some Her Interactive team members traveled across the bridge to Seattle, where our favorite local sound recording studio is (it’s right near the Safeco baseball field).

Game Timeline: The Silent Spy

There is sooo much secret information about The Silent Spy that I would love to share, but it must remain a mystery, or else it wouldn’t be a mystery.

What IS that thing?! Mr. Skinbag.

I have seen many comments and questions about the critter seen in Ghost of Thornton. One of the “scares” in the Showroom is when a ugly-looking creature slides across the floor past you, or even at you. This is a naked mole rat. A giant one. One of our artists, Filmer, had a lot of […]
