Her Interactive, the leading mystery maker and publisher of 23 award-winning Nancy Drew games for the PC and game consoles launched Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill Remastered, August 24th, 2010.
Even Nancy Drew is headed back to high school this week, but more than books and tests are at stake. Everyone’s favorite teen sleuth has a murder mystery to solve before the killer has a chance to strike again.
To celebrate Nancy Drew’s 80th anniversary, Her Interactive has remastered its first interactive mystery adventure, Secrets Can Kill. While visiting her aunt in Florida, Nancy stumbles upon a murder mystery at the local high school that only she can solve. With a school full of suspects and too many motivations to count, you’ll need all of your wits to discover the culprit.
Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill Remastered for the PC will feature completely redesigned 3D animated characters, enhanced graphics, and new puzzles, all designed to appeal to fans old and new. In addition, Her Interactive is incorporating vintage Nancy Drew references, from original book titles to artwork, to celebrate Nancy’s 80 years of solving mysteries.
“Nancy Drew is as inspiring and relevant today as she was 80 years ago,” says Megan Gaiser, president, Her Interactive. “She embodies the characteristics all women admire – guts, resourcefulness, confidence, intelligence, and optimism. What better way to celebrate a role model, than to bring the original interactive experience to life for a new generation of fans!”
Gaiser notes that amongst the fastest growing demographics for gaming – girls and women – they are seeing thousands of examples of moms who grew up with Nancy Drew are now playing the games with their daughters. Together they are both excited and inspired by the games. “Women can be young again and girls can see what it feels like to be a fearless detective. Our games bring moms and daughters together, which is very much needed in today’s society.”
Key Features:
- Play the game that started the award-winning Nancy Drew series!
- Explore a high school and snoop through confidential files on the suspects
- Dust for fingerprints and inspect everything with your magnifying glass.
