I have something to add to this.

In the past week or so, someone posted a question on the Amateur Sleuth Blog of Her Interactive, asking the employee of Her Interactive who actually writes the Amateur Sleuth Blog, if they could confirm or deny that Midnight in Salem was actually being *worked* on - and the response was that she could neither confirm or deny this. This, after having put the game up on their product page, no less.

Feel free to draw your own conclusions, then, as to the status of Midnight in Salem.

You may want to check the system requirements before you buy.
They decided to change to a 3D game engine, so system requirements that can be met by pretty much any Nancy Drew fan with a computer are probably a thing of the past.

I am hoping that since upgrading to Windows 10 that the game will be compatible. It seems like HER is trying it's best to sabotage their own company. What a mess!

Because Her Interactive was confronted on Facebook this past week with their "cannot confirm or deny" that they are working on Midnight in Salem comment, as of two days ago they are now saying that they are actively working on Midnight in Salem. I really don't see why coming out and saying this prior to a week ago was somehow a problem, but apparently it was (unless they just started working on it in the last seven days, of course - at this point nothing would surprise me).

Maybe we will see the game next year.

The system requirements for the game haven't been released yet - those will be determined after the game is completed.

They did say on Facebook the other day that the price of the next game should be the same as it was before.

I am so disgusted with the "new" HerInteractive. Is this game coming out this year(2017) or not? After being treated to 2 new games a year from the former company this really stinks! mad

They say they are working on the game, but no one really knows for sure what the status is. There have been big changes at this company (unfortunately, and not for the better), and we are seeing the "results" of this now. It's a frustrating and disappointing situation. The new CEO appears to be much more interested in mobile apps and kids games than she is in the adventure game series. A lot of the fan base is seething at this point.

In other news, the game designer of all of the ND games since Shadow at the Water's Edge left the company in September, and the speculation is that if the game is being worked on that it is being outsourced rather than worked on in-house. From what we can tell, there are very few actual employees left at Her Interactive.

I have a small piece of info about Midnight in Salem, for those who care:

We have suspected for months that if this game is being worked on at all, it was being worked on elsewhere and not in-house, as Her Interactive has hardly any employees left as far as we can ascertain.

The fans have been asking for months now what the status of the game is, and it was finally admitted on the Amateur Sleuth Blog in the last couple of days, after repeated questioning, that the game is indeed being outsourced. This may be at least part of the reason why they aren't giving us any timeline as to a release date.

I'm still not convinced the game will ever be released at all, but there's the update.

Thanks Marian(I think!) smirk I wonder why they are doing what they're doing? Are they going to kill the Nancy Drew games? I cannot figure this out. They were very popular and sold well as far as I know. I am assuming that "outsourcing" means another company is going to finish the game? They sure aren't up front about things are they? I'm totally disgusted with HER. mad They got some 'splaining to do! blech
