There have actually been some comments made in the last few days on the Amateur Sleuth Blog that suggest that Midnight in Salem is actually being worked on. Let's just say that if it isn't being worked on, the falsehoods are getting more elaborate.
Here is one Q and A from the blog:
Do you know if anyone around the office has gotten to play it yet? In the podcast with Jared he sounded so enthusiastic about it, but maybe he’s just a good marketer 😉

We have seen early grey-boxed scene layouts and we know the script and characters, but since it’s still work-in-progress, the details may change. 🙂
And there have been other comments in the last week or so similar to this. In the podcast with Jared, he says something to the effect that they can't wait for fans to get to play Midnight in Salem (for those reading this who don't know who Jared is, he is the marketing director for HeR Interactive).
