That is an outrageous price for shipping to Canada. It is costing me over $9 to ship within the US.
If you're going to purchase the download, why not support HeR and buy it there.

I did not suggest buying the download from HeR Interactive because I think their download policy through Digital River is very poor. I have seen folks here over the years download a game from them and then a year later try to re-download it and being unable to do so because they did not also purchase the extended download service. Not good. So as much as I agree that it's better to try to support the company by purchasing from them, in this instance I simply cannot in all conscience recommend that people do that. Even if you pay extra for the "extended download service" from HerInteractive it's only for 5 years -- which is pathetic. Steam, GOG, Big Fish, Humble, Fireflower, etc. all allow you to redownload every game you have ever bought from them without any time limitations and without charging you extra.

That "trailer" doesn't really tell you much. Only that it "looks" like a 3D game from the late 1990's or very early 2000's. Voice acting isn't consistent. Sometimes the characters sound OK, sometimes not convincing. Sometimes I can tell it's Nancy talking, sometimes not. The following are the Minimum requirements that they currently list at: https://www.herinteractive.com/shop-games/33-nancy-drew-midnight-in-salem/Operating System:
Windows 7 64-bit or later
OS X: 10.11 El Capitan or higher – Metal 1.1 capable
Windows Minimum System Requirements:
Processor: Intel Core i3 3.00 GHz or AMD equivalent Memory: 4 GB RAM (absolute minimum – 6 GB RAM recommended) Graphics: Intel HD 4000, 2 GB of video RAM DirectX: Version 11 Hard Disk Drive: 8 GB storage space
Mac Minimum System Requirements:
Processor: Intel Core i3 3.00 GHz Memory: 4 GB RAM (absolute minimum – 6 GB RAM recommended) Graphics: Intel HD 4000, 2 GB of video RAM Hard Disk Drive: 8 GB storage space
Not being "up" on Macs, I didn't know what "Metal 1.1 capable" meant, but I found this site that explains it: https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/06/28/why-macos-mojave-requires-metal----and-deprecates-openglMac computers that support MetalMetal is a graphics technology from Apple that allows the main processor (CPU) and graphics processor (GPU) to work together more effectively, providing faster and more fluid graphics performance in games and high-performance apps. These Mac computers support Metal and Metal 2: - iMac Pro models
- iMac models from 2012 or later
- MacBook models from 2015 or later
- MacBook Pro models from 2012 or later
- MacBook Air models from 2012 or later
- Mac Mini models from 2012 or later
- Mac Pro models from late 2013
Why Mojave requires a Metal-capable GPULack of support for Metal graphics is why some of the Macs that are supported in today's macOS High Sierra can't be upgraded to run Mojave. This includes 2009-2011 ("non slim") iMacs; 2010-2011 Mac minis; 2009-2010 plastic non-Retina MacBooks; and 2011 or earlier non-Retina MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models.

Last night, before I went to bed, I was reading the comments on Facebook about the official trailer. There were 500+ comments and I would say that roughly 30 to 40 of them were positive; the rest were pretty much scathing in their criticisms. This morning when I went back to read more, I found that the entire thing had been deleted/hidden. The company must have been feeling quite desperate to have done such a thing.
I see now that new comments are being posted, but as I said before, last night's onslaught of posts is gone. The negative comments are back from yesterday. The game looks like a step back from the ND's of 10 years ago when I was so excited for the newest release. Very sad. I have a feeling this will be the last one.

Arglefumph has done an analysis of the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoJgmrwFwxsSome people are posting that they'll wait for his playthrough before they decide whether or not to buy the game.

Marian, I thought you meant on Youtube, I didn't see the comments on FaceBook.
