HER INTERACTIVE KICKS OFF PRE-SELL FOR REMASTERED NANCY DREW: SECRETS CAN KILL

New Ending and Items added to Title that Launched Award-Winning Series

BELLEVUE, Wash., August 2, 2010 - In celebration of Nancy Drew's 80th anniversary, Her Interactive is re-releasing their first game in the award-winning adventure series, Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill. Pre-sell orders begin today at the Her Interactive website (www.HerInteractive.com). But, as with any good Nancy Drew mystery, all is not as it seems. Her Interactive also reveals the title will feature a brand-new ending, in addition to updated graphics, characters, puzzles, and other 80thanniversary-inspired items.

"Whether you played the original, or are looking for your first Nancy Drew game, this game has something for everyone," says Megan Gaiser, CEO of Her Interactive. "What better way to celebrate the anniversary of an icon than to revisit the game that started it all 12 years ago? Fans won't be disappointed with the full 3-D graphics, new puzzles, vintage Nancy Drew references and of course, a new ending to put a completely fresh spin on a classic gaming adventure."

When Jake Rogers is murdered and the killer escapes, Nancy Drew steps in to unravel the mystery and uncover the secret that was supposed to die with him. In pure Nancy Drew style, you must follow the clues, solve the puzzles, question the suspects - including a new one, and ultimately expose the culprit when all others have failed.

In addition to the game's new look, this Secrets Can Kill also features a completely re-mastered soundtrack that provides an even more immersive game-playing experience. Throughout the game, there are references to past Nancy Drew games and books, such as vintage artwork and game titles. Unlike the original, this re-mastered version can also be played on Mac computers. And, as a thank you to the fans, the developers included fan-created, Nancy Drew-inspired artwork to many of the game environments.

Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill REMASTERED will launch at retail on August 24th at a suggested retail price of $19.99, but pre-sell orders are being taken now at www.HerInteractive.com. The game is available in a dual format disc, playable on both Windows PCs and Apple Mac computers. The game is rated E10+ with Violence, Drug Reference.


I pre-ordered mine. Have fun!!

I enjoyed this game when it came out originally. I'm looking forward to the remastered version. The older Nancy Drews were real mysteries...with real sleuthing involved. I'm so tired of doing chores!!!! frown

Hi JKEerie and gatsbygirl wave

I too played the original when it was first released, and I couldn't agree more. I'm really looking forward to some good old fashioned Nancy Drew sleuthing!!

I preordered this already too. I've played the original Secrets Can Kill and am very interested in seeing what they have done with the remastered version.

There were a lot less "chores in the first few Nancy Drew games. I hope they don't stick some in the remastered version.

I've picked on ND recently, but this is one of the original games I have and won't sell. I liked the puzzles and storylines in the older games, wished they would update them, but why mess with a good thing?! I agree with Kaki's Sister, NO CHORES! If they're remastering it, I'll buy it.

How'd Ripper go, kjos?

Hi BubbaJake Just finished it yesterday. Off and on playing other games. Awful grainy and I clicked on the wrong ripper at the end of the game. Thanks for helping me along with the game.

Very good news! This was one of the few games in the series which I actually didn't bother to play because of the graphics, but now I can finally play it! laugh

I have not played the 1st game and what you guys say about less chores and more mystery sounds great. Hopefully they will stick to original gameplay.

This is also the only Nancy Drew game that actually involves a murder, if I recall correctly.

I have played many Nancy Drews, and I think that this game will be better than the first SCK, because in that one, you have to switch disks every time you go to a different place in the game, and the graphics will be 3-D and not 2-D!

There is a slider puzzle on top of a wooden box, as seen in one of the trailers.

Thanks LadyLinda. I thought so. I hate slider puzzles I get stuck every time. I guess I will get the game anyway. Maybe somebody will have a save. Thanks

Hi, Richard!

That makes 2 of us lol ! Whenever I solve a slider puzzle, it's always by sheer accident because, even though I'm sure there is a strategy, I have yet to figure out what it is.

I have pre- ordered the game from herinteractive and it should ship this week. As for the slider puzzle I had trouble with it the first time but I can solve it now. I can't wait to see the new format! Usually there are 2 new ND games a year. This will be a welcome bonus! I am curious to see if the game will follow the original story line.

I love the older ND and wonder why they have changed from the mystery format.
They seemed to be geared to younger people but I don't think younger people are interested in Nancy Drew.
I saved all my ND games for my granddaughter but she's not interested. She's into action games.
Does anyone know of younger fans of Miss Drew or is HER missing it's market which is us the older mystery fans?
I'm very happy for a remake of 'Secrets Can Kill'

Hi, cassadaga!

I think it's just the opposite. The original Nancy Drew games were geared towards much younger gamers, but things changed when older gamers developed an interest in them. The earlier game boxes read "For Mystery Fans 10 and Up". Now they read "For Mystery Fans 10 to Adult". I sometimes check out HerInteractive's message board, and the majority of posters are school age.

I was late to the party because I didn't discover Nancy Drew until about 10 years ago when I found a couple of jewel cases in "Future Shop" for $9.99. I read Nancy Drew books as a kid so decided to give them a shot, and I was immediately hooked. Of course, that meant I had to buy all of the ones I had missed because a new one was about to be released.
