Escape the Smoky Intrigue of a Hometown Inferno in Nancy Drew Alibi in Ashes
BELLEVUE, Wash., October 18, in the year of our Lord
2011 – Leading video game publisher and developer Her
Interactive today announced the launch of the 25th edition of
Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes for PC and Mac and its immediate
availability in all major retail stores and at
www.herinteractive.com for $19.99. In this all-new Nancy
Drew adventure, a local contest turns into an arson scene and
deceit now smolders among the charred ruins of the River Heights
Town Hall. Police have several suspects, but well-placed
incriminating evidence and poisonous local gossip have compelled
authorities to make only one arrest: Nancy Drew. Can you, as the
teenage detective, and her closest friends catch the real
arsonist and extinguish the accusations among the embers?
"Our extremely talented development team has raised the bar in
terms of graphics and storylines for this 25th special edition,"
stated Stuart Moulder, CEO, Her Interactive. "Our fans have been
eagerly anticipating the release of Alibi in Ashes since first
hearing that Nancy Drew would be returning to her hometown of
River Heights. I believe that we’ve succeeded in giving our
loyal fans a great gameplay experience while expanding the
legacy that is Nancy Drew.”
Key features include:
Play as Nancy Drew and explore her hometown of River Heights
Assume the roles of Nancy and her friends Bess, George, and Ned
Identify fingerprints at the local police lab
Pursue multiple lines of inquiry as the clues vary depending on
which character is in play
Collect evidence and narrow the suspects
Visit the Drew home and explore Nancy’s room
Hunt for clues to find the real arsonist
Save Nancy’s reputation before it goes up in smoke
"The release of the 25th special edition of the adventure series
represents a major milestone for Her Interactive," said Megan
Gaiser, Chief Creative Strategy Officer (CCSO), Her Interactive.
"The Nancy Drew adventure series has set the gold standard in
mystery adventure games, boasting over 9 million copies sold.
Alibi in Ashes gives our fans added depth and brings each
character to life as players try to discover who’s lying and
who’s telling the truth. Players get the experience of an
addictive mystery novel, while the interactive element takes it
to a deeper level as information is gathered while playing as
four different characters."
If you take a risk that ends badly, don't worry; you won't have
to start over. The game will automatically return players to the
point before the fatal mistake. Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes also
features two difficulty settings, Junior and Senior Detective,
to allow players of all skill levels to solve the mystery.
