Highlighting Other Indie Game Developers!

Greetings, savvy sleuths! One thing that we at Airtight Alibi LOVE about our team is that most of us were drawn to this project as community members of HeR Interactive's Nancy Drew PC games.

For those that aren't aware, our game (which you can learn more about here) was inspired by HeR Interactive's games. We loved the style, the charm, and the worlds that HeR created. While the company was taking an excessively long time to release their 33rd installment, our team was formed to make our own game.

As time went on, more and more fans started their own journeys of making games that were inspired by Nancy Drew. Some of these games have been in the works for years! The devotion, creativity, and passion for these projects is so inspiring to our team that we couldn't help but share the amazing work being done by other fellow game developers.

Penelope Pendrick and the Art of Deceit

This game has been in the works for a decade and is being created solo by Airtight Alibi's very own Julia Holdnack! She is our 3D environment artist and has done some phenomenal work for the game. Her solo project is releasing in 2025 and can be wishlisted on Steam right now!

What Was Found at Ravenhill

Last but most certainly not least is a point-and-click adventure game called What Was Found at Ravenhill. This game is being developed solely by indie developer Distant Dimensions. His game has been in development for over a year and doesn't yet have a set release window, however he has also developed several games previously which can be accessed via his Substack page.

The level of quality in the works from these developers cannot be understated. I know I speak on behalf of the rest of our team when I say that these all look excellent and I cannot wait for each one of these to release! Which one of these projects are you most excited about? Are there any other games that we didn't mention that were inspired by HeR Interactive's games? We would love to hear about them!

Sincerely,
