     The character profiles have also been released! You can view them here: SPY Characters
And last, but not least, there are four screenshots from the game that have been posted! Here they are:

"Tucked away amongst the trees of Loch Lomond are the
cabin and training arena. Is this a safe place to
hide? Or does danger follow you here?"

"The Brae Training Area provides you
with the space to hone your combat skills.
The gadgets in here may also prove useful
to your investigation."

"Welcome to Glaucus Lodge, your hotel
in Glasgow! The courtyard is the perfect
place to meet with the locals and
inconspicuously grab a snack."

"Your cozy hotel room may be your
temporary home base, but don't take your
safety for granted. Your enemies can
still find you seven floors up."

     My personal favorites are the Loch Lomond and the Glaucus Lodge! A bit of information that was not revealed, but discovered, is that the woman on the cover art is indeed Nancy's mom, Kate Drew! If you go to the merchandise store, you will see that the image is tagged "Agent Kate"!

     In the world of Nancy Drew books, we are just twelve days away from the release of Once Upon a Thriller, the fourth book in the Diaries series. I also found out that the book shown below is set for release in winter of 2014. The series says Nancy Drew Diaries, but the titles are of graphic novels that were released in 2005. Obviously, from the home page, they are still graphic novels, so I'm not sure if Simon & Schuster are allowing Papercutz to re-release all of the Nancy Drew Graphic novels as Graphic Diaries, or not. The Demon of River Heights and Writ in Stone may or may not be the only books released in this format.

Is this the first in a set of new
Nancy Drew Graphic Diaries??

What Does Nancy Drew Look Like?

     For those of you who don't know, HeR Interactive is a game company that has been making Nancy Drew games for 15 years. They have made 28 ND games. Their most recent one, Ghost of Thornton Hall came out the beginning of this month. At the end of every game is a trailer for the next one.

     The trailer for the newest game was very short and only revealed a small amount of information, but it has everyone very curious and excited. These are the things we know about the game:

1. It will be called The Silent Spy
2. It will be set in Glasgow, Scotland
3. It will be about Nancy's MOM!

     You can watch the trailer here:

     There are a lot of people who are excited about this game, but some people are not looking forward to it. Not much is known about Nancy's mother or how she died. And a lot of people want it to stay that way. Here is what we do know:

• Nancy was only three years old when her mother died (ten in the original Classic books)
• Her maiden name was Austin
• Her family to America from Scotland and her grandmother (Nancy's Great-Grandmother) still lives there
• She died of a long, mysterious illness

     The French Nancy Drew books say that her first name was Elise, her maiden name was Beauchamp, and she is from Louisiana. In the 2002 pilot episode of a Nancy Drew show that never took off, Nancy says that her mother died of a heart attack. I have also heard some people say that she died in a car accident, but I am not sure where that came from.

     Some people are very concerned that, because this game is about Nancy's mom, we may finally see her dad, Carson in this game. We have talked to him over the phone a few times, but never actually see him. This may also be our chance to see Hannah, Ned, Nancy's Great-Grandmother, and maybe even Nancy herself. Personally, I will not be bothered by seeing anyone in this game. I actually want to! I have seen so many different interpretations of what people think Nancy and her family and friends look like that seeing one more will not bother me a bit and I am interested in knowing how HeR imagines Nancy to look. Here are a few different versions of what people have thought Nancy to look like over the years:

Graphic Novel 1, Girl Detective 44, Emma Roberts, Tracy Ryan
Classic 44, Classic 1, Girl Detective 41, Several Different Pictures

     What are your thoughts about possibly seeing what Nancy or certain other characters look like in a HeR Interactive game for the first time?
