"Dear Julie,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, for being such a great fan, and for your feedback, it is invaluable.

We are sorry for any frustration the delay has caused, and want you to know that your comments have been passed on to the appropriate personnel here at HeR Interactive.

While we do not know what the future holds, the changes that have occurred recently are in response to requests from our fans, the ever and quickly, changing technology landscape, and evolving platforms and formats in the game industry. As a company, we must progress with the times or be left behind; thus, we have made difficult but necessary changes.

Before, with our previous games, we were able to share more tidbits and behind-the-scenes news for the progress of the game. We had a regular rhythm to our game-making process, so we could anticipate what would not change and remain true once the game came out and matched the readers' expectations. With all the changes and updates for our next game, we cannot anticipate what will stay the same and what will change along the way. The last thing we want to be is untruthful with our player's expectations. (An example would be the anticipated release date, which originally changed after all.) Until we have more solid news to share on MID, we do not want to share things that could change later, as we are still learning a new process. Thank you for being understanding, and for being a fan of Nancy Drew. We hope to share more news with everyone in the future, even little things.

Again, thank you for voicing your concerns. We appreciate your loyalty and hope you continue to play and enjoy Nancy Drew games in the future!

Sincerely,

-Customer Service HER INTERACTIVE // Dare to Play®"
