The Amelia Darnell mystery game series was created by members of the Nancy Drew game community who were tired of waiting for a new Nancy Drew game to release. This page features information on Amelia Darnell: Secrets of Silvercrest Village and Airtight Alibi Productions!

Let's Make Our Own Game

HeR Interactive was known for creating 2-3 high quality PC games every year. However, HeR had a massive employee layoff in 2015 which threw a huge wrench into the company's development cycle. A large portion of the development team was fired and Nancy Drew game fans didn't see another PC/Mac game until December 2019. During this time, a small group of fans decided that they wanted a game bad enough to the point where they were willing to make their own. And that's just what they set out to do! In late 2017, Airtight Alibi Productions, LLC was formed and production began on a small tech demo that proved the company could make a functioning game.

Indiegogo

The tech demo was completed for the launch of the game's Indiegogo campaign which Airtight Alibi used to raise funds in order to begin production on the full game. When players completed the demo, they were greeted with a familiar voice. Lani Minella, the previous voice of Nancy Drew, joined the team to lend her talent to Amelia Darnell. Since this game was being made for Nancy Drew fans, the team received tons of support not only because Minella was cast, but also because the game was going to be created in the 2D style of the first 32 Nancy Drew games.

Demo Launch and Gameplay

I had the amazing opportunity to join the team as a 2D artist back in 2018 and helped make some art for the tech demo. You can download the demo for PC and Mac here:

Current Development Status

At this time, the Airtight Alibi team has finished the script. The art team is working to ensure that the art is completed in a timely manner. The social media team releases regular updates about the game's development and has unveiled some of the amazing work that has been completed for the game. Below are some early renders of the Town Square location. Even though they are unfinished, they still give a good glimpse into what the game will look like and how much work has gone into ensuring a detailed and immersive experience.
