Bonus content for Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Seven Keys (KEY)!
Fun Facts:
- I, Calina Herman, was part of the early development and design meetings. I created the first logic map (visual flowchart) for the initial game story. While I did not contribute any story elements or designs, I did help ensure the game brand was considered in all areas before I left the company.
- HeR Interactive team members and their extended family members have names mentioned (written on visual elements) in the game, but to maintain some privacy, will not point them out.
- The cat’s name, Marias, is the same name of the card game that the Dean plays.
