If it is legit, I question the marketing decision to release the news on April Fools' Day. Especially when they don't have the most stellar reputation with their fans at the moment.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up once again, but like you said, there is some evidence that it might be real... :anxious:

The Reddit community is speculating that it might be based on a Nancy Drew book called "April Fool's Day," which has a tech-related plot. Her Interactive has also cleared all the posts off their Instagram except for this one, so it does seem like it could be broader in scope than just a prank. Maybe?

This seems somewhat more legit than I initially gave it credit for. :mad:

The way they're promoting this game is actually quite clever. They've been releasing puzzle teasers on their social media, which is definitely rallying all the fans together. I don't know what to expect, and with the original team long gone, I doubt we'll ever get another game that feels like the traditional ones. But that hasn't stopped my hopes from getting unreasonably high! \:D/

Hey look, this actually turned out to be a thing. :o They officially announced the title for the next game!
