Dead Secret Circle

I have to say, I enjoyed this one. I loved the references to Sherlock Holmes, Alfred Hitchcock, Resident Evil and I think there was a sneaky Lovecraft reference in one of the magazines. I completed all the magazines I only missed 1 of each of the book collections so I didn't get 100% achievements unfortunately on the first playthrough, I liked it so much I think I'll just play on my own time to 100% complete the game. Nice twist at the end, I really got into this story more than the first. The walking was a little wonky sometimes where I got caught up on some things in the environment but I did like freely walking as opposed to point and click movements in Dead Secret. A little confused about the relationship between the main character and the one person she actually knew from the first game. Nice twist at the end.

An FPP thriller set in 1970s Chicago, in a bleak tenement building in winter, with a murder-mystery investigation and optional VR mode — that’s the perfect game for me.

[h1]I couldn't finish this game because of a slew of technical problems[/h1] First, sometimes when you examine something, instead of the normal descriptive text something disturbing will pop up, e.g. "I sold my soul for fame." Every time this happens, the game freezes and I have to restart it. Second, I am playing on a Valve Index. I found that with the Index controls, it's impossible to reassemble the image you find in Hubert's/Harriet's apartment. Any time I push any button, it drops me back to the menu as soon as I release it. I had to relaunch the game in flatscreen mode to put that thing together. Third, I have seen in walkthroughs of this game that wearing the ideofocal lenses is supposed to show hidden messages and other spooky things. For me it shows nothing - just a photo negative version of the surrounding area. This, too, makes some puzzles impossible unless you play in flatscreen mode, brute force, or look up the answer. Last and worst, I also encountered an issue where, apparently, I needed to retrieve matches from my apartment to advance the story and was unable to do so. This game doesn't support multiple save files either, so to fix this I'd have to start over from the beginning.

I loved Dead Secret, I love Dead Secret Circle. I really hope there's a third game, but if not, they did a phenomenal job with the series. I recommend to my friends. :)

liked the story line, disliked wasd, and mouse control to move around/ view items.

+good atmosphere and story -bugs and crashes -slow walking

A good sequel to "Dead Secret". Dead Secret should be played first to get the most out of this game.

Too many glitches in dream sequence whwre you get killed if your controls do not respond quickly enough.

I played the first in VR and loved it. I was having a great time with this one until I realised that in VR there is a serious bug with the in-game goggles. It's unfortunate, but there is only one point in the game where they are truly necessary, so I just continued playing in VR. Even with that bug it is still a great game in VR, and my partner is enjoying the 2D version just as much.
