Dead Secret

This is a great game!

Besser als erwartet!

I have picked this up on sale for 5,99€. I have finished the game, found all except for 3 documents and read them, achieved all 5 endings, and clocked in at 118 minutes, which means I could technically still refund it. Make of that what you will. I have played this on PC with keyboard on mouse, so maybe it's my fault for not playing it in VR, but the controls are very fiddly, and sometimes outright annoying (had to start one puzzle over again a few times because I clicked a few pixels off the object and it would always kick me out and reset). I've also spent some time trying to figure out where the clickable points are on the screen, but maybe I'm just dumb and missed an option (such as a highlighter) for it. The puzzles are a bit on the easy side generally, and shouldn't give anyone too much trouble. Ultimately, it's closer to a slightly interactive walking simulator than a full fledged point and click adventure game. If you can pick it up cheap or pick it up as part of a bundle, and generally enjoy this type of game, you can give it a shot. Otherwise, there's just not enough here.

A decent old fashioned adventure. Takes a couple of hours to beat. My one complaint is the crawling walking speed of the character.

Really liked it, might replay it for completionist purposes.

ну интересно, интересно. своих денег стоит, классно

It's not really that I outright dislike the game, but I still wouldn't recommend it to many. It's mostly serviceable and I can see the broad strokes that the writing is going for, but the narrative gets a bit stilted and it just doesn't land for me with its finer details. I'm not above suspending some disbelief as I immerse myself into a story, but I couldn't stay in as much as I'd have liked with a couple of its comical leaps. So with the main aspect of the game being "meh," the only things left to try and interest me was the gathering and reading of notes, which are hampered by the aforementioned disinterest in the narrative, and a handful of decent puzzles strewn across a little farm house. If you're hard up for any murder mystery, it's far from the worst, but I have a hard time imagining that $15 for this is competitive to a lot out there even for the time.
