Прекрасная игра для своего года, но мне не понравилось проходить её сейчас. Я люблю поинт энд клик, но в данном конкретном случае он вышел очень утомляющим, потому как передвижение осуществляется через клик, а сопровождается, соответственно, анимацией ходьбы, которая в какой-то момент надоедает. История пестрит событиями и в целом вышла интересная, но чтобы понять ее, нужно прочесть все что валяется в доме, а это, во-первых: много записок и газет, во-вторых: текста будут временами очень длинные и без русского вы просто перехотите все это читать, все же сказывается эффект прохождения на иностранном. В итоге, как сложилось все для меня - долгое хождение+долгое чтение(мы же еще переводим в процессе, а это как-никак уже другое кол-во времени на каждую записку) создали впечатление затянутой бродилки с крупинкой головоломок. Если любите спокойно походить, поизучать и почитать кучу записок - пожалуйста, вам это подходит. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3360246115 Добавлю: 1) в VR скорее всего играть в нее интернеснее. 2) по фулл прайсу не советую, лучше на жирненькой скидке брать
This is a pretty straightforward murder mystery adventure game, but it has some fun 'scares' that might make you classify this as horror or thriller. The walking mechanic is non-existent, like old-school adventure games where you click the 'edge' of a scene to move in that direction... that makes some of the 'scare' scenes extra tense because you don't get to mash a RUN button! The puzzles were simple and fun, and I say this as someone who does not like complex puzzle games. I hate having to check a guide for every unintuitive step, and I did not need a guide for this one. The masks were used marvelously, the scariest one for the most helpful character kept a nice, creepy vibe throughout the game. I had just gotten a really gnarly painting of a monster face set up beside my computer, and I keep seeing it out of the corner of my eye while playing. This game helped to convince me I needed to install it somewhere else. Aha! Get the game if you want to experience a short (2-3) hour spooky tale.

best VR game that i've tried. very spooky and immersive and unique. it made me think "oh, so VR isn't just a gimmick." there should be more games like this.
Dead Secret é um jogo de mistério com elementos de terror no qual o jogador controla uma repórter investigando o possível assassinato de um recluso professor. O jogo claramente foi feito para ser jogado com um headset VR, com uma interface bem minimalista e até um pouco não convencional, e considerando o ano que ele saiu e as reviews da crítica na época assumo que ele fez certo sucesso quando saiu. Por mais que pareça mesmo que a experiência seria melhor se eu tivesse jogado ele em VR, a conversão para desktop acaba transformando esse jogo em um point-and-click 3D, com você clicando para se mover pelo cenário e interagir com objetos. A história aqui é um "whodunnit", com o jogador lendo as dúzias de notas, páginas de diário e cartas espalhadas pelo cenário para entender o que está ocorrendo e apontar quem foi o assassino. Eu me surpreendi que o jogo implementou alguns elementos de survival horror, especialmente inspirados em Clock Tower, que por mais que sejam simples e leves ajudam na atmosfera aqui. Eu comecei achando a história bem simplista, e por mais que nunca se torne algo extremamente complexo, você acaba descobrindo elementos da história que tornam fatos apresentados antes mais interessantes em retrospectiva. Eu recomendo Dead Secret pra quem quer um point-and-click de mistério e com leves elementos de terror pra jogar em uma sessão só, ele pode ser encerrado com todos seus finais em torno de 3 horas - e especialmente para quem tem um headset VR, por mais que imagino que ele seja bem antiquado para os padrões de jogos de realidade virtual atuais, ainda assim me parece uma experiência divertida e imersiva para jogar usando ele.
Interesting point-and-click murder mystery with some spooky elements. Not bad.
A decent detective mystery that is easy for beginners. A game mechanic that means you can never be stuck spoils the mystery of it a little but it is still worth playing, graphics are dated now but you soon disregard these. 6/10
It is a bit annoying that you can not change much of the settings, but overall its a good game with an interesting story. About 3 hours for a full playthrough.
Dead Secret is a first-person investigation game where you explore a quiet, creepy house to uncover the truth behind a mysterious death. There’s no combat, just slow exploration, note-reading, and piecing together what happened. It really shines through its atmosphere. The pacing is calm but tense, the environment tells most of the story, and the sense of unease builds naturally as you dig deeper. It’s a great experience if you enjoy narrative mysteries and subtle horror, where curiosity and observation matter more than reflexes or action.
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.
really liked this game. tricky and investigative, with plenty of jumpscares and some chase scenes. similar to Painscreek Killings, but a bit shorter. definitely recommend!
