If you're looking to play this with a Quest 2 in VR you are better to get this title outside of Steam. The SteamVR version has issues. The first game was a great VR mystery with a solid story and a little bit of horror. Plus I always love games with multiple endings. Makes you feel your choices have some impact. This one was definitely a step up besides the incredibly slow movement. However the SteamVR version is broken, at least playing with a Quest 2. I didn't even realise until over 6 hours in that my ideofocul goggles were not showing me what they were supposed to. The sound and visuals change just like the first game but you don't see the hidden visuals. Somehow I managed up until close to the end without all the extra fun stuff I should have been seeing. I just assumed at some point I would need the goggles and often spent the time to put them on, which was annoying on Quest 2 because it required going into the inventory each time. Finally I reached a point where to progress further in VR was not possible. I had to load up the game without VR, do the puzzle, and then go back to VR. And in that same area there was another puzzle that to solve you need to have the ideofocul goggles working. Watched a YouTube video for the answer. All that aside I did enjoy the VR experience. I just feel I missed out on a lot without the goggles working properly. I did get it on a great sale so it was definitely worth the price.

Shocking!!!I got the bundle including the first dead secret. Dead scret worked on VR, circle didn.t. It loads me into a lift and I'm stuck in a wall, can't move. I have tried resetting my set up, all drivers/updates, nothing. DON'T BOTHER BUYING DEAD SECRET CIRCLE AS IT IS GLITCHY AND IN MY CASE THE GAME WOULDN'T EVEN START, THEY WON'T REFUND.
I will say first, I really hope they make a third. I enjoyed the first Dead Secret, and this was a step up. It lasted a little longer than the first, the first took me 2 days to complete and this one three days. I liked that you interacted with other people than just wandering around by yourself. Questioning people was fun, I just wish you had more options to choose what to say or ask. Certainly creepier than the first, and more jump scares and having to run and hide from the bad guy, but without over doing it. Some questions that were brought up in the game were left unsolved, so that was a bummer but didn't ruin the game by any means. Really, really enjoyed it and I hope they keep making more!
Don't get me wrong, I loved the first hour that the game let me get through, but then I encountered a game breaking glitch that prevented me from going forward. The pacing was decent, and I liked the first game too. But....if you're going to put out a game, don't leave it so damn broken. Especially when you're not Bethesda, because at least bugs fit their track record. I'm incredibly disappointed in how broken the game is.
A good sequel to "Dead Secret". Dead Secret should be played first to get the most out of this game.
Do not play this game! ESPECIALLY ON THE INDEX!!!! This game was unwinnable on the Index. The mask that reveals things did not reveal anything. There is one puzzle that relies entirely on this mask to solve it and so I had to cheat to look up the solution. Also, the controls on the Index knuckles were atrocious. The snap-turn button was, for some infuriating reason, also the interact/exit-menu button so yet another puzzle was unsolvable as it required you to "swipe left or right to rotate the pieces". Unfortunately, as soon as the piece rotates, you are kicked out of the menu. I had to boot the game in desktop mode just to solve that particular puzzle. Even if I don't consider the horrible control scheme (it wasn't built for Index, fair enough), the game was not as good as the first Dead Secret. The puzzles were not as fun or challenging (and sometimes impossible in my particular case), the story was not as interesting, and the mystery was not as engaging. The addition of other talking characters was a neat evolution of the game, but did not save it from being terrible. A big disappointment and waste of time and money. I'm fairly certain I bought this game on sale and got it relatively cheap and yet I still wish I could get a refund. Unfortunately it would be hard to argue for that after playing and beating it after 6 hours of game play. DO NOT MAKE MY SAME MISTAKE. PLAY THE ORIGINAL DEAD SECRET AND NOT THIS ONE!
+good atmosphere and story -bugs and crashes -slow walking
Better than the first one. Good story flow with out too much excessive reading.
If you enjoyed the original Dead Secret, you'll enjoy Dead Secret Circle! Returning characters, unsettling setting, more fleshed out story aspects, it's more of what you love!
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.
