Dead Secret Circle

La suite de Dead Secret, fait bien flipper dont l'ambiance est prenante. Le point positif c'est que j'ai pu reussir a finir cette suite hors que dans le premier, je n'ai pas su le finir a cause du coffre buger. Il a quelque bug dont le déplacement du personnage se block a chaque fois et les son du jeu se coupent pendant un moment, qui du coup faudra redémarrer le jeu pour pouvoir avancer. Dommage qu'il n'est pas en français, car la fin du jeu je ne l'ai pas compris du tout X). Je vous le conseil pour celles et ceux qui veulent le découvrir ;).

not real vr game the turning is badly done dont buy that trash and movement is bad as well

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!

Dead Secret Circle is the sequel to just Dead Secret, a first person horror/thriller adventure made primarily for VR, but also playable with mouse and keyboard. Like before, I played this one without VR. This time, the game has full free movement, though you can tell it's designed for VR by how slow and gliding the movement is. You again assume the role of reporter Patricia, who is on the edge of a breakdown after her previous adventure, investigating a series of murders surrounding a dilapidated apartment building. There are people around to interview, and again many documents to find in order to find out the killer's identity. It's a spooky game without getting too scary, with a few small pop scares. The voice acting and puzzles are more refined than the first game. I did think the conclusion was very abrupt and not very satisfying. I should also note that the game is quite buggy, which I think might be a result of first making the game for VR and then retroactively putting in free movement. There's objects popping in and out of existence, textures turning into black squares, I got stuck between a wall and door at one point, and at several moments the game would either stick on a black screen or just not proceed to load the next part. Thankfully, the game autosaves your progress and location pretty accurately, so exiting out of the game and going back in lets you proceed without loss of progress.

Its a decent game, unfortunately it is impossible to complete on the HTC Vive. There are 2 primary problems when played on the vive. 1. The mask doesn't work - at all. Not once. You put it and and it reveals nothing, ever. This makes one or two puzzles annoying, but you can trial and error them of look up a youtube guide to pass them. Not a deal breaker imo. 2. There is a segment where you return to your apartment and events there lead you to picking up a pack of matches which you take with you on your next investigation. You absolutely need these to light something on a future puzzle. When played on the vive, the segment where you return and get the matches NEVER HAPPENS! It literally just skips the end of the day and starts you off on the next investigation without them. I had to restart on the 2d version, get back to where I was WITH the matches, and then switch off back to my vive. Honestly the game isn't that special, but VR has a lack of story-driven games, so I still recommend this. If you want to play in vr, you WILL have to switch off to the 2d version for 1 or 2 parts or the game will soft lock you. I suggest keeping backups of save files after each mission completion. At least that way you won't have to restart from the very beginning.

So much fun playing this game. I thought the controls were better in the sequel than in the first. I played the first in VR and the second on PC. The characters, the story, and the fear! I think I may have just been so into what I was doing in the game the occasional sounds or running into other characters just scared the crap out of me. It even had "mini games" scattered around the game, word or number puzzles. Play the first one and then the second one, I would absolutely love to see a third game to this series. Great job!!!!! Here is the first video to my play through of it: https://youtu.be/XVJtPvJBIis

I'm a big fan of the original, but this aint it chief. It's sad too because I was very excited that there was a sequel. The pacing is so slow. I rain into a lot of glitches. I'd have to start all the way over if I wanted to finish it so I'll just skip it.

Haunting. It's a good follow-up to the original game. I love this universe so damn much. (And yes, I did finish this game in 7 hours, if that's a factor for you. I didn't 100% it but I came close. Still worth the price, if you ask me, especially if you liked the first one.) It runs a little janky and I had to force quit a couple of times when it didn't load correctly, but nothing permanently game ruining.
