The Secret Files are once again not a secret. Or this particular section of the files is not a secret. Or they’ve been opened again, hence how are they still a secret? Regardless, Secret Files 3 is the next instalment in the German PC point and click adventure series.
To make things simple, here’s the basic outline: “Adventuress Nina is looking forward to her wedding with her fiancé Max Gruber when a SWAT team suddenly bursts into their apartment and kidnaps him. The authorities have no knowledge of the operation – so who is responsible?
“While searching for Max, Nina keeps encountering the number Pi. She uncovers an ancient secret whose tracks lead from Archimedes to Leonardo da Vinci right up to the present day and CERN in Switzerland. Will Nina find Max there?”
Certainly a lot of mystery to be had and if CERN is involved (for all those who watch Steins;Gate), it can’t be good news. Fortunately, there are 4 possible endings, so chances are Nina and Max are happy in one of them.
Even more interestingly, developer Animation Arts took the help of three screenwriters for the story and dialog. The game is now available for £29.99 on Steam.
