The Award-winning adventure Quote I really enjoyed this visual novel game. It had great artwork, was well written and had a very deep story. The game features a ton of content and on top of the standard visual novel dialogue style gameplay there are also multiple puzzle/minigames to playthrough as well! Rating: 8.5/10 – XBL Indie Spotlight Quote The cinematics presentation of the game is very strong, characters are likeable and relatable with their quirkiness, it's a game with a lot of thoughts put behind the story. – Altabestudio Quote Entertaining, interactive story, very likeable and a bit quirky heroes. – DGoZ Synopsis: You and your friends suddenly discover strange mental abilities. A girl with pink hair seems to be behind it. Join your friends on an epic quest to reveal the "last secret", discover the truth about the world and save your life and the whole earth... Epic and light-hearted story with lots of puzzles (that mostly can be skipped if you're not into it), the chance for romance (also optional) and 8 good endings. Main characters: Four of the heroes of the game: Karina, Anna, Honghong und Meilin: Time to introduce the case of The Last Secret in a bit more details... Here we go! Let's start with your childhood friend, Meilin... The second of the main cast: kind and smart Honghong... Here comes Karina: the sweet and nerdy math girl with a love for strange hoodies... Not one of your high school friends, but instead an international music star: Ben Benjamin... Where will you manage to meet him? And finally, the mysterious girl with pink hair... Is she behind all these strange events happening? And *what* is she? Game play: The Last Secret is a visual novel with a complex story and lots of mini games and puzzles. You can play as female or male protagonist. Activating the "rainbow mode" allows you to get close to same-gender characters. If you're only into story and romance, you can always skip the puzzles (just ask your smart friends like Karina to do it for you). If you're only into story and puzzles, you can skip the romantic part and enjoy the game nevertheless. (If you're not into story - why are you on this forum???) Here's one of the puzzles the heroes have to solve on their way: connect lights of the same color along the lines, but no lights of different colors! Fun in the sun (you wouldn't guess where this is): A pic from one of the romantic endings of the game: Opening songs (in English and Chinese) and trailer on the Youtube channel: Karina's math dream (in English): Content: Interesting and rich story line with many hours of game play 8 good endings, numerous bad ones Playable as male and female, you can chose to date different gender or same gender characters. Tons of nice background graphics, simple but cute character design (300+ images) Full original soundtrack, including several songs with vocals (in English or Chinese with subtitles) plus a few songs from Lemmino Many puzzles to be solved on the way, none of those similar to the others German, English, Spanish and Chinese version available, more languages to come with (and after) the final release Player comments: “Fantastic and deeply moving story” – Lan "Good story and great characters - a fun game for everyone." – Heijko "Great puzzles" – Thomas, software engineer "Beautiful graphics" – Lea "What is more mysterious? The great story or the game of Go? Well ... try it out!" – Rainer, programmer and Go player "Excellently written SF Visual Novel with entertaining puzzles and minigames." – XH, anime fan Conclusions: Okay, enough of a hook: you will now best whether you like it! Try out the game - since if you don't, Meilin will be pretty angry with you: (And she can be scary, you know!) Download: The game can be downloaded for Windows, OSX and Linux on itch.io - for free, but if you are a bit more patient: the full release will be on 31 August 2022! Here you can wishlist already on Steam:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1965 ... st_Secret/ More infos, also in other languages, here:https://the-last-secret.mozellosite.com/home/ If you like to provide feedback and ideas or want to review the game or play it on Twitch: please contact me!
