About the Game

Please Read!! from the Developer

The Secret Story is being developed into an episodic horror franchise, telling its story through multiple chapters, events, and connected experiences that will gradually expand into a new universe for The Secret Story.

The current version of this game is The Secret Story Classic, the original first version of the project. It was initially developed as a standalone first entry, but after we changed the direction of the series, we decided to expand The Secret Story into an episodic horror franchise instead.

The next title in the franchise is The Secret Story: Archive 1996, which aims to improve the visual presentation, atmosphere, story, and overall gameplay experience, making it more accessible, engaging, and enjoyable. The story will also support 3 languages: English, Thai, and Chinese.

If you enjoy the atmosphere, story, and new direction of this franchise, you can support us by wishlisting our upcoming title.

At first glance, the hotel appears clean, peaceful, and completely harmless. But as time passes, you begin to sense that something is wrong. Something that should not be there. Something connected to hidden beliefs, forgotten memories, and stories buried deep within the hotel.

Explore the hotel, face unexplained events, and uncover why an ordinary young man has become involved in these disturbing mysteries.
