update details
Our Secret Below immediately immerses the gamer into an intense atmosphere from its opening frame. Nia, an innocent girl in barefooted sneakers who finds herself trapped inside of an extremely cramped room where her hand are restrained with metal chains is completely bewildered and horrified to discover she is chained up despite calling out for assistance; all that appears as possible help comes in form of thin shorthaired guy muttering something about not being fooled and having no choice before leaving and locking the door shut on his captive behind!
If the character keeps calm and examines each scrap carefully, they might discover an old note written by another victim of this madcap kidnapper. At first it may seem hopeless; yet one girl has managed to flee the room; leaving behind wire cutters behind a stone so the main character may use these to cut away her wrist chain and the lock handles of her small room door. In the following room there is already much more space and objects haphazardly scattered about. Keys, audio cassettes, journals containing recordings and boxes containing secrets - these essential objects for passage are hidden away in cabinet drawers or paintings or dark corners in the basement - crucially important elements in furthering the plot as they reveal what exactly is taking place here in this terrifying location. They must all be located and collected if plot advancement is to continue and unravel it properly.
At times during their exploration of a locked room, video clips relating to Nya's memories or hallucinations will interrupt. Our Secret Below features three possible endings depending on which order objects are found; thus revealing not who she thinks they are but instead an entirely unexpected side to him (our main character!). Likewise, she learns she must face her fears while confronting another threat altogether!
