Dead Secret is a first-person horror mystery where you investigate a professor's suspicious death in 1965 rural Kansas. You're a journalist working against the clock to solve the case before the killer finds you. Exploration centers on searching rooms for clues—letters, objects, photographs—that gradually reveal what happened. Characters you encounter know fragments of the story, and conversations help connect the dots. The setting sticks to a handful of locations you'll comb through carefully rather than sprawling environments. Tension builds from the premise that someone doesn't want this solved, though the focus stays on detective work over action. It's designed for players who like methodical puzzle-solving and don't mind a slower pace in exchange for atmosphere.
