Dead Secret Circle

Dead Secret Circle is a horror mystery game set in 1971 Chicago and a sequel to Dead Secret. Five years after the events of the first game, Patricia Gable’s investigation of a serial killer takes her to a condemned apartment building in East Chicago. Its residents are people living on the margins of society, too poor or too stubborn to leave, and each has something to hide. Patricia also feels strangely as though she has been there before.

Investigate the building

You explore the building in first person, searching its rooms for clues, items and documents. Meet seven suspects and delve into their lives to identify the killer and uncover the truth. Branching dialogue paths let you pursue different conversations, and the game has multiple endings.

Evade the Laughing Man

The Laughing Man is a straight-razor-wielding serial killer with a sinister laugh. You can run and hide from him, but you cannot fight; your only weapon is your wits. The game builds psychological horror around the uncertainty of what is really happening.

Solve puzzles

Collect items, review clues and solve adventure-style puzzles to unlock the building’s secrets. The game also includes a large collection of hidden items and documents.

Remastered presentation

The remastered game has rewritten shaders, reworked characters and scenes relit for modern PCs. Its original soundtrack is by Ben Prunty.
