Secrets is an adult visual novel by Elun Games, built in Ren'Py and presented with 3DCG art. You play a broke male protagonist who has lost his easy life after a dishonest scheme leaves him waiting to be thrown out of a small apartment. A lawyer calls to say his uncle, Paul Walden, has died and left him a large inheritance, but he has no idea who this relative was. He decides to impersonate the expected nephew and change his luck. The story mixes humor, romance, and a male point of view.
The current build is Episode 3 version 4.1, dated September 2, 2023. It is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, with English, French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish language options. The game is uncensored. Episode 3 version 4.0 added a silent animated Elun Games logo and Spanish and French support, changed text images for easier translation, moved the 2019 Christmas episode with Julia to The Book of Secrets page, updated the credits, kept the gallery available, disabled the vault for now, let cards be found in game images with notifications, and added a skip button for opening credit movies.
Developer's description
Luck… that’s a thing you have heard before but never met. Life has never been easy on you, and you are now alone broke. Really broke... So, you made others bad choices, tried your luck in some dishonest affair, but you forgot luck was never on your side.
You missed jail, thank to the judge’s pity, and are now alone again in your small apartment you can’t afford anymore, waiting to be ejected by the landlord.
Your phone is ringing… a lawyer… she tells you your uncle, Paul Walden, just died and put you on his will. An inheritance? Is there money? Yes, and a lot! Do you become suddenly lucky? No, because you have absolutely no idea who uncle Paul is?!
But you have nothing to lose. It’s time to change your life. You’re not the guy who is expected but never mind, you will be this guy… you will try to be this nephew…
