About Secrets of the Family

Secrets of the Family is a Ren'Py visual novel by Stiffman Productions, presented with 3DCG art and a sandbox-style structure. You play as Rayne, a female protagonist whose story follows Angela as they move between cities to escape Angela's past. Angela hopes that living close to family will bring safety, while Rayne must face what she discovers about Angela and decide whether to stop running. The game blends lesbian romance with exploration.

The current build is v2.8.9, released on September 22, 2025, and development is still ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The latest update focused on backend work, making the quest system functional while more quests still need to be added. The gallery was streamlined, now supports videos, and images were upgraded from 720p to 1080p or 2K using AI. The update also reduced some smaller errors and added a new feature.

Developer's description

"Hi... My name is Angela..." Angela and Rayne have been moving from city to city, trying to escape Angela's past. Angela moves close to her family, where she can feel a little safer and maybe not have to worry about her past catching up with her, or maybe not? This is Rayne's story, about running, triumphs, and failures. Will she accept what she finds out about Angela, or will she just keep going and running from the past?​

Changelog

v2.8.9 updated so much with the backend of the game. The quest system is complete working and done so far. It needs to be finalized and the rest of the current quests need to be put in. The gallery has been updated as well, not such a long process anymore, and that will be maintained in a better fashion. It can also now accept videos within the gallery. I am still making the videos that go inside the game for stage 1 and also the beginning of stage 2. Images have all be refined for more clarity. Upgraded from 720p to 1080p or even 2K - using AI of course. Certain smaller errors have been streamlines as well. I did not get to the error on the what'schat icon yet. That will be fixed once I get that part of the story in place. I have also added a new feature where you no longer have to listen to a 1 minute clip of the same music all the time. On the top right, you shall see a music symbol. Select the song (Out of 8) and that song plays - no matter where you are in the game, or scene. It will repeat until you change it again. (It's me playing the piano as well... so enjoy) a new UI system will be in place next. I want to tidy up the side nav where you can see where the characters are. My idea is to make it available, or not with a click of a button. Also change the way it states some things, like sleeping2, etc. I have almost completed all the renders for the boxing scenes, and the mini game for it will be available next update as well. I was also thinking of doing a cooking game for stage 1 (It counts for stage 1 anyways), the shooting game where Angela will show you how to shoot a gun, and also a photo shoot area, where you choose the character, and do a shoot. That one is much later. Lana's story starts Stage 3 - but in Stage 2.9, her story will begin a series of events for Angela and Rayne. v2.8.6 It's been a long time coming, if you don't follow me on any other platform. I have updated the game to version 2.8.6 with some major additions to the story and to the characters in the game. Make sure to check this out and give feedback! Multiple things have been placed in the game, and it is best to have to start over from the beginning, as most of the other issues have been fixed and the code has been streamlined. Any of the old saves will not work and will break the game. v0.2.7 Beta 1. Changed placements of characters and icons on map to be able to be seen only on stage 2. 2. Fixed button on clickbait game that kept showing up after clicking never play game. 3. Fixed random Brynn placement during stage 1. She should not be seen until stage 2. 4. Fixed the errors associated with the gallery missing images 5. Fixed a few errors with a known issue with webcam4 variable 6. Fixed the ending to webcam series, so that it would match meeting Mari in the park 7. Fixed the errors associated with the arcade series, which now goes into 2.8 update 8. Re-did the pathway for Mari's events to come for 2.8 after the webcam series 9. Added Sinead's name to the roster for detention scene 10. Re-did Library actions for Brynn for a better flow 11. Ended Showering scenes with Brynn 12. Fixed Soft-lock with Flora and Brynn action in Library 13. Detention series updated to not let Rayne outside until the Flora event is completed. 14. Did some post work on a few images I saw that were not perfect. 15. Current amount of percentage is now on-point to what I have written. v0.2.6BR2 -Lots of bugfixes STAGE ONE: Navigation System for inside the home at stage 1 - will have more after this beta release Minigames including the clickbait game - these can be skipped Difficulty Levels A tutorial... Lots of work went into this Quests to complete (Working on a quest system and log) Multi-Protagonists after stage 1. Some animations About 4 hours of playtime (Each stage will increase the overall gameplay time) VERSION 0.1.1 - STAGE ONE pt2 There's a lot here - so, if you want to read, then thumbs up! Fixed triggers. during the game that never would happen before. Added a VERY EASY button for those who don't want repeats constantly Fixed Mini Game so that it actually stops the repeat mode in most cases Fixed the Changing Clothes Mini - It works better and does not repeat in the same frame Added more scenes and dialog to the game to make the story make more sense at this stage. Fixed an error when doing dishes after being in a few areas of the home. Added a quest log - and more quests Added a progress percentage to the game - fixed the counting errors Added a cheat button for those who wish to cheat... Fixed the photo quests so that they happen in order instead of being all over And so on... At regular play, this is about 6 hours or more of play in stage one.

review v2.8.9 This game is like trying to start an old car in winter. There are moments when it seems like it's going to start, but it doesn't... it just stalls, and you're left standing there doing nothing until you…

The game's story is quite good...perhaps one of the best. The story is not a slow burn and the characters do move the story along The execution is still quite buggy. Events repeat themselves and frequently I was at a…

Every time I see that daughter model reused, I cringe with maximum uncanny valley. I don't know what's wrong with her face, but it's not human. As for the game, even on the easiest mode, the grinding is insane, and…
