The Secret: Ghosted & Thrilled is an adult Ren'Py visual novel by Aorrta, presented with 3DCG artwork. You play as a male protagonist dealing with the fallout of his father’s death. After the father passes, Mary takes control of the business, and the narrator only knows that they now have plenty of money and are flying on a private plane to new quarters. The setup focuses on romance, cheating, and mature woman themes while the protagonist tries to understand what Mary really does.
Development is ongoing with the current build, v0.4.9.5.2, released September 20, 2024. It is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android in English, with no censorship. The latest update adds a special story rather than continuing the main game, and it simplifies the name by dropping Reloaded so the title is just The Secret. Earlier notes also mention content fixes and a reduced file size, but the newest change is the standalone story and title shift.

The Graphics are there and so is the gameplay, but the content is where this game is lacking. The secret has been remade multiple times over the years and the story and relationships keep changing. There seems no end to…
