About This Must Stay Hidden

This Must Stay Hidden is a narrative visual novel from Dyuka Games, built in Ren'Py. You play as Teo, a student whose quiet life is disrupted by surprising truths about his family. Those revelations lead him into difficult choices, new relationships, and intense emotions such as excitement, tension, and passion. The presentation uses 3D CGI artwork and animated scenes, while each update expands the story with more characters and scenes.

The current release is v0.5, dated August 14, 2026, and the project remains in active development through updates. It supports Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, with English text and no censorship. The latest changelog entry says v0.5 added 300 new renders and 12 new animations, continuing the game's focus on expanding scenes and animated visuals.

Changelog

v0.5 This update includes 300 new renders and 12 new animations. v0.4 This update includes 265 new renders and 9 new animations. v0.3 This update includes 240 new renders and 5 new animations. v0.2 Along with fresh content, I also remade a few early scenes — keeping the story and dialogues intact. Those renders were made when I had just started working on the game, so their quality was noticeably lower. I decided to redo them. In total, around 110–120 renders were replaced with new ones. Here’s what was redone: — Teo drinks with his father and Lina arrives — Riz hugs Marta — Conversation with neighbour Mirela v0.15 - 640 renders - 13 animations
