Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Secret Files is a series of Adventure Games developed by Fusionsphere Systems and published by Deep Silver, the video game department of the Koch Media group based in Germany. There are three games in the series.The first game, Secret Files: Tunguska (named after the explosion caused in 1908 in Siberia) starts on March 27, 2006, with Nina Kalkenkov, an average Russian woman, visiting her father, Vladimir, at his office in a Berlin museum only to find him missing and his office a wreck. The police being singularly unhelpful, she tackles the problem herself, aided by one of her father's co-workers, and later boyfriend, Max Gruber. The two uncover an investigation he undertook to Tunguska in the 1950's, as well as a world domination scheme that's also interested in the same investigation.The second game, Puritas Cortis, taking place shortly after the first, begins with several members of the Catholic church, a vicar and then a bishop, being attacked and murdered over a strange parchment found while the vicar's church was undergoing renovation, referring to a prophet named Zandona, known for his gloom-and-doom prophecies. Meanwhile, Nina and Max have split up. Nina is taking a cruise to relax, while Max is headed to Indonesia to visit a former classmate, Sam Peters, at her dig site where she's uncovered an ancient temple. Both of them end up involved in thwarting an Ancient Conspiracy and their plan to create natural disasters to manipulate Zandona's prophecies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The third game is simply titled Secret Files 3. Nina and Max have gotten back together, and are planning to be married. However, before this happens, Max is taken by the police under charges of suspected terrorism. As it turns out, these men are not the actual police, and Nina finds herself embroiled in a plot to save him, and the world, yet again.The game's approach resolves around solving puzzles and combining items to achieve the desired results. One may have a puzzle, like a very large, multi-colored symbol one must determine the smaller symbols that make it up, and can tell by changing the color of a lamp by tinting it with other inventory objects, as well as different puzzles and riddles to solve. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Nina only changes her clothes twice in the first game, Max never changes them at all. He goes all the way from Germany to Ireland and doesn't change them. At least in the second and third games, he gets kidnapped and has an excuse not to change them. In the second game, Nina and David change their clothes after escaping the ship, and then are kidnapped or killed. She only changes her clothes once in the third game, and treks across the world. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Secret Files (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: For a series that tries to make sure you never get into an unwinnable situation, the sequels have at least one nasty bug involving vital items that will stonewall you, should you be unfortunate enough to encounter it: In 2: Puritas Cordis, make sure you show the laundry bell to Feng Li while you're onboard the Calypso before you stick it onto a wall. Because once you stick the bell onto that wall, it's impossible to take it off. In 3, if you combine the hammer with the chain while you're in Turkey before using the former to crush some red earth, you won't be able to feed the red earth into a pressure gun, which you have to do in order to make sure you can cross a pit, as you cannot use the hammer for its intended purpose once it's hooked to the chain. Without a way to separate the two, you're pretty much screwed here. | |

Morton's Fork | |
| Secret Files (Video Game) / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: Near the end of the sequel, Nina is faced with three different choices when Puritas Cordis threatens to kill Max if she doesn't tell more about her new allies. Whichever one you choose, Puritas Cordis shoots and presumably kills Max anyway. The two major decisions you make throughout the course of the third game have no immediate impact on the story whatsoever. Regardless of whether or not you choose to save Cassandra, you'll always end up getting caught and trapped in a shipping container aboard a freight carrier off the port of Cadiz. And towards the end of the game, when Dr. Jane Cunningham forces you to disable a force field by poisoning Max so that she can retrieve deterrium for a dangerous experiment, you can either choose to deactivate the force field so that Dr. Cunningham will give an antidote to you to save Max, or to leave it on and let Max die. No matter what you choose, Dr. Cunningham will get that force field offline one way or another and then accidentally leave her antidote for you to give to Max and save him, which you must do to continue the story. | |

And Now for Someone Completely Different: Nina and Max switch perspectives in both games, and sometimes, you can switch between them. In the second game, there are four characters: Nina, Max, Sam, and Bishop Chester Parrey. Bishop Parrey dies once his chapter is over, sort of an introduction to how to play the game, and Sam is only usable to switch with Max in his first two chapters. The third game is almost always Nina, but a few other characters will be controlled, namely Menis-Ra, Max, Emre, and Jane. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Secret Files (Video Game) / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Foley the fisherman. Max comments that all he'd need to do is breathe over the water, and the fish would get so drunk they'd be easily caught. In the third game, Max comments that he drinks ten beers whenever he goes out to eat. And Nina comments that she wishes she had a glass of booze while inside of a flaming church. | |

But just before he does so, he is curious, and takes a peek. When he doesn't understand it, he shrugs and burns them anyway. | |

Black Cloak | |

Black Cloak: Much of the mystery of the first game revolves around mysterious figures in ominous black cloaks who kidnapped Nina's father so Nina is naturally wary of them. It turns out they did this to protect him and stop the true villain's plans. Although their sect remains a mystery with morally ambiguous motives. Then the second game has the cult Puritas Cordis wearing this who are actually a straight villainous example. | |

Fission Mailed / Non Standard Game Over: Just before the final confrontation in the sequel with Pat Shelton, head of Puritas Cordis, as Nina sneaks up on him at the top of his command tower, if the player does anything else than throw a bowl of soup at him, Pat will then shoot and kill Nina. He then belittles her for being so foolish up to this point. We then get a Game Over screen and for a moment we are tricked into thinking the games up to this point would never have such a thing...but then the whole thing is actually an Imagine Spot and the whole scene gets rewinded, likely due to adventure games having a rule against killing the player character since the complaints of the old Sierra games. Nevertheless, this is still quite a shocking roundabout twist on that rule. | |

| Secret Files (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Nina can potentially abandon both Cassandra and Max. The former is put into suspended animation, and the latter is saved anyway, but if you don't save him, Nina calls off their wedding. In the third game, Nina must soak a teddy bear in gasoline, set it on fire, and then ignite the said gasoline with it to cause an explosion in a post-apocalyptic dream sequence. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already: In the second game, in Bishop Perry's chapter, if you try to hide the Parchment in the Book on the Desk without first finding out that William Patterson requested it, he stops the action because he doesn't know who the book is going to. | |

MacGyvering: The primary way the game, when controlling Nina, solves puzzles. Nina expertly builds a boat motor out of an alternator, a damaged motorcycle, and some life vests, to name an example. She lampshades this in the third game. | |

Evil Is Hammy | |
| Secret Files (Video Game) / int_fdf22cfd | comment |
Evil Is Hammy: The villain of the second game is certainly a standout. Especially when he goes all out monologuing about his evil plan to lead humankind to a new golden age or his last words yelling how no one can escape their destiny. | |

Shown Their Work: The first game references the Tsunguska catastrophe, a legitimate mystery that happened in 1908. The third game references the siege of Alexandria in 47 BC, when Caesar and Cleopatra were barricaded in the palace by Achillas's army. | |
