Our take on Secret Archives
The defining structure is an enclosed-area retrieval mission: search for clues, solve light puzzles, fight enemies, recover files, and escape.
What is Secret Archives?
Secret Archives is a third-person shooter set in the future, where a secret experiment involving a strange mineral causes a large-scale infection.
After non-infected individuals are evacuated, the protagonist enters the site to retrieve important files and escape. The game uses enclosed, box-like map areas for exploration, clue searching, puzzle solving, enemy encounters, and escape. Its weapons include a pistol, rifle, and shotgun, supported by self-defense daggers and grenades. An ammunition synthesis system allows players to create ammunition according to their preferences. Clothing options and photography actions are placed around the map and unlock access to a photo mode. Character customization also includes body-shape options, including slimmer and fuller choices.
