Overview
Secrets and Promises is a 3DCG adult visual novel for players who want a grounded family drama with a slow emotional pull. The tone leans somber and reflective rather than lighthearted.
Story
A former soldier comes home carrying two letters from his best friend, killed in action — one for the man's widow, one for his estranged sister. Delivering them should have been simple, but finding the widow in trouble pulls him back into a life he thought he'd left behind, bound now by loyalty and guilt instead of orders.
Gameplay
Played through point-and-click navigation and dialogue choices, the game follows the protagonist as he moves between the two women tied to his friend's memory, uncovering their circumstances and deciding how far his sense of duty will take him. Choices shape how relationships develop and which scenes unlock as trust builds.
Features
- Rendered 3D scenes with animated sequences throughout
- A cast centered on mature women navigating grief, secrets, and family ties
- Adult content woven into a story-driven, choice-based structure
Installation
1. Extract and run.
Changelog
