Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis

Just like the first game, this one is also a really good point and click adventure game, the main characters are back and some other characters make cameos too, the story on this one is a bit weaker compared to the first game, but it still had an interesting one. Puzzles on the other hand got a bit weirder and harder probably because it wasnt as obvious as the puzzles in the first one, most were still logic bound, but some of the later ones were way harder to grasp than any i found on the first game. It ran almost flawlessly on the deck, the game has a bug early on, in the cruise ship when you need to clean the ceiling window, you need to switch the game to windowed mode, otherwise Nina will disappear and nothing will happen when you interact with the window, after that, you can switch back to fullscreen, the rest of the game was bug free for me and this bug is present on the game itself and its not exclusive to beign played on the deck. Still a worth a playthrough if you enjoy the genre and the franchise!

I played this in 2009, was pretty OK.

Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis, developed by Animation Arts and published by Ravenscourt, builds upon the foundation of its predecessor by expanding both its narrative scope and gameplay structure. It aims to deliver a more ambitious and globally interconnected adventure, blending conspiracy, catastrophe, and mystery into a single, sprawling experience. While it retains the core elements that define the genre, it also experiments with structure and tone, resulting in a game that feels larger in scale, though not always as tightly focused. The story begins with Nina Kalenkov once again drawn into a series of unexplained events, this time tied to a string of global disasters and an enigmatic cult known as Puritas Cordis. What follows is a narrative that stretches across multiple continents and perspectives, introducing additional playable characters and weaving together parallel storylines. This multi-perspective approach gives the game a sense of breadth, allowing players to experience different facets of the unfolding mystery. However, the frequent shifts between characters and locations can make the story feel fragmented, as certain plot threads are introduced and resolved with l…

Still delightful, although the voice acting is pretty wack and I dislike it when the protagonist refers to other women as "bimbos"

This is probably one of the worst adventure games, and I played a lot of them. The writing is a total cliche-fest, the characters are obnoxious and hard to sympathize with, the voice acting is wooden and disconnected, the plot nonsensical, and the gameplay consists of endless inventory puzzles that require the most absurd combinations of items which quickly degrade to the "use everything on everything" routine. Example - a guy falls into a hypoglycemic coma. You have a chocolate bar, but you cannot just put it in his mouth - the "proper" solution is to dissolve the bar in a bucket of seawater filtered through medical gauze. The plot is a blatant rip-off of the Uncharted series (there is even a magazine of the same name in the game), but completely devoid of Uncharted's charm, easy-flowing plot and refreshing gameplay. The plot drags on for 20 hours or so, and believe me, you will be happy when you are through.
