Are those secrets buried by time more deadly than forgetting? The independent puzzle game "Castle of Secrets" will give the answer.

This psychological suspense puzzle game developed by the Ukrainian independent studio Serene Questworks and published by Wandering Wizard under Snail Inc. will be launched on the Steam platform on April 25.

In the game, you will play the heroine Susan, step into an ancient cursed castle, and uncover the family secrets hidden in the dark.

The game uses the visual style of hand-painted 2D characters and immersive 3D scenes to build a living castle that can "breathe".

Based on 3D point-and-click adventure and strong narrative drive, the game builds a living castle that can "breathe" for players to explore. When the player clicks on a specific mechanism, the scene will unfold like a pop-up book - the torch in the fireplace may be an important mechanism to find the key, and the constellations and symbols may also be the key to unlocking the secret language of the castle. All of this not only tests the player's logical thinking, but also makes each choice full of weight through the multiple endings.

Choice is destiny - narrative maze under the butterfly effect

Highlight 1: 3D click exploration

Freedom and interaction are the core of the game experience. Players can inspect, collect and manipulate items, and explore every hidden corner of the castle through a unique interactive scene camera.

Every item you collect may hide a deeper truth - carefully observe, analyze and combine items to advance the mission and uncover the evil secrets buried in this ancient castle.

Highlight 2: Encounter more than 30 unpredictable characters

Each NPC in the castle has been independently designed. Every interaction you have with them is crucial. Some may help you, some may deceive you, and they all have their own purposes.

Highlight 3: Branching plot and multiple endings

Your choice will determine Miss Susan's fate. Every branch of the conversation, every choice of clue, may lead the story in a completely different direction. When you push a door, it may lead to the truth of redemption, or it may fall into a deeper abyss of lies.

Highlight 4: Exquisite hand-painted original art

When you step into the castle, every detail is art. 3D scenes are intertwined with 2D characters, with Gothic aesthetics, unique. Each scene is an interactive three-dimensional painting, and the artistic atmosphere and puzzle challenges complement each other.

The castle door of "Castle of Secrets" will be opened on Steam on April 24. Add it to your wishlist on Steam now and be the first to uncover the secrets of the castle. Players can also join Steam and other suspense enthusiasts to get exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes insights from the development team.
