Finished it with the help of a walkthrough. All Deep Silver games are really great. ### 2/5 — Warum nochmals bezahlen? *2026-02-02, version 1.2.1* Obwohl rechtmäßig bezahlt, soll ich es nun nochmals kaufen. So verschreckt man Kunden. ### 4/5 — Sympa mais court et pas en français *2025-02-17* Tout est dit ### 3/5 — Passend für einen verregneten Nachmittag, da sehr kurz *2024-03-29, version 1.2.1* Nettes Spiel im typischen Geheimakte Stil, allerdings wirklich kurz. Ich hatte es in etwa 2 Stunden durchgespielt, lohnt sich also kaum… den Hauptcharakter Sam fand ich ein wenig überheblich, aber die Story ist ganz nett. Schaden tut es also nicht. ### 3/5 — Completely unlikeable main character *2023-12-05* Graphics good. Game ok so far thru intro. Are we supposed to hate the main character? She’s really an awful person. ### 4/5 — Russian *2023-08-08* Please add russian language! people in Russia love the games of your company! a lot of people will gladly buy your games! ### 5/5 — No glitches like the previous one!!!! *2023-02-07* I love these games! I got all the way through it without any glitches which made the game unplayable like secret files 2 where we first meet Sam. But you don’t need to do the previous game to make sense of this one. Have fun! ### 4/5 — Wichtig! Reihenfolge beachten! *2023-01-09, version 1.2.1* Das Spiel ist kurzweilig und unterhaltsam. Allerdings gibt es ein Problem im Bereich "Lager". Zündet man hier das Lagerfeuer zu früh an, so kommt man danach nicht mehr weiter im Spiel voran und ist gezwungen einen früheren Spielstand zu laden. Sollte dieser nicht vorhanden sein, dann muß man das Spiel sogar ganz von vorne beginnen. Deshalb ist es hier wichtig das Lagerfeuer erst dann anzuzünden, wenn man alles andere erledigt hat. ### 2/5 — Absurdly short *2022-05-20* It has its moments of humour but the controls are clunky and it is extremely short. Terrible value for money. ### 3/5 — Nach Teil 1 und 2…. *2022-03-07, version 1.2.1* …und für den gleichen Preis definitiv zu kurz. ## Frequently asked questions about Secret Files ### What is Secret Files: Sam Peters about?
