Robot Invader

Five years after the events of DEAD SECRET, a razor-wielding maniac with a penchant for circles is prowling the wintry streets of Chicago. Follow the clues to a dilapidated apartment building and its down-and-out tenants, each with something to hide. Investigate their apartments, collect evidence, and pay attention to your dreams to solve the riddle of The Laughing Man before you meet his blade.

Slow-burn psychological horror. Nothing is as it seems.

In DEAD SECRET CIRCLE you can freely explore every nook and cranny of the highly detailed environment with full locomotion. Solve devious puzzles in classic Adventure format. Collect items, review the clues, and unlock the secrets of this strange building. You can run, you can hide, but you cannot fight The Laughing Man. Your only weapon is your wits. Find alternate endings, a huge collection of hidden items and documents, and branching dialog paths.

Haunting original score by Ben Prunty (FTL, Darkside Detective, Into the Breach).

Terrible

I was thoroughly enjoying the game until I got to Rose's apartment and entered the mystery room. I put in the code to the drawer of herbs and it did not work. The bottom compartment of the drawers did not open. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game, to no avail. It still did not work. As a result, I could not continue the game. Needless to say, I was disappointed because I ended up wasting my money. At this point, because the game has been purchased, I am sure that the developers don't care if the game works well or not. Buyer beware!

Incredibly Immersive!

I enjoyed the first game in the series on PlayStation VR, so when I got the Oculus Go and saw there was a sequel I had to buy it. The sequel is even better than the original. I played the whole game standing up, using my body to turn instead of the controller, and that made for a very immersive experience. That's one big advantage the Go has over tethered systems like PlayStation VR, Rift and Vive. The atmosphere, graphics, and story are all excellent with the exception of a few of the character faces which look really odd, and some technical glitches with the lighting. Towards the end of the game I started to limit my gaming sessions to put off the day when it was over because I really didn't want it to end. I hope they keep the story going with another game.

Good game, but...

What I played of the game was really good, but I encountered a bug that hindered my progress. In the apartment building, you have to use the pay phone to call one of the tenants to get him to leave so you can investigate his apartment. I called the tenant but he didn’t leave, and the game won’t allow me to call him again. I really don’t feel like replaying the game from the beginning. Is there a way around this? I would have otherwise rated the game five stars.
