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).

One of the Best Mystery Games ive played

quite a few hours into Dead Secret Circle already (as I had early access) and I am in love with this game... It is "point and click" style game however that does not take away from the feeling of dread and atmosphere in the game, in fact I think it makes it work quite well. I am very excited to keep pushing deeper into the serial killer mystery and find out who the killer is if you are a fan of scary games and murder mysteries I can't recommended it enough Spoiler free video : https://youtu.be/6xJ70SBYAYY

Please add option to disable blinds

The game is a great horror story with a proper longevity (5-7 hours) and graphics for the price, but everything is pretty broken by forced blinds. Every time you move the view is scaling down by having aggressive blinds around your eyes. It is getting pretty hard on eyes after some time. Please add option to disable blinds as the game itself is very good but hard to play in this state now.

I wish it didn't hurt to play

The snap turn makes it hard to comprehend where I am and the tunnel vision obscures too much of my vision when I walk. This game is uncomfortable to play if you don't have motion sickness. I wish there was a toggle to turn it off. Couldn't really get far without my head fog from vision confusion.
