Wonderful anthology game. It isn't perfect, but overall the presentation is super clean. Visuals are probably its strongest point. I was honestly a bit floored when the SCP-1762 story transitioned from artwork into this delicious painterly shader; I embarrassingly had not realized gameplay had started. The writing isn't anything groundbreaking, due in part to this being an adaptation, and at a few points it can come off stilted, but they really did what they could with the source material. The SCP-239 tale had me at the verge of tears, due to a really strong narrative flow, and some surprisingly solid voice acting. I do feel they chose a strange SCP to wrap up the game with (it probably would've been better if they swapped 239 and 426's places in the story), but the segment itself was hilarious. Overall, pleasantly surprised by how polished this game is. Not without its flaws, Secret Files achieves what it sets out to do. Please, more games like this.
