Compare Secret Files 3 prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Animation Arts. Published by Ravenscourt. Released on 9/13/2012. Available on PC. Genres: Adventure. Metacritic score: 67/100.

A 2012 point-and-click adventure that drags its feet between solid puzzles and clunky adventure-game tedium.

I went in expecting a straightforward mystery romp with Max and Nina investigating their way through a wedding-adjacent plot. What I got was a middle-of-the-road adventure game stuck between two eras: it has the logic-based puzzle design that works, but wraps it in slow-paced dialogue, pixel-hunting, and the kind of obtuse item combinations that punish experimentation. The core mystery is serviceable, and if you're the type who prints out walkthroughs before playing, you'll probably finish it without much frustration. The real problem is that Secret Files 3 never justifies why you should stick around. Better point-and-click adventures were already available in 2012, and this one doesn't do anything exceptional enough to overcome its flat presentation and glacial pacing. It's a game for devoted adventure-game completionists with very specific nostalgia for early-2000s design, not newcomers curious about the genre. Alex, Scout Team

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
