The Empty Plate

The game opens with Miko sitting down to dinner with her family. The plate in front of her is empty. What follows is a horror adventure lasting approximately thirty to forty minutes, built around conversations with family members and the discovery of notes hidden around the house.

Jun and the Locked Door

Jun is Miko’s older sibling and the main ally through most of the game. The horror in Family Secrets is quiet and domestic — wrong answers at the dinner table, objects that have moved between rooms, and a locked door in the basement that different family members describe differently.

Six Notes and the True Ending

Multiple playthroughs reveal that the horror has a mundane origin made worse by omission. The first ending most players reach resolves nothing. The true ending requires locating all six notes before returning to the dinner table for the second time.
