Family Secrets

Editorial Meh

Family Secrets is a netori-focused visual novel (adapted from the manhwa Secret Class) where you play as an adopted son maneuvering between family members and external targets in a cheating-centered narrative. Community opinion divides sharply: some appreciate the premise and story direction, but a vocal segment criticizes the execution—specifically, the protagonist's inconsistent characterization (veering from shy and apologetic to suddenly aggressive), and the developers' heavy-handed repetition of "the MC is adopted" despite players setting relationship preferences at the start, which breaks immersion. The visual quality is noted as improving but still unpolished compared to later-stage VNs. A significant technical issue plagues the current release: the build is mislabeled as v0.6.0 but unpacks as v0.5.0, creating confusion over which version is actually available. The game is presented as kinetic (no player choices), which some find frustrating given the self-insert netori premise.
