Secret Pie

Editorial Meh

Secret Pie is a straightforward adult visual novel that knows what it is: a showcase for appealing character artwork and voice acting wrapped around a thin plot. The community consensus is clear—players come for Kidmo's distinctive art style and stay for decent vocal performance and uncensored content. However, the story is widely dismissed as weak, with abrupt scene transitions, illogical character behavior, and pacing that rushes through setup. The game also suffers from user-experience friction: no skip function, no backlog, no cloud saves, and translation issues. Most damning, reaching 100% completion requires manual save-scumming before every choice. The DLC strategy (especially DLC 2's jarring tonal shift into group sex content that contradicts the base game's tone) has soured players further. For its intended audience—those seeking uncensored adult content without narrative pretense—it delivers on presentation; for anyone expecting story coherence or player convenience, it disappoints. Opinion splits cleanly: those who ignore the plot and focus on visuals find it acceptable at a discount; those seeking even basic narrative logic regret their purchase.
