Secret Files 3 – Nina and Max return to the touch screen in the follow-up of the Secret Files hit-series. The long anticipated sequel celebrates its debut on the App Store and received an overall update. The mobile version comes with better graphics, new sounds, effects and animations!]
THE MYSTERY THRILLER CONTINUES!
Nina and Max just announced their upcoming wedding.. but from the beginning this turns out to be way harder than expected. Max gets arrested by the police in the middle of his apartment in Berlin. Nina can only watch the scene from the side lines.
A secret message from Max on his way out starts Nina on her quest to find him and the reason for his arrest. She finds way more than that. When the watchers become part of the picture once again it becomes clear – rescuing Max may not be the most important task at hand.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Just purchased this game to support the developers of premium adventure games. Such quality and effort is rarely seen these days. Please keep the game updated with patches and fixes, thank you.
We found Secret Files 3 to be interesting, amusing, beautifully illustrated, and well crafted. Excellent work.
Ive got the previous games on DS and the conversion to IOS on this game is perfect. No bugs or crashes either and great graphics. A must play for point and click fans.
The character development died in this game. In Tunguska, Nina and Max were flirty and cheesy, but still cute and caring. It was at least endearing. Then games 2 and 3 decided to kill the love. All that build up just to disappoint. The ending was anticlimactic, abrupt, and not in alignment with the first game at all. Less about finding lots of items and puzzling how to combine/use them and more about weird stuff like climbing walls, moving a submarine very sad end to what was a promising first game. At least Ninas voice acting was better than Ninas voice in the second game.
We have played just about every game from the developers and loved them all. Unfortunately, our iPad Pro M4 does not love this one, because the aspect ratio does not allow us to see all the onscreen content, and that just became game-ending. We cannot get to the pixel allowing Nina to leave the Turkish underground bridge (after painting the ceiling with mud), approximately 35 minutes into the game. The display is not zoomed in any way and we have tried every trick we know. We would appreciate some help, but that seems unlikely given its age. Oh well.
Half way through and it glitched, doesnt work. No telling if we start over if it will work again. IPadOS 14.7.1.
We love all three of the games in this series. We did have to use the clues at times so thank you for including them. Sometimes we felt like Nina enjoyed being a thief when she picked up stuff. Lol. Overall great game experience. We want more games like this.
Great game until it stopped working.
We wish more developers would do point and click adventure games. We played this and only ran into one glitch (the game froze on the Murphy scene, and the auto save game was frozen, too, so we had to go back to our last manual save). Otherwise, no problems. We love paying once for a game and not having in-app purchases. Really fun gameplay and storyline! If they create more apps for subsequent Secret Files games, Im definitely in.
Same quality as the other games but — it ended suddenly — felt unfinished. Too bad.
Im stuck on one scene and cant get back.
Glitch: we followed Luigi through the alleys and Im standing at an open door and he is to our left. Nothing is clickable. We cant move in any direction. We killed the app and restarted our iPad which didnt help. We dont want to lose all progress! Ive waited for a response from the devs for a month. Nothing. Im tired of glitchy games forcing the player to have to start over. Deleted.
We really want to like this game and we mostly do. Unfortunately, we keep running into glitches and have to start all over again. Third time now. We used elevator to get back to surface and there is no way to change location or get back in elevator. And the auto save includes the glitch.we will likely give up on it. Really a bummer.
We love this series of The Secret Files love point and click. This game is nice but there is a few problems. First of all there is no auto save we find our self starting over the game from the beginning, second the controls are annoying sometimes it is difficult to press on objects and the graphics less good than the second game. Mostly because of the problems we gave 3 of 5 stars. Please at least solve the auto save Thank you! P.S it is update to 1.0.4 and still doesnt save.
We like the game but no auto save.
