About
Feng lost his family young; the one that adopted him later isn't quite what it looks like from the outside. As he settles in, the warmth starts to crack at the edges, and the secrets underneath don't stay buried for long.
The story follows Feng through the years after his adoption, from the everyday comfort of a new home into the quieter, harder discoveries about the people in it. What starts as gratitude and routine turns into something more complicated as old truths surface and Feng has to decide how far he's willing to go to understand them.
Play consists of guiding Feng through his household, day to day, choosing how he responds to the family around him and how close he lets those relationships get. It's a kinetic-leaning visual novel more than a branching sim, so the choices shape tone and closeness rather than sending you down wildly different paths.
Changelog

- I've fixed the relationship issues where the definitions were inverted. So Jun should no longer be seen as a tenant by default!
- We pick up right where we left off at the end of Episode 3. Feng asks Mia for a round 2!
- It's been fun working on the new images for the upcoming update while trying new ways to make the characters' personalities shine a bit more. I've also tried adding some animations so let me know if you like them, or if you guys would rather stick to a strict Visual Novel style with images only.
- The second release of Family Secrets introduces several key visual and story updates designed to improve the overall experience and set the stage for what’s ahead.
- Technical & Visual Improvements
- While working on this update, I discovered an issue with how reflections behaved under dynamic lighting — specifically with the skin shaders used on certain characters. To fix this, I’ve replaced the skin assets for Jun, Mia, Kris, and Saraya.
- These characters may look slightly different from the first release, but the update allows for smoother lighting transitions, more natural reflections, and improved overall consistency in scenes.
- Story Progression
- On the narrative side, we continue to follow Feng as he struggles to navigate young adulthood while coping with the emotional fallout of what he witnessed in the first release. This chapter also gives players a closer look at the daily lives of several side characters, offering new perspectives on their personalities and relationships.
