Secret Files: Tunguska - REVIEW

Order Secret Files: Tunguska : CLICK HERE

Secret Files: Tunguska is an adventure game build around the mysterious Tunguska event that occurred in Russia in 1908. Quite a few movies and books were inspired by this exciting, but destructive, phenomena. Stories about UFOS, black holes, asteroids and more were provided as possible reasons. 60 million trees fell due to this huge explosion, similar to the destructive force of a rather powerful nuclear bomb. In the game version of the event you will investigate and come to an alternative conclusion to what is considered the most logical explanation today. Not surprising as the game needs to be entertaining. Adventure Gamers published a review on there site with all the details. They praise the quality of graphics and the interface, but are less enthusiastic about the actual plot and puzzles.

Imagine an alternate reality where Revolution had not decided in 2003 that point-and-click was dead… Instead of getting Broken Sword 3 as we’ve come to know it, the result might very well have been Secret Files: Tunguska. It has the two young heroes, the cohorts of secret factions, the mix of realism and supernatural, the patchwork of locations to visit — even the unexpectedly out-of-place humour surfaces from time to time. Obviously, the situation is actually a bit more complicated, and there is more to say about Secret Files: Tunguska than that, but the comparison is not entirely without merit.

At the heart of the plot is a real historical event: a huge explosion that happened in 1908 in the Tunguska region of Siberia, an explosion far more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb that was felt all over Russia. Most of the witnesses having been killed by the blast, the cause of the explosion remains mysterious: a meteorite, a secret weapon, the crash of an alien spacecraft…? German developers Fusionsphere decided on their explanation (hint: it’s probably not the boring, rational one), and decided to build a game around it. It starts in current times with one Vladimir Kalenkov, a Russian scientist now living in Berlin, being visited at work by a mysterious hooded figure, and subsequently disappearing with his office left in shambles. His daughter Nina decides to take the matter into her own hands, and sets on an investigation that will lead her all over the world, including the Tunguska region. She will receive the help of Max Gruber, a scientist who works next to her father’s office and decides to lend a hand.
