'''Secret Files''' is a series of AdventureGames created by Deep Silver, the video game department of the Koch Media group based in Germany. There are three games in the series.
The first game, Secret Files: Tunguska ([[TheTunguskaEvent named after the explosion caused in 1908 in Siberia]]) follows Nina Kalkenkov, an average Russian woman, visiting her father, Vladimir, at his office in a Berlin museum only to find him missing and his office a wreck. The police being [[DefectiveDetective singularly unhelpful]], she tackles the problem herself, aided by one of her father's co-workers, and later boyfriend, [[AdventurerArchaeologist Max Gruber]]. The two uncover an investigation he undertook to Tunguska in the 1950's, as well as a world domination scheme that's also interested in the same investigation.
The second game, Puritas Cortis, taking place shortly after the first, begins with several members of the Catholic church, a vicar and then a bishop, being attacked and murdered over a strange parchment found while the vicar's church was undergoing renovation, referring to a prophet named Zandona, known for his gloom-and-doom prophecies. Meanwhile, Nina and Max have split up. Nina is taking a cruise to relax, while Max is headed to Indonesia to visit a former classmate, Sam Peters, at her dig site where she's uncovered an ancient temple. Both of them end up involved in thwarting an AncientConspiracy and their plan to create natural disasters to manipulate Zandona's prophecies.
The third game, simply title Secret Files 3, Nina and Max have gotten back together, and are planning to be married. However, before this happens, Max is taken by the police under charges of suspected terrorism. As it turns out, these men are not the actual police, and Nina finds herself embroiled in a plot to save him, and the world, yet again.

'''Secret Files''' is a series of AdventureGames created by Deep Silver, the video game department of the Koch Media group based in Germany. There are two games in the series, with a third in development.
The first game, Secret Files Tsugunska ([[ShownTheirWork named after the explosion caused in 1908 in Siberia]]) follows [[GreenEyedRedhead Nina Kalkenkov]], an average Russian woman, visiting her father, Vladimir, at his office in a Berlin museum only to find him missing and his office a wreck. The police being [[DefectiveDetective singularly unhelpful]], she tackles the problem herself, aided by one of her father's co-workers, and later boyfriend, [[AdventurerArchaeologist Max Gruber]]. The two uncover an investigation he undertook to Tsugunska in the 1950's, as well as a world domination scheme that's also interested in the same investigation.
The second game, Puritas Cortis, taking place shortly after the first, begins with several members of the Catholic church, a vicar and then a bishop, being attacked and murdered over a strange parchment found while the vicar's church was undergoing renovation, referring to a prophet named Zandona, known for his gloom-and-doom prophecies. Meanwhile, Nina and Max have split up. Nina is taking a cruise to relax, while Max is headed to Indonesia to visit a former classmate, Sam Peters, at her dig site where she's uncovered an ancient temple. Both of them end up involved in thwarting an AncientConspiracy and their plan to create natural disasters to manipulate Zandona's prophecies.
The game's approach resolves around solving puzzles and combining items to achieve the desired results. One may have a puzzle, like a very large, multi-colored symbol one must determine the smaller symbols that make it up, and can tell by changing the color of a lamp by tinting it with other inventory objects, as well as different puzzles and riddles to solve.
----
!! This game provides examples of:
* ActionSurvivor: Nina and Max are built of this trope.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Nina and Max switch perspectives in both games, and sometimes, you can switch between them. In the second game, there are four characters: Nina, Max, Sam, and Bishop Chester Parrey. [[spoiler: Bishop Parrey dies once his chapter is over, sort of an introduction to how to play the game, and Sam is only usable to switch with Max in his first two chapters.]]
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Max is one, Vladimir used to be one, or at least, an Adventure Geologist.
* AllMenArePerverts: Nurse Sabrina's plan to get elected as mayor is to appeal to this. [[spoiler: It works.]]
* AllWomenAreLustful: The female guard in the Russian train station has pictures of many handsome men, Nina drools over a few good-looking guys, as does Katharina Jordan.
* AncientConspiracy: Puritas Cortis.
* BadassInDistress: In both game, Nina and Max end up kidnapped at some point.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Max]] pulls these off in both games. Once with a crane hook, and another with a helicopter.
* BlueEyes: Max sports them, along with HairOfGold. He's the good guy.
* BottleFairy: Nina likes her vodka, especially in the first game.
* BrattyHalfPint: Oskar, the ship captain's son, in the second game. He plays the bongoes just to be annoying. And plays a FetchQuest with Nina because he's bored.
* BusmansHoliday: Nina planned to take a vacation to get over her breakup with Max. She ends up in the middle of an AncientConspiracy.
* ButtMonkey: The guard in the Siberian hospital, Spivak. In both games, Max makes a fool of him.
* CasanovaWannabe: Rossi, the Italian outside the metro station in Paris.
* ChekhovsGun: The stove door Max gets [[spoiler: when he's kidnapped by the cult. Pat Shelton, angry that Nina won't tell him the information he wants (that Nina doesn't have) angrily shoots Max in the chest and leaves him in a shallow grave. The bullet is stopped by the door.]]
* ChekhovsVolcano: At Sam's dig site in Indonesia. She even says it is dormant and will never erupt. [[spoiler: Of course, Puritas Cortis drops a nuclear bomb in it to make it happen.]]
* ChurchMilitant: Puritas Cortis, Jay Shelton, and posthumously, Zandona.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Manimisso Gartusso.
* ContrivedCoincidence: [[spoiler: Jay Shelton]] believes this, and believes that there is no way Nina and Max, who know each other, simply stumbled onto his plans in two different places halfway around the world in the second game. [[spoiler: Truth is, he's wrong, it was a complete accident.]]
* CoversAlwaysLie: The Puritas Cortis cover features four prominent characters: Nina, Max, David, and Sam. [[spoiler: Sam [[PutOnABus disappears after Max's first chapter and is never heard from again for the rest of the game.]]]]
* {{Cult}}: There is a cult in both games, both have the hooded robes standard of cults. [[spoiler: In the first game, they are good guys, who keep Vladimir and Max safe. In the second, it's your standard evil cult.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Max and especially Nina are. For the supporting cast, there is Fleming, the tour guide when Nina turns in her model of the Atomium, as well as the bartender Max meets in Ireland.
* TheDeterminator: Nina treks halfway across the world (Germany, Russia, Cuba, and then China [[spoiler: then Antartica, but that's because she was kidnapped)]], and endures craploads of abuse just to find her father.
* FieryRedhead: Nina.
* FirstPersonSmartass: When you control a character, you hear their thoughts as well. And both Nina and Max are huge smartasses.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The game was made in 2007, and mentions, as part of the natural disasters that happened, was an earthquake in Japan. This was before the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
* TheGhost: Vladimir Kalenkov, while especially important to the first game, is only ever seen in the credits in either game.
* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: The tidal wave [[spoiler: on the cruise ship.]]
* GreenEyedRedhead: Nina has the look, and she gets very jealous about Max's relationship with Sam. [[spoiler: They're just friends.]]
* HeroicBSoD: Nina goes through a big one near the end of the second game, when she believes herself responsible for the deaths of both [[spoiler: David and Max, although Max ends up surviving.]]
* InfoDump: The first game did this a lot, the second game made it easier.
* KickTheDog: The guard watching Sam after she is kidnapped. When she asks for fruit, he cruelly eats one of them. [[spoiler: You cause him to trip out by hiding a psychotropic berry in one.]]
* KleptomaniacHero: An AdventureGame, so par the course.

The first game, Secret Files Tsugunska ([[ShownTheirWork named after the explosion caused in 1908 in Siberia]]) follows [[GreenEyedRedhead Nina Kalkenkov]], an average Russian woman, visiting her father, Vladimir, at his office in a Berlin museum only to find him missing and his office a wreck. The police being [[DefectiveDetective singularly unhelpful]], she tackles the problem herself, aided by one of her father's co-workers, and later boyfriend, [[AdventurerArchaeologist Max Gruber]]. The two uncover an investigation he undertook to Tsugunska in the 1950's, as well as a world domination scheme that's also interested in the same investigation.
The second game, Puritas Cortis, taking place shortly after the first, begins with several members of the Catholic church, a vicar and then a bishop, being attacked and murdered over a strange parchment found while the vicar's church was undergoing renovation, referring to a prophet named Zandona, known for his gloom-and-doom prophecies. Meanwhile, Nina and Max have split up. Nina is taking a cruise to relax, while Max is headed to Indonesia to visit a former classmate, Sam Peters, at her dig site where she's uncovered an ancient temple. Both of them end up involved in thwarting an AncientConspiracy and their plan to create natural disasters to manipulate Zandona's prophecies.
The game's approach resolves around solving puzzles and combining items to achieve the desired results. One may have a puzzle, like a very large, multi-colored symbol one must determine the smaller symbols that make it up, and can tell by changing the color of a lamp by tinting it with other inventory objects, as well as different puzzles and riddles to solve.

* ActionSurvivor: Nina and Max are built of this trope.

In the second game, there are four characters: Nina, Max, Sam, and Bishop Chester Parrey.
