About Us

This site exists because a story about two siblings left to look after each other deserved a place where players could actually talk about it. Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate isn’t a game that ends with a clean sense of victory, and after finishing it, the instinct wasn’t to move on to the next thing — it was to find other people who felt the same way about Miko and Jun’s few days alone, and to build somewhere that reaction could actually go.

What you’ll find here is centered entirely around that one game and the games near it: information about Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate itself, a catalog of other titles that share its tone, mechanics, or atmosphere, and space for the kind of quieter horror that gets overshadowed by louder, more combat-driven titles. The goal was never to cover everything in the genre it was to build a smaller, more focused gathering place for people drawn to the same specific kind of tension Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate is built on.

Choosing this particular game as the center of a whole site wasn’t a difficult call. Most horror games hand the player a weapon or a countdown; this one hands the player a phone call from a mother who won’t be home for a few days, and lets everything else follow from there. That restraint — no combat, no score, no upgrade tree, just a house, two names, and the weight of a situation neither Miko nor Jun asked for — is rare enough that it felt worth building an entire community space around, rather than folding it into a general horror catalog where it would get lost between louder titles.

None of this is affiliated with the people who made Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate. This is a fan-run space built by someone who played the game, felt strongly enough about it to want a dedicated home for it, and put that feeling into a site rather than just a review. Nothing here is official, and nothing here should be mistaken for a statement from the game’s actual creators.

If you’ve played Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate and want somewhere to think through it further, or if you’ve come across a similar game that deserves a spot in the catalog here, that’s exactly the kind of conversation this site was built to hold. Suggestions for games worth adding are always welcome, and so is anyone who just wants to talk about Miko, Jun, and the kind of horror that lingers instead of startling. Explore what’s here, and reach out through the contact page if there’s something you’d like to add to it.
