Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis english demo

The demo version of Secret Files 2 – Puritas Cordis contains the complete first chapter, including the prologue, and could be downloaded from the official site HERE (a new window will open,click left on "download starten") or, as suggested by Chief, HERE.



The fascinating adventure game will hit the store shelves on May 8th 2009.

Thanks Carla -- this is one I'm really looking forward to!

Just tried to download the demo and got a download time of over 5 hours! Anyone else tried it?

Bristol, I downloaded from the FileFront link and it took about 25 minutes.

Good luck.

Chief

Thanks Carla. I loved the first game.

I tried at fileFront and it was going to take 2hours download time. Chief are you using a download manager?

Does anyone know if Dave at Interact will have this for pre order?

Now this is one game I am looking forward to!
Really enjoyed the first one.

Carla, thanks for the info, and Chief, thanks for the download suggestion. Using filefront only took 15 minutes. Started playing a little while ago. Have to break for dinner, but it looks really good so far. This is definitely my kind of game.

lexxy, I can't say about Dave and pre order, but about the time to download, it depends of course on the connection you have.

I have cable high speed connection and no download manager.

And it took 15 minutes to zman (do not know of is connection).

But the demo is worth the time it takes to download.

Chief

Dave is working on it, he never puts his preorders up till it's very near release.

Ana

Thanks, Carla. I started downloading the demo earlier today but didn't have time to wait for it, so I'm downloading it now. No matter which site I use, it's going to take three hours for me. But I'm sure it will be worth it.

Thanks Carla ,

I have had this on my list since the first time I heard that there maybe a 2nd Secret Files . So as soon as Dave at Interact has it up for preorder I will preorder it. Waiting for May the 8th .

Okay, I've had a chance to play some of the demo. The graphics are even more beautiful than in the first game, and I love Nina's new voice. The mystery in the game is very intriguing as well. Really liking it so far!

Since demo is around 1GB and it took only 15 minutes for you to download that would mean that you can download with over 1MB/sec. With 600K/sec it takes less than 30 minutes. FileFront is better for download but even first German link is around 350K/sec or just under 1 hour of download.

Chief,
I will try again as I have been looking forward to this game for so long. Ana, it's nice to know that Dave is working on it and I am sure he will come through for us as he always does.

Now THIS game is georgeous.

Has high res as i think its full 3d but in 2d style which is cool with me. Also has up to 6x AA which makes it look even better.

Tho only thing is that i have a powerful computer and should handle this easily at max settings but their is some lag with the mouse for some reason I think its their software mode cursor thats causing it. If it was hardware accelerated that would have been nicer.

Here a beauty shot.

Edit - Hmm first crash, looked at sickbay then tried entering it then crash to desktop with unknown error message box.

Nobody have trouble installing it? I get the busy curser for ages then BOOM! the BSOD. Using Vista.

Hi

I will wait for Dave to offer the game ....

Apart from always preferring to have a hard copy I feel he deserves customer support in these days of mad game downloading.

He has never let us down

Cheers.

Mad

Beautiful screenshots, Skeeter! As for your settings, hm, my computer allows me to turn on the anti-aliasing up to 8X, and I had no lag at all. I still have XP. Perhaps it's a Vista issue?

Mj2c, I hope it works for you. Have you tried posting on the Secret Files forum?

Well, I finished the demo and loved it! It looks to be even better than the first game, as there have been some definite improvements - Nina's voice actress, the zooming screens for conversations, and the translation seems to flow a bit more smoothly. The story looks to be very exciting as well. If possible, I'm even more excited for the full version now!

I too use xp, i dont want vista just yet tho i do have it dual boot setup if i need it.

Btw can u test something. If you enable more than 2x like 4x aa does the very begining of the first intro movie when you launch the game go a tiny bit weird but when you use 2x or off it plays fine? Just wondering as its a weird issue i have tho its just a intro vid nothing really about the game just the makers.

My specs if anyone was interested is.

Xp pro sp3
32bit
AMD x2 3800+ dual core.
HD 3850pro AGP 512mb with 9.3hotfix drivers.
audigy 2 zs
2gb ram ddr 400

Edit:

I forgot to mention that there is one major flaw in the game, well to me anyhow, which is lipsync or lack of. The lips do not corrispond to the speech that is spoken at the time. For a game developer to put so much work into this game which is clearly seen due to gfx and the quality of art etc and to not do lipsync is a terrible injustice imo.

Skeeter, I tested it for you, but did not experience any problems with the intro movie. Does the rest of the demo work fine for you with the aa turned on higher?

Its fine when im playing, its just the main menu the cursor lags alot its probs cos of the movie playing in the frame of it with the ppl switching. I get that in st legacy too till i put mods in which disable it.

Well I finally got it to work. It took over 10 minutes from when I double-clicked the installer to when it started installing. Must have been VERY tightly packed. Anyway when I ran the game and got to the game menu the mouse response seemed very jerky, in the game though it`s nice and smooth. The graphics look fantastic and show what can be done with a bit of effort (Still Life 2...ahem). Story seems intriguing, nice music, really looking forward to this one now.

If its correct, it seems like the full game Secret Files 2 will be released on PC, and also on Wii and on DS. I wonder if the Wii and DS will also come out on May 8th as posted first on GameBoomers?

Agreed, they could have gone a lot further with SL2.

This demo was great.

I really miss the old voice tho. It was maybe too young for the character but so, it was still good acting and i enjoyed it.

SkeeterUK -- you think they should change lip sync in every different language version of the game? Or always sync the lips to English and then dub in other languages, even if the developers aren't English?

Harhan3 -- I'm not sure about the console version release dates.

English is a must, duno for others. Mainly why i say English is because most of the world speaks it compared to spainish or french etc.

The game was developed in Germany and with all due respect to the main language in the world English it would be too expensive to lipsynch in English and maybe French or other languages.

It took two hours to download but I am sure it will be worth it once I start playing the demo. Mad, I agree that we should support Dave in these tough enonomic times and as such I too plan to pre order from Dave as soon as it becomes available.

lexxy, I agree with you and Mad. I keep looking on the Interact site to see if Dave has it up for pre order yet. As of right now he doesn't. I am anxiously waiting to pre order it . I received mostly all of my games from Interact, Dave is the best .

Tho only thing is that i have a powerful computer and should handle this easily at max settings but their is some lag with the mouse for some reason I think its their software mode cursor thats causing it. If it was hardware accelerated that would have been nicer.

That is graphics driver issue. I have ATI 9.4 drivers and had no lag at all.

Game is optimized very well. It supports all widescreen resolutions and AA. Nina is running fast, saving and loading is a breeze and graphics overall are quite good. It is not Crysis but it will run on most computers.

I can't forget chubby looking Vic and Paloma thanks to 1024x768 resolution being stretched on my widescreen monitor while they crawl like turtles with huge lag throughout the game. Loading times that take forever and bad 3D graphics are real let down for Still Life 2.

You can't preorder Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis in US yet. Check out Amazon.co.uk instead.

I have lag with the curser as well but only on the menus. Changing the curser to hardware makes no difference. I also had a random crash the first time I ran the game but its been ok since.

Yeah just in menu it lags with cursor ok when im playing tho.

The Demo is very good and very teasing!
I am also looking at Interact site hoping to see it available before mother's day so I can put it on my wish list .

Mothers day was on my birthday march the 22nd. Unless its different for other countries?

Yes, Skeeter it is different in the UK, I have family and friends there and have to use a reminder to be able to greet them. Here and in many countries it is the second Sunday of May.

Still playing this. Seems to be one long demo.

It sure is.

Judy D,

I moved your post to Hints forum. That is where gameplay clues are posted.
Also check SF2 threads there. You might find a posted answer.

Finished playing the demo. It was unusually long, no timed sequences, lots of funny dialogue. It's definitely on my to-buy list. And yes, Pirate Hunter, it downloaded at a steady 1.3MB/sec.

I downloaded the site the Chief recommended and took 1hr and 20 mins. Didn't mind the wait because i know it will be worth it. Going right now to play it. Thanks Carla and the Chief!

A demo with almost 1 GB? Wow!

I had the same problem. The download took me 15 minutes, but the installation was a tricky one.

Great demo! Can´t wait for the real game.

In Italy the game will be released on 8th of May. I played the first episode and I liked it very much. I hope I hope it is good as the first chapter.

Hi Paola Croft and welcome to GameBoomers!

Thank you very much Becky

the game was released yesterday in Italy. I hope to find it tomorrow

Do you mean the version in English?

No, no the italian version. I didn't find it for PC, unfortunately, but it was released for Nintendo DS

Does anyone know when this game will be available for pre-order and/or if it's been delayed? I've been checking Interact, but I haven't seen it yet.

Dave is working on it.

Ana

Thanks, Ana!

I just received an e-mail from Amazon.uk telling me that my game is on the way.

Rushes great and strange .
On amazon.co.uk the release date is still 8 of may .

So how come the game is on the way ?
Could be they have an early in stock ?

I got an email too - though from Game.co.uk, that it was on it's way.
When on pre-order sometimes they send it so we have it on release day

I wish Dave at Interact would get it in. I keep checking, hoping it would be there to order . Dave usually has the games early for pre order. I have never notice him this late before . I like ordering my games from Dave . I hope he does get it in soon. I am excited about this game .

TRinny, Dave is still working on it. Hopefully he'll have it soon. It is a UK release so he has to get the import.

Perry, Amazon is not someplace I would ever base a release date on.

Ana

Thanks Ana

I guess I just get so excited which makes me impatient . But I do trust Dave he always comes through .

Just started playing the demo and it looks good. Enjoyed the first one and looking forward to the release of the new one.

Doe's anyone know the release date for the US/Canada ?

No.

Didn't Oldman just mention that Interact has shipped his game in THIS THREAD

GreyFuss -- that's an imported version that Dave has received from the UK. As far as I know, there isn't a US publisher yet.

Oh Nooooo
More waiting. But I think it will be worth it when we finally get it here. I played the demo and it was fantastic.

Just finshed playing the demo and I can't wait for the US release. I saw on some web site a Sep 2009 US release date but hopefully it will be sooner than that.

Why don't you order it from interact. I've had mine for about a week now. Great game.
Richard
