I really enjoyed this visual novel game. It had great artwork, was well written and had a very deep story. The game features a ton of content and on top of the standard visual novel dialogue style gameplay there are also multiple puzzle/minigames to playthrough as well!
Rating: 8.5/10

The cinematics presentation of the game is very strong, characters are likeable and relatable with their quirkiness, it's a game with a lot of thoughts put behind the story.

Entertaining, interactive story, very likeable and a bit quirky heroes.

Synopsis:

You and your friends suddenly discover strange mental abilities. A girl with pink hair seems to be behind it. Join your friends on an epic quest to reveal the "last secret", discover the truth about the world and save your life and the whole earth...
Epic and light-hearted story with lots of puzzles (that mostly can be skipped if you're not into it), the chance for romance (also optional) and 8 good endings. 

Main characters:

Four of the heroes of the game: Karina, Anna, Honghong und Meilin:

Time to introduce the case of The Last Secret in a bit more details... Here we go! 


Let's start with your childhood friend, Meilin...

The second of the main cast: kind and smart Honghong...

Here comes Karina: the sweet and nerdy math girl with a love for strange hoodies...
Image
 
Not one of your high school friends, but instead an international music star: Ben Benjamin... Where will you manage to meet him?
Image
 
And finally, the mysterious girl with pink hair... Is she behind all these strange events happening? And *what* is she?

Game play:

The Last Secret is a visual novel with a complex story and lots of mini games and puzzles. You can play as female or male protagonist. Activating the "rainbow mode" allows you to get close to same-gender characters. If you're only into story and romance, you can always skip the puzzles (just ask your smart friends like Karina to do it for you). If you're only into story and puzzles, you can skip the romantic part and enjoy the game nevertheless. (If you're not into story - why are you on this forum???😉)

Here's one of the puzzles the heroes have to solve on their way: connect lights of the same color along the lines, but no lights of different colors!
