180 minutes
You inherit the manor of an unknown father and discover his terrible secret. You decide to continue his work for the "good" of humanity but know that one lifetime will not be enough to achieve his goal. It is time to pass on your knowledge to your descendants so that they may continue your legacy.
The app has been updated with voice-overs for each generation's introductions and bug fixes.
You play as one of the siblings at the end of the 19th century, whose recently deceased father turns out to be a mad scientist who bequeathed his laboratory full of unfinished inventions to you. Frankenstein vibes…
The objective is to score the most victory points by conducting experiments throughout the game, and by attempting to complete your ancestor's masterpiece over several generations.
The French version of the app is available in the options of the My Father's Work app on Android and iOS. You can also use it directly online at this address: https://renegadegamestudios.com/playmyfatherswork
THE GAME
My Father's Secret is a narrative worker placement game. Depending on the scenario you interact with on the free app, the locations on the central board evolve, additional material is revealed, and advantages and hindrances will spice up your games. Subtly manage your resources as you will only be able to pass on a tiny fraction of them to your descendants. Experiment, archive your knowledge, and improve your domain to achieve your objectives and reveal, before the other members of your family, your genius to the whole world! Mwahahahahahah…
