Well, here we are at the end of September already. These events always go once again facing the end wishing there was too fast somehow, and now I am more time to talk. Ther’s how it goes, though. So instead of mourning the end of Sneaky Secrets in September, let’s instead celebrate it by discussing…

The Worst Kept Secret in Conker’s Bad Fur Day
In the pantheon of 3D platformers, Rare’s Conker’s Bad Fur Day is a bit of an outlier. It has the bones of an exploration game with the muscle of a puzzle-platformer and the brains of an action-platformer. But its most noticeable departure from tradition has to do with collecting. Unlike its most comparable titles (Banjo-Kazooie,…
Barely Scratching the Surface of Undertale Easter Eggs
Undertale was groundbreaking in its time. A game that broke the mold, where you had the potential to spare every enemy instead of fighting them. Filled with lovable characters that you may or may not have chosen to massacre depending on the route you were taking, this game also boasted a jarring mix of quirky…
Elden Ring’s Wealth of Secrets
As fun as it was finding all the little out of the way passages (and sometimes bosses) in Hollow Knight, I still think Elden Ring reigns supreme when it comes to secrets and discoveries. Again, these aren’t secrets in the same way that Stop ‘n’ Swop and normal Easter eggs are, but rather locations and…
That Which is Hiding in the Hidden History of Santo Ileso
The 2022 Saints’ Row reboot may have gone over the gaming community like a lead balloon, but I had a decent time with it. There was plenty wrong with the game, but one thing that Deep Silver Volition (RIP) got right was the game’s setting, the wild and wonderful world of Santo Ileso, which was…
Sneaky Secret Anomalous Rubber Duckies
Today’s Easter eggs cover multiple games, but a singular topic. Ironically, said topic could even lay eggs. Because I’m talking about ducks. Or more specifically, rubber ducks (okay, okay, so I suppose those can’t lay eggs…). These Duck of Indeed-approved bath toys are cute and silly and can actually be found in a handful of…
The Many Secrets of Hollow Knight
Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong is out and has made me eat a very big sandwich stuffed with my own words, my thoughts have turned once more to its predecessor and the qualities that made it such a special experience. There’s no one thing that makes Hollow Knight great, but, since we’re in the midst…
The Secret of the Cheese in Dragon Age: Inquisition – The Descent
Much like its predecessors, Dragon Age: Inquisition is steeped in lore, and there’s no shortage of odd and unusual leads to follow from its plethora of codex entries. Some lead to exemplary gear, others lead to exclusive story additions or dialogue between characters. But none lead to one of the game’s strangest and most humorous…
Rayman 3 is Packed with Secrets!
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a platformer from the early 2000’s starring Ubisoft’s neglected limbless mascot. For whatever reason, the game allows you to collect these gems in order to rack up points, which served no other purpose than to unlock some random minigames (and a hidden room in the Tower of the Leptys, which…
Stop ‘n’ Swop’s Inter-game Secrets
Secrets in games come in all manner of varieties, from funny little easter eggs to actual cheats that enable all sorts of craziness. Normally, secrets are meant to be found, albeit with a little sleuthing effort, but there are those that were never meant to be found at all. For a long time in Banjo-Kazooie,…
VIRTUAL BASTION
