Secret Lina

Secret Lina is a compact visual novel–style puzzle adventure that challenges players to locate the elusive Lina across a handful of richly illustrated scenes. The game blends hand-drawn art, subtle animation and spot-the-character mechanics to create a relaxed, atmospheric experience for players who enjoy observation, light puzzling and a touch of narrative mystery. Environments shift from shadowy woods to crowded rooftops and lakesides, while a limited hint system and optional time trials give both casual players and completionists reasons to explore further within the Cabin by the Lake universe.
