The Secret World Vibe
This page is a place where I can gather and share resources
The Secret World was a horror MMORPG that lives in my top 10 games of all times. It was relaunched as Secret World Legends, and later spun off a solo game called The Park. I loved it largely for the setting. You live in the modern world, and at the start, you get pulled into "the secret world" of shadowy organizations, conspiracies (the fun story kind, not the modern kind that destroy society), and paranormal monsters. I'm currently working on a new writing project that has that same vibe, so this page is a place where I can gather and share resources.
If you have any suggestions of media that fit The Secret World vibe, please let me know and I'll add them.
Thanks,
Todd
