Secret Mode

Secret Mode at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile looking for a reliable publisher, Secret Mode might catch your eye despite its short history on this list. Based in the United Kingdom, this company was officially founded in 2021, though their active timeline stretches back to 2016 and extends into 2026. They currently have 22 titles listed as publishers but act as developers for none of them. The vast majority of their work, nineteen games, appeared in the 2020s compared to just one title in the previous decade. Their catalog is heavily weighted toward PC, with all 22 available on Microsoft Windows. They also maintain a strong presence on modern consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While they have touched mobile platforms with single titles for Android and iOS, their focus remains firmly on desktop and console gaming. The genres they touch are diverse, but Indie games lead the pack with twelve releases, followed by Adventure and Simulator titles. Quality trends for Secret Mode appear solid overall. Out of fifteen rated titles, four achieved great scores above 80, and eight landed in the good range between 60 and 79. There are three mixed ratings between 40 and 59, but they have not published any poor games yet. The average score sits at 71.3. Their strongest hits include Instruments of Destruction from 2024 with an 87 score, Make Way from 2023 at 85, and Loddlenaut also from 2023 scoring 80.4. They released A Little to the Left in 2022 which also hit that 80 mark. Looking ahead, their upcoming slate includes Star Wars: Galactic Racer due in late 2026 and Everything Is Crab in May 2026. Some recent releases show more variance in quality. Escape the Backrooms from October 2025 holds a respectable 75.1 score, but Empyreal from May 2025 sits much lower at 56. This suggests that while they often deliver hits, their output is not perfectly consistent across every single title. Their bio states they believe quality and fun are everything, yet the data shows a mix of high achievers and some mid-tier releases alongside their top performers.
