Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate is a psychological horror game about two children left alone in their family home. The story follows Miko and his younger sister Jun after their mother calls to explain that she must leave for work for several days. Miko becomes responsible for looking after Jun, preparing food, and keeping her safe. What begins with ordinary household activities gradually reveals a story about parental neglect, hunger, and the children’s struggle to survive without adult support.
Players control Miko and explore the house from a first-person perspective. The early scenes involve spending time with Jun, talking to her, and completing household tasks. As the days pass, food becomes increasingly difficult to find. The children continue trying to maintain their daily routine, even as their situation deteriorates. The game uses conversations and events inside the house to explain their family circumstances.
Most interactions involve searching rooms, examining objects, and following the next story objective. The available activities include:
The game does not feature combat, weapons, or character upgrades. Progression depends on interacting with the environment and completing the events required to continue the narrative.
The later story reveals the consequences of the children’s abandonment. Their father is connected to the family’s financial problems, while Miko and Jun face worsening hunger. Jun eventually eats crayons and soil after mistaking them for food. The ending reveals the deaths of both children, turning the earlier household scenes into part of a story about neglect and starvation.
Family Secrets 1: Empty Plate has no separate numbered levels. Its events unfold across consecutive days, with exploration, dialogue, and scripted scenes leading toward the ending.
