Introduction [SF.02.01]
==============================================================================
Taken from the official manual:
"Nina is torn from her day-to-day routine when she discovers that her father
has disappeared without a trace. As the police seem reluctant to help her,
Nina sets off to look for clues relating to her father's whereabouts. She
joins efforts with Max Gruber, a young colleague of her father who
impulsively offers to help the attractive young lady. Together, they quickly
determine that Nina's father was involved with a research expedition to
Siberia in an attempt to reveal the causes of the mysterious Tunguska
catastrophe of 1908. In that mysterious event, a mighty explosion triggered
an inferno that decimated the land of Tunguska. Nina and Max soon realize
that her father's disappearance is related to the Tunguska event and the
search for answers leads Nina and Max to the most remote corners of the
world - Berlin, Moscow, Cuba, China, and the Antarctic. Powerful
adversaries are also interested in Nina's father's secret. In the end, much
more is at stake than just the disappearance of an old man.
Secret Files: Tunguska recreates a mystery and dares you to solve it, in a
new point-and-click adventure. In July of 1908, the Siberian region of
Tunguska saw an inferno that turned everything into debris and ashes. The
entire land was devastated in a matter of seconds; the blast's impact was
felt thousands of kilometres away from the source. This phenomenon remains
unexplained to this day. With its unique mysterious setting, spectacular
graphics, and innovative puzzles, The Secrets Files: Tunguska sets the stage
for intrigue, drama, and a deep conspiracy to uncover. Nina is torn from her
day-to-day routine when she discovers that her father has disappeared
without a trace. As the police seem reluctant to help her, Nina sets off to
look for clues relating to her father's whereabouts. She joins efforts with
Max Gruber, a young colleague of her father who impulsively offers to help
the attractive young lady."
==============================================================================
Walkthrough [SF.03.01]
==============================================================================
Whenever you see something between quotation marks (" ") it means a new
diary entry has been added. Whenever you see Japanese characters, it probably
means you're drunk and need to go to bed. Whenever an item is between brackets
([ ]) it's an item you can get, interact with etc. etc. These might not be the
accurate names, but should be close enough to the real deal.
With that said, let's start this wonderful adventure!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daddy? [SF.03.02]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll see the father of Nina doing some investigations when suddenly the door
opens. He follows the person and the last we see of him is a shadow on the
wall, where he collapses.
Nina walks into the office and finds out it's a total chaos.
---New Journal Entry---
"Chaos
Berlin, museum: Nina wanted to meet her father in his office. But all she
finds when she gets there is terrible chaos. What happened here?"
Walk to the left side of the room and pick up the [Porcelain bowl]. Also pick
up the [Piece of rock] from the cloth on the right side of the table. It's
obvious you need to call the police. Grab the [Phone] to call the police.
Seems like they can't help you out. Poor Nina. On the left side of the room
you'll find a [Photo].
"Torn photo
Berlin, museum: A photo of Nina's father during one of his expeditions. The
writing on the back of the photo says: "1958: Vladimir Kalenkov an..." There
was originally another expedition participant in the picture - but who? And
why was the photo turn up?"
---New Journal Entry---
On the right side of the room you'll find a big machine with a [Flask] on
it. Grab that and combine it with the [Piece of rock].
Leave the room and Nina will notice music coming out of the office of some
guy named Max (read the [Name Plate] for that). Leave the hall to end up at
the main area with a big t-rex in plain view. Hug it!
No, don't. Head to the rear area and look at the [Statue] to find the
[Secret door]. Open it to find Eddy. He's talking about Harry Potter stuff
(guys in black robes) and leaves the scene. He leaves a [Key] behind. Grab
it.
Walk back to the hall and grab a piece of the [Plant] and combine it with the
[Porcelain bowl]. Head back into the room of your father again for a second
and combine the [Porcelain bowl] with the [Radiator vent] to get a bowl of
water.
Head back into the hall and look at the [Sign] near the door and try to open
the [Door]. Use the [Key] with the [Cabinet]. Interact with it to turn the
music of Max down. Walk to him office and talk with Max.
He doesn't know what happened, really. Go back to the office of Nina's father
to find a 'detective' who tells you to get out. Max and Nina will be talking
outside the museum and Max seems to be flirting. Can't blame the guy.
Grab the [Yellow glass shards] and then hop on your [Motorcycle] and drive
away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Hangover Without Alcohol [SF.03.03]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you arrive at the apartment of your father you'll be knocked down by an
unknown person. When you wake up, it's time for... A NEW DIARY ENTRY. Wow.
---New Journal Entry---
"Ambush
Berlin, apartment: Nina is attacked as soon as she enters the apartment. The
apartment has been ransacked. Her concerns about her father appear to be
justified. But what are the burglars looking for? And did they find it, or
will they come back again?"
---New Journal Entry---
Look at the [Fish Tank] to see a key. Wow. A key. Best thing that happened
ever since you woke up from the floor. Grab the [Book] and look at it to find
out it's not really a book. Look at the [Desk] and grab the [Pizza] from the
plate. Also get the [Salt shaker]. Also grab the [Pencil] and head back to
the room.
Move the [Carpet] to find a [Gap]. Grab the [Portable cassette player] and
look at it to find [Batteries].
Walk outside for some fresh air. Examine the [Trash bin] to find [Rubber
gloves] and a [Spoke]. Check the [Bike] to get an [Air Pump]. The [Box] near
the car contains [Double-sides tape] and [Glue]. Use the [Key ring] on the
back on your [Motorcycle] to get your [Cell phone] and [Sunglasses].
Back into the room, use the [Spoke] on the [Gap] to find a [Cassette]. Check
the [Desk] and use the [Cassette] on the [Cassette tape recorder] and listen
to the tape. A magical clue that leads to the password of the computer.
---New Journal Entry---
"Embassy
Berlin, apartment: One of the cassettes contains a strange message from
Vladimir: "The first and last on the car, a fourth on the openings to the
entrance of the underworld, and finally, the guardians of my work."
Leave for the museum and talk with the girl on the bench. She broke her bike
and camera when she saw strange persons the other day. She was afraid to go
home and slept there. Let's help her!
"Lisa
Berlin, museum: Lisa happened to take some photos of suspicious figures who
were hanging around near the museum. Since Eddy the janitor also stammered
something about mysterious characters, this appears to be the first hot lead."
---New Journal Entry---
Check the [Bike] to get the [Flat tire]. Head to the apartment again and
use the [Bucket] to get a [Handle]. Combine the [Glue] with the [Rubber glove]
to create a beautiful piece of art. Combine the [Air Pump] with the [Flat
tire] and then use that on the [Bucket] to find the hole. Finally use the
[Glove with glue] on the [Tire] to fix it. Head back to the girl and use the
[Tire] on the [Bike].
Talk with her again to get the [Camera]. All it needs is batteries, so
combine the [Batteries] with the [Camera]. More stuff to think about.
---New Journal Entry---
"Photos
Berlin, museum: Lisa's photos weren't as meaningful as hoped. Could the black
robes be an indication of a sect? And what about the strange amulet one of
them is wearing?"
---New Journal Entry---
The girl will give you a [Magnet]. Head back to the apartment and use the
[Magnet] on the [Fish tank] to get the [Key]. Use this [Key] on the [Book
casket] to find a [Address book] and [Note]. Read the [Note] and use the
[Desk].
Active the [Computer]. You'll need to input the code, and it's no secret the
cassette is the key to it. The code is 2342, but let me explain why too ;)
The first and last digit on the car of Nina's father are 2 and 3. The gate to
the sewers (underground) has 16 holes, divided by 4 is 4. There are two
statues guarding the entrance to the museum. So there you go.
Read the mail the father of Nina got, then check the [Address book]. She'll
find the address of Oleg. Go there.
Grab the [Plastic bag] and then walk to the door. Ring the [Door bell] and
Oleg will open the door (and close it about as fast).
---New Journal Entry---
"Oleg
Berlin, Oleg's house: Oleg Kambursky does not seem to be a very likeable
character. Is he hiding something, or is he just chronically unfriendly?"
---New Journal Entry---
Walk to the back and grab the [Broomstick]. After that peek through the
[Window] and look at [Oleg]. He's calling but you can't hear what he's
saying.
Back at his door you'll find a cute [Cat]. Use the [Pizza] on the [Feeding
dish] and attack the [Tape] to your [Mobile phone]. Use this on the [Cat] and
then use the [Salt] on the [Pizza].
The cat will run into the house. Check through the [Window] how the [Cat] is
doing. Now return to the streets and use the [Phone booth] to call your own
phone.
It will run into the tree and leave the phone on a lower branch. Good job
cat. You can be our special spy! Use the [Handle] on the [Plastic bag] and
then use that with the [Broomstick] (tape will be added too). Use this on the
[Mobile phone] to get it back, and listen to it.
---New Journal Entry---
"Bugging operating
Berlin, Oleg's house: Nina was able to record a telephone conversation of
Oleg. Just like in the mail that Nina's father wrote to Oleg, the subject of
the conversation is "Tunguska". Maybe Max will know more about it?"
---New Journal Entry---
When you try to head to the museum, Nina will take a nap first.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Room 8 [SF.03.04]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a chat with Max. After some chit-chat he'll go down to find some
articles about the Tunguska accident and leaves you around to do whatever you
like. Check the [Totem Pole] and use the [Spoke] the [Red glass bead]. Check
the [Freezer] for an [Acid Bottle] and [Cement bag]. Use the [Cement bag] on
the [Porcelain bowl] to create [Putty in porcelain bowl]. Use the [Acid
bottle] on the [Flask] to get [Amethyst]. Use the [Putty in the porcelain
bowl] on the [Diadem].
Head to the main room and combine the [Glass shard] with the [Sunglasses] to
get a [Green shimmer]. Combine this with the [Diadem], together with the
[Amethyst] and [Red glass bead]. Hold the [Diadem] in front of the lamp and
look at the [Escape plan].
You'll see 'room 8' marked on the plan, but it's being renovated. Move away
from the plan and Max will compliment you on the light show. Have a chat with
him about the room and you'll move to his room, since all the stuff from room
8 is in his room.
---New Journal Entry---
"Catastrophe
On the morning of June 30, 1908 there were indeterminable phenomena to be
seen in the sky. A short time later a cataclysmic explosion with a magnitude
greater than 2000 Hiroshima bombs shook the stillness of the endless stretches
of the mid-Siberian mountains. An inferno of flames reduces everything to
rubble and ash; and unimaginable shock wave snapped trees in half like matches
and threw herders and their reindeer 20 kilometres from the explosion into the
air. Seismic vibrations races around the world at 500 m/s. That night the sky
was aglow in Europe.
Strange discovery
While drilling, Russian mineralogist Leonid Kulik allegedly discovered a
substance that was unlike any material known on Earth. Kulik had already made
the headlines 11 years before. He had claimed to have found a giant unshapely
object made of an unknown material between unnaturally grown plants near the
explosion site in the Tunguska region. All attempts to take rock samples
failed because the material was too hard, and during the next expedition the
mysterious object has suddenly disappeared."
---New Journal Entry---
So know you know that, it's time to check the room of Max for objects. What
you need to check is the [Relief disk] and mainly the [Coin]. Grab it. You
might recognise it. If not, do not fear! I am here!
Head into the office of Nina's father and place the [Coin] into the blank
spot. What we need to do now is solve a puzzle. A coin puzzle. Joy!
There are four kind of joins (bronze, big, 10, gold - that's what I'll call
them). It's a bit like sudoko - there can't be a coin of the same kind
horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
From left to right, top to bottom the order should be:
Bronze, big, 10, gold
Gold, 10, big, bronze
Big, bronze, gold, 10
10, gold, bronze, big
Nina will find some secret notes on his project back in Russia. Nina will go
talk to Max and they'll walk out of the office, to be surprised by the
'detective' (hence the single quotation marks).
Oleg will come in and knock the 'detective' out. Back at the apartment of the
father of Nina, Oleg will explain things and tells something about a train.
Oleg has an airplane and knows a man named Sergej who can arranged things
there.
You'll fly to Moscow and Sergej will help you and get you a spot on the train.
When you get there though, the guy who is suppose to help you gets arrested
and it's up to you to get into the train (on which your father may just be)
and do the rest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Lucky Day [SF.03.05]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So let's start the journey into the train. We got a truckload of new diary
entries we can finally check now.
---New Journal Entry---
"Personal documents
Berlin, museum: A secret compartment contained documents from Nina's father
Vladimir. According to the documents, he was on a secret expedition in
Tunguska in 1958. The mysterious discoveries such as supernatural plant
growth were repressed by higher ups. Vladimir and his colleague Manual Perez
set off for the region on their own in 1977 with terrible consequences for
Perez. Nina's father blames himself, stating that research should never be
more important than a human life. The documents also contain a letter from an
ominous organization in Ireland, but the pages are blank.
Between escape and a hunt
Berlin: Detective Kanski has threatened Nina and Max. Oleg arrived to help
just in time. He says that he knows Nina's father - from an expedition to the
Tunguska region in 1958. And he knows even more: Nina's father could be on
board a train from Moscow to the Tunguska region. Was he really abducted? And
why?
Failed help
Moscow, train station: Nina and Oleg have set off for Moscow. Sergej, one of
Oleg's smarmy contacts, suspects that Nina's father is on the train. His plan
to bribe a guard in the military train station has failed. Nina is forced to
depend on herself."
---New Journal Entry---
Search the [Garbage] to find a [Nut] and an [Unidentifiable thing]. Check
the [Bag] for a [Bread Box]. Look at it to get [Bread and butter] and a
[Rubber band]. Combine the latter with the [Unidentifiable thing] to get a
[Catapult]. Use the [Nut] on it to create a [Loaded slingshot].
Grab the [Bricks] and use them on the [Car]. Then use the [Bread and butter]
on the [Rusty car jack] to get it. Talk with the man and go around the corner
to talk with the sergeant. He has a newspaper but doesn't want to get it.
Grab a [Pebble] and then use the [Loaded slingshot] on the [Lamp]. You can
now get the [Newspaper] by talking with the sergeant.
The man doesn't have the correct number, but by using the [Pencil] on the
[Newspaper] you can hand it over to the sewer worker and he'll be gone.
Grab the [Hose] and the [Barrier] (which will get divided into [Iron Bars]
and [Barrier tape]. Ask the sergeant how strong he is to get the iron bars
back, just slightly deformed.
Head down into the sewers. Grab the [Matches] and then use the [Car jack] on
the [Door] to open it. Use the [Iron bars] on the [Ascent] to create a
way up.
Up in the bathroom look under the left door and talk with the man. He is the
train driver but dropped his key into the toilet. Go back and connect the
[Hose] to the [Faucet] and drop this into the [Urinal]. Then turn the [Faucet]
on.
Leave the room to the left to overhear a conversation. The woman can take a
break to smoke, but needs to wait just a bit. Go back to the sergeant and ask
for a cigarette. Go back to the changing room again, light the [Cigarette]
using the [Matches] and put it on the [Dish]. This will clear the room.
The left locker can't be opened for now, but the right locker can. Inside
you'll find [Stocking], a [Radio], an [Envelope] and a [Uniform]. Read
what's inside the [Envelope].
Head back to the sewers, where the door is. Use the [Stocking] on the [Pipe]
and tighten it using the [Barrier Tape]. Then walk back into the other room of
the sewers and turn the [Wheel]. Grab the [Stocking] and give it to the
[Train driver].
Back into the changing room enter the door and talk with the [Man in black].
Head outside and talk with the [Soldier]. Go all the way back to the
[sergeant] and talk with him. He'll give you the names of the two agents.
Use the [Radio] on [Nina] and use the code 1548 to get rid of the two men.
Enter the door where they used to be and check the [Body] to get [Dog tags].
Check the tags for a code (31545) and use that to open the [Locket]. Inside
you'll find a [Permit]. Give this to the [Soldier] to get inside the train.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bread with Jam [SF.03.06]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After being on the train for several hours Nina can sneak around again.
---New Journal Entry---
"Involuntary trip
Trans Siberian Railway: There are in fact scientist on board the train, and
some of them are not here voluntarily. But just as Nina boards the train it
starts moving. What should she do? Jump off and perhaps never see her father
again? Nina has no choice, and her involuntary trip begins. However, she needs
to be extremely careful, because the train is crawling with soldiers and
secret agents."
---New Journal Entry---
Grab the [Dried fruit], [Orange juice] and [Lamp]. Enter the door on the left
to enter the kitchen. Grab the [Honey] and pour it inside the [Bowl]. Also
add the [Dried fruit] and [Orange juice].
Leave the room and enter the other room to end up at some scientist. Talk with
the [Assistant] who will tell you the professor is cranky because he doesn't
have his bread with jam. Get two slices of [White bread] (so click two times
in order to get them) and return to the kitchen. Use one slice on the [Pot
with jam] and give them to the [Scientist]. He allows you to look around and
will tell you something about the list of people on board the train.
---New Journal Entry---
"Sidorkin's list
Trans Siberian Railway: Professor Sidorkin has a list of all the scientists
and research assistants on board the train. Is Nina's father one of them? A
look at this list would definitely be worth its weight in gold."
---New Journal Entry---
Talk with the [Assistant] to get some info on the research they are doing.
---New Journal Entry---
"Research station in Tunguska
Trans Siberian Railway: Nina was able to find out several very interesting
things. A secret research station has apparently been built in the Tunguska
region. They have discovered that the growth of some plants there is
completely outside the normal range. The scientists are now trying to
understand and reproduce this growth. But what does Nina's father have to
do with it?"
---New Journal Entry---
Get into the other room to end up in a hall with no other ways to go. Grab the
[100 watt bulb] though. Fill the [Empty bottle] using the [Faucet] and then
walk towards the sleeping soldier. Put the [100 watt bulb] where the other
lamp used to be and turn on the [Switch]. When you go back the bag will be in
another position and you can open it to get [Castor oil].
Mix this [Castor oil] with the [Jam] and combine this with the [Bread]. Give
this deadly combination to the scientist. He'll be gone for a while. Use the
[Bottle with water] on the [Power outlet] to get rid of the assistant too.
Grab the [Glass] on the desk and the [Glass] next to the desk. Open both
and then combine the [Plants]. Put them back into the [Glass] again and put
them on the [Small desk]. The experiment he does will work and everyone will
rush in.
Sneak into the office of Sidorkin and check his desk. Check the [Documents]
to find out more about the whole deal.
---New Journal Entry---
"Attacks by sect members
Trans Siberian Railway: Sidorkin's office contains documents about "acute
threats to the Tunguska project." According to the documents, there have
been several attacks on research facilities in the last few years. Sometimes
"just" documents were destroyed, but there is also mention of attacks using
explosives and arson. Numerous eyewitnesses reported seeing men in black
robes. Could they be the same men that Eddy and Lise saw near the museum in
Berlin?"
---New Journal Entry---
Leave the desk and you'll be discovered - and locked away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not Feed the Dog [SF.03.07]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max will find out more about the documents Nina found, and it'll be in the
diary of Nina. Makes perfect sense.
---New Journal Entry---
"Trail to Ireland
Berlin, museum: Max received information that the blank pages in a letter that
Nina found in her father's documents were not blank at all. A man named Ken
Morangie obtained some documents at Nina's father's request. Unfortunately it
was unclear what kind of documents. But maybe a closer look at this Morangie
guy might be a good idea, because why is he sending encoded messages to
Vladimir Kalenkov?"
---New Journal Entry---
Get the [Leash] from the cage and also grab [Frozen meat]. Put this in the
[Glass] and use this on the [Cage]. Grab the [Bone] from the dog. On the
right side of the room you'll find a vacuum cleaner. Grab the [Hose] and
[Tube] and use the [Bone] on the [Flap] to open it. Check the insides to find
a [Vacuum cleaner bag]. Combine the [Leash] with the [Tube] to get a [Leash
with pipe]. Yes, it suddenly changed into a pipe. Magic!
Use the [Leash with pipe] twice on the [Hatch] and climb up. On top of the
train walk to the pipes on the right side and check the [Vacuum cleaner bag]
to get [Animal hair] and a [Speld]. Use the [Animal hair] on the right
[Pipe] and then connect the [Hose] to both pipes. The professor will open his
window and walk out. Grab the [Leash with pipe] and use it on the [Pipes] to
enter the room.
Turn the three statues you see so they are looking left, just like Lenin on
the picture is. Grab the [Flower vase] and then check the [Desk]. Use the
[Speld] on the [Drawer] to get the fourth [Statue]. Use this one and make it
look left too, to open a secret room.
Inside you'll find a [Book] on the chair. Grab it and use it in the other
room, on the [Bookcase]. Check the [Niche] in the secret room to find out
there's nothing there. Walk to the other room again and grab the head of the
[Skull] and put it in the [Niche] to find the real secret.
You need to crack the safe first. The goal is to turn all lights off. Use the
hint section of your diary if you can't figure it out. You'll find some
documents, and then the train will crash.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Needles and Anesthetic [SF.03.08]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: SAVE THE GAME HERE. A BUG LATER ON MIGHT PREVENT YOU FROM GOING ANY
FURTHER INTO THE GAME.
Max will get a call from Oleg and hears the bad news. They will go to the
hospital and free Nina. You will play as Max now. But first, some new diary
entries.
---New Journal Entry---
"The Kalenkov Report
Trans Siberian Railway: The list containing the scientists has finally been
found. Nina's father isn't on the train or in the research station. Still,
the trip was not futile. The safe contains documents about the "Kalenkov
Report." Vladimir Kalenkov had analysed a fragment that was presumably of
extraterrestrial origin that had been found in the Tunguska region. Thanks to
this report, the scientists apparently learned how to manipulate the behaviour
of animals using radiation.
The liberation
Siberia, hospital: Oleg informed Max about the terrible attack on the train.
The two immediately headed to Siberia, where Nina is being held captivate in
a remote military hospital."
---New Journal Entry---
Grab the [Bag] from the bench and check the [Shrub]. Combine these and give
them to Oleg. Check out the [Ambulance] and call them up to get inside.
Check the [Lamp] to find out a [Key] is inside. Grab the [Surgery pliers] and
use them on [Lamp] to get the [Key]. Use the [Key] to open the [Door].
Check the radio on the table for another diary entry.
---New Journal Entry---
"Mysterious illness
Siberia, hospital: A medical report talks about patients with severe mental
and behavioural problems - apparently this is quite common in this region.

"Trail to Cuba
Siberia, hospital: Max accidentally stumbles on the patient file of Manuel
Perez, who apparently returned from an expedition with Vladimir Kalenkov
with severe mental and behavioural problems and was treated in this hospital.
He was transferred to Cuba just a few weeks ago at the request of a Dr.
Nicole Charlesroi. Why the sudden interest in him again after over 30 years?
Is there a connection with the almost simultaneous disappearance of Nina's
father?"

about the cause of the Tunguska catastrophe during his expedition in 1958. He
summarized his analyses of a fragment found in the region in the Kalenkov
Report, in which he claims the material is not made of any material known on

not mention where the artifact had been found. Morangie was therefore
supposed to buy all the records from the researcher's estate - and they found
a strange symbol there as well."
