Secret Files: Sam Peters is a point-and-click puzzle adventure that began life as a spin-off chapter of the long-running Secret Files series. The Nintendo Switch release, distributed here as an NSP (RF) (eShop) package, brings the full Sam Peters story to a portable format and can also be run on PC through Switch emulation. It is a story-driven puzzle game first and foremost: you investigate scenes, collect objects, combine items, and work through logic and inventory puzzles to move the plot forward. The package is region free, weighs in at 820 MB, and ships with six supported languages. This page collects the current package details, the download button, and practical guidance for getting the NSP onto your system.

What Secret Files: Sam Peters Is
The Secret Files franchise is built around hidden-object hunting, inventory combinations, and dialogue-driven detective work. Sam Peters takes that formula and focuses it on a single character and a tighter narrative arc. You play as Sam, an investigative journalist whose curiosity pulls her into a mystery that unfolds through a series of hand-drawn, static environments. The pacing is deliberate: you examine backgrounds for hotspots, pick up usable objects, read notes and clues, and then figure out how those pieces fit together. If you have played other Secret Files titles, the interaction model will feel familiar. If you have not, think of it as a classic adventure game rather than an action game — there is no combat, no reflex test, and no timer forcing you forward.
The Switch version keeps the original art and puzzle design intact. Because it is an NSP eShop package, it installs as a normal title on a modded console, and the region-free flag means it is not tied to a specific territory. That matters if you are collecting games from mixed regions or running a console set to a different locale than the game's original storefront.
Key Features
- Point-and-click puzzle adventure built around scene investigation, item collection, and inventory combinations.
- Story-driven structure that follows Sam Peters through a self-contained mystery rather than an open sandbox.
- Hand-drawn static environments with hotspot interaction — you scan each scene for clues and usable objects.
- Region free NSP that is not locked to a single territory.
- Six supported languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian.
- Switch NSP format that installs on a jailbroken console and can also be run on PC through YUZU or Ryujinx.
- Compact 820 MB package — small enough to keep on a memory card without clearing much space.
Gameplay and Storyline
The core loop is straightforward and rewards patience. You arrive in a location, sweep the screen for interactive points, and start building a mental map of what is usable. Some objects are obvious; others only become relevant after you read a document or trigger a conversation. Puzzles lean on item combination and environmental logic rather than math or word games, which keeps the experience consistent with the rest of the Secret Files line. When you get stuck, the usual culprit is a missed hotspot or an object you picked up but never examined closely — going back through your inventory and re-reading notes is usually more productive than clicking randomly.
Narratively, the game treats Sam as a working journalist, so the mystery is framed around investigation and evidence rather than combat. Expect dialogue scenes, clues embedded in text, and a plot that moves in chapters. It is a shorter, more focused experience than a full mainline Secret Files entry, which is worth knowing before you start: the scope is a spin-off chapter, not a 20-hour campaign. If you want a longer mystery with more characters and locations, a mainline title in the series is the better fit.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Classic adventure-game puzzle design that is easy to pick up if you have played the genre before.
- Region-free NSP that works across territories.
- Six language options cover most of the major European markets.
- Small 820 MB footprint compared with many Switch titles.
- Runs on PC through emulation, so you are not locked to console hardware.
Cons
- Spin-off scope — shorter and narrower than a full mainline Secret Files game.
- Static environments and hotspot hunting can stall progress if you miss a single clickable object.
- No official version number is published in the listing, so you cannot verify build freshness from this page alone.
- Requires a jailbroken Switch or an emulator setup; it is not a plug-and-play Windows installer.
Languages, Region, and Package Details
The package is marked Region Free, which means the NSP is not restricted to one storefront territory. Supported languages are English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian — a solid spread that matches the game's European publishing background under Koch Media. The title ID listed for the release is 01002B300ECA2000, which is the identifier you would use if you need to check for updates or confirm which title is installed on your console. The download is a single RAR archive at 820 MB, so you do not need to collect multiple parts.
If you are building a Switch library and want more mystery-flavored NSP titles alongside this one, The Fairy's Secret Switch NSP (eShop) is a natural companion pick in the same genre space.
Installation and Setup Guidance
This is not a Windows .exe installer, so treat the setup differently from a standard desktop program. The archive contains an NSP file. On a jailbroken Switch, you install NSP files with a title installer — the listing recommends Gold Leaf, and you should use the latest release from its official repository rather than an older copy floating around forums. Once installed, the game appears on your home menu like any other title.
If you plan to run it on PC instead, YUZU and Ryujinx both accept NSP content, though not every Switch game behaves identically across emulators. The listing notes that some Switch NSP games are playable this way, which is an accurate way to frame it: emulation compatibility varies by title and by emulator build, so expect to do some configuration rather than assuming a one-click launch. For the jailbreak side, the listing points to a video guide on hacking a Nintendo Switch; follow a current guide for your specific console model, since the process differs between early and later hardware revisions.
For extracting the RAR archive, use WinRAR or 7-Zip. Keep your extraction tool updated — older versions sometimes throw false password prompts on archives that are not actually protected. There is no password on the game files in this package.
Trust Signals and Practical Notes
Version freshness: The source listing does not publish a version number. The documented release date is October 10, 2019, and the page itself was posted in March 2020. Treat the package as the base release unless the listing is updated with a newer build; the version field above is labeled as estimated for that reason. If a newer build appears, the title ID (01002B300ECA2000) is what you would use to confirm you are looking at the same title.
Publisher details: Koch Media is credited as both developer and publisher in the listing. The download page itself is maintained by Mike on Ziperto. These are two separate things — the publisher credit describes the game, while the listing author describes who assembled this download page.
Integrity checks: No malware-scan results or clean-status claims are provided in the source material, so none are asserted here. What you can do is verify the archive after download: if a RAR file reports as damaged or you hit a CRC error, re-download it rather than trying to repair a partial file. Broken or dead links can be reported through the site's reupload request page.
Before you install: confirm your console is actually jailbroken and that your installer is current, and confirm you have 820 MB free plus room for the extracted file. If you are emulating, check that your emulator build is recent enough to handle the title before you spend time troubleshooting.
Who This Is For
You will get the most out of this release if you already enjoy point-and-click adventures and want a compact mystery to work through on a portable console. It also suits players who are working through the Secret Files series in order and want the Sam Peters chapter in their collection. If you prefer action, real-time pressure, or long open-world campaigns, this is not that kind of game — the appeal here is slow, methodical puzzle-solving and a focused story. Players who want a racier, more adult-themed take on the "secret" genre should look at titles like Secret Flasher Manaka (v1.1.3 & Uncensored) instead, which sits in a completely different category.
Download
The package is a single 820 MB RAR archive. Grab it from the button below, extract with WinRAR or 7-Zip, and install the NSP with Gold Leaf on a jailbroken Switch or load it through YUZU or Ryujinx on PC.
