Although gaming is consensual fiction players often (in fact mostly) consent blind to things a GM makes up and keeps secret from them, in many cases, the players never find out what the secret is, although they may be affected by it.
This happens all the time in Call of Cthulhu for example, where players come up against some Mythos thing. They deal with the symptoms of the Mythos thing but often never find out what that thing was. They just know something was behind it all but it's a secret. Unambiguously.
