![]() ![]() ![]() As with its predecessor, the less one knows about the core plot before going in, the more interesting and surprising it will be, so please excuse my intentional vagueness. Telling Lies, the new game from Her Story developer Sam Barlow (who also served as the creative director on the astoundingly underrated Silent Hill: Shattered Memories) is essentially a more refined, higher-budget spiritual successor. Along with contemporaries like Undertale, Soma, and Gone Home, Her Story helped blur the lines between smaller, ‘budget’ titles and the AAA sphere, and that’s absolutely been a net positive for both the industry and consumers. Her Story sticks out in my mind as a fairly important game as it came out at a weird time in 2015 when indies were transitioning from “Retro platformer/artsy piece on Xbox Live Arcade” to whatever nebulous definition one wants to assign to the term “indie” at this point. WTF: Someone tell the Need For Speed team that FMV is alive and well. Including, for example, the aforementioned entries, computer settings or basket and solitaire.LOW Playing with a controller is simply inferior. Immersion in the game world is also connected with the game interface, showing the desktop of the laptop, from which we have access to various applications. Sooner or later, we will find access to fragments that are so private and not intended for the eyes of a stranger that the impression will be even deeper. All the while watching, we get the impression that the characters are talking directly to us, which creates the impression of getting to know them. Records are fragments that are usually recorded using a laptop or phone. Thanks to this procedure, the plot in the game is non-linear, because it depends on us when we look at a fragment of a record containing valuable information. As in Her Story, this is done by entering the appropriate keyword that is somehow related to the case or one of the characters. The gameplay in Telling Lies is dedicated to playing a video sequence showing scenes from the personal lives of the characters. Our task is to collect all this into a single whole and understand their connections. To find answers to the questions that torment us, we search the database and, by entering the appropriate keywords, we get access to intimate records from the lives of these four heroes. ![]()
