Have You Played… Telling LiesOne of us can only tell two truths and no wait that’s wrong
One of us can only tell two truths and no wait that’s wrong
You all rememberHer Story, right? The video-clip detective game that launched a thousand FMVs, none of which were quite as good asHer Story? Developer Sam Barlow followed up withTelling Lies, which is another video-clip detective game that is probably notquiteas good as Her Story - though it is much more polished.
Telling Lies catches on the same snag as Her Story, which is that if you stumble on the right conversations or key search terms early on, you can basically figure out the whole thing in 10 minutes. But I’d argue that the real draw for Telling Lies is in the performances anyway.
It’s a small cast and they’re quite intense performances - only one person on screen at a time, putting in their own pauses where the other person is supposedly speaking. The more I think about it, the more impressed I should have been with their efforts at the time. Good work, actors.
