Telling Lies

Telling Lies is a narrative adventure game that utilizes full-motion video (FMV) recordings to tell its story. The gameplay involves analyzing these video calls and utilizing in-game tools to uncover a central mystery. Players must focus on discerning truth from falsehood within the recorded conversations.

Players are tasked with searching through a massive database of recorded video calls between four distinct individuals. You use in-game search tools to find specific keywords and unlock new clips. By piecing together the chronology of these conversations, you unravel the overarching plot.

Telling Lies was developed by Sam Barlow, a game designer renowned for creating narrative-driven, full-motion video games. It serves as a spiritual successor to his highly acclaimed interactive movie game, Her Story. The game features a cast of well-known actors, including Logan Marshall-Green.

The game focuses heavily on the lives of four individuals whose conversations are captured in the video database. Players must analyze the calls of these four characters to figure out what secrets they are hiding. The overarching mystery is revealed purely through the interactions of this core group.
