Telling Lies is a narrative-driven interactive game that puts players in the role of an unseen investigator piecing together a fragmented story through secret video recordings. Built around a simulated computer interface, the game allows players to search, watch, and connect hundreds of short live-action video clips. The story unfolds non-linearly, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking as players decide which keywords to search and which threads to follow.
Rather than traditional gameplay, Telling Lies focuses on observation, interpretation, and emotional nuance. Performances by a strong cast bring depth and realism to the unfolding mystery, while the player’s perspective shapes how the truth is uncovered. Every discovery can reframe earlier assumptions, making the experience deeply personal and thought-provoking. With mature themes, realistic acting, and an innovative structure, Telling Lies is ideal for players who enjoy experimental storytelling, investigative narratives, and games that blur the line between film and interactive media.
