Telling Lies is an unconventional interactive thriller that blends live-action performance with investigative gameplay. It invites players to uncover the truth hidden within a collection of secretly recorded video conversations.
You begin with nothing but a stolen laptop and access to a mysterious government database. Inside are hours of intimate video clips featuring four individuals whose lives intersect in complex and unsettling ways. Using keywords and search queries, you must dig through these fragments, connecting conversations, uncovering lies, and piecing together the events that bind them. Every discovery brings you closer to understanding what really happened, though the truth may depend entirely on your interpretation.
Unlike traditional narrative games, Telling Lies unfolds entirely on your own terms. There is no set order, no linear path, and no obvious right answers. You decide which moments to watch, what to search for, and how to interpret each exchange. This freedom transforms the story into a deeply personal experience, part detective mystery, part psychological drama, and part voyeuristic exploration of trust and deception.
Featuring powerful performances from Logan Marshall-Green, Alexandra Shipp, Kerry Bishé, and Angela Sarafyan, the game captures raw, authentic emotion rarely seen in interactive storytelling. The conversations feel real, the tension intimate, and the stakes unsettlingly human.
Telling Lies is about curiosity, empathy, and the uncomfortable truths people hide. It rewards patience and insight, challenging players to draw their own conclusions from incomplete information. For those who love story-driven experiences, character-focused mysteries, and the thrill of piecing together a narrative from fragments, Telling Lies offers a haunting and unforgettable journey into the blurred lines between truth and fiction.
