Description
A Video Game About a Woman Talking to the Police

Her Story is the new video game from Sam Barlow, creator of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Aisle. A crime fiction game with non-linear storytelling, Her Story revolves around a police database full of live action video footage. It stars Viva Seifert, actress and one half of the band Joe Gideon and the Shark. How does it work? Her Story sits you in front of a mothballed desktop computer that’s logged into a police database of video footage. The footage covers seven interviews from 1994 in which a British woman is interviewed about her missing husband. Explore the database by typing search terms, watch the clips where she speaks those words and piece together her story.

Unlike anything you've played before, Her Story is an involving and moving experience. A game that asks you to listen.

Her Story's deep, dark story makes excellent use of old-school full-motion video.

Her Story is gripping. You won't stop until you find answers, and it leaves you thinking long after the credits roll

Overhyped

It is just boring. And the restriction to search through the database is just too much. Better play Analogue Hate story and Hate plus. Similar principle but done right.

Neat mystery tale, no handholding

Only for people who think a video game about combing through files sounds (potentially) fun, but there is also a tragic story in here and a real crime-mystery to understand. It will also not tell you what to search for, except for a straightforward suggestion in the beginning to get the ball rolling.

Becoming the detective

Very unique experience. The game absorbs you with its setting. Not much of a gameplay but very intense building of the story. Keeps you intrigued till the end. An then you keep wondering if what you thought you knew is right...

Compelling

Hard to say much without spoilers, but it's a great concept for a game and it's well done. It's not five stars for me because of the ending, and not sure why there's no feature to just watch the videos through after you've won.

Good Little Game

Quite good fun this one, it might short but I've always had a soft spot for FMV games. This is one of the better ones!
