Telling Lies
Description
A Video Game About Private Conversations
An investigative thriller game with non-linear storytelling, Telling Lies revolves around a cache of secretly recorded video conversations. Starring Logan Marshall-Green, Alexandra Shipp, Kerry Bishé, Angela Sarafyan and directed by Sam Barlow, creator of Her Story and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
How does it work?
< Telling Lies sits you in front of an anonymous laptop loaded with a stolen NSA database full of footage. The footage covers two years in the intimate lives of four people whose stories are linked by a shocking incident. Explore the database by typing search terms, watch the clips where those words are spoken and piece together your story.Unlike anything you've played before, Telling Lies is an intimate and intense experience. A game where you decide the truth.

Sharp writing, believable acting and a twisting plot make Telling Lies an essential detective game.

4.5/5 stars
Telling Lies is a paragon for storytelling, for character arcs that surprise you and linger on long after the credits – and videos – have ended.

Since one random review gives a random 1 star I'll just leave this random 5 here and call it even.

WARNING
First of all, this is not a review. Telling Lies came out only two days ago, and I played it during an hour or so. From what I have seen of it, I am pretty sure that anyone who liked Her Story will like Telling Lies just as much, if not more. HOWEVER, there is one MAJOR FLAW that makes the game infuriatingly unplayable to me. Besides, I will not continue it until an update is released. YOU SPEND ALL OF YOUR TIME REWINDING EACH AND EVERY VIDEO. They will all start at the exact point where the keyword you searched is actually uttered. It is simply RIDICULOUS. Why on Earth did they do that? It does not make any sense. I really am flabbergasted.

Not buying it...
As much as I'd like to buy this game I'm having problems with idea of supporting developers who (in this day and age) did not even release a native Linux version...
