I have just finished this imo amazing game. I really enjoyed it but I also have to agree to some of those critics who are complaining that rewinding is extremely slow and that it would be great if you could directly jump to the beginning or end of a certain clip.

So I've searched the internet and found a mod on Steammade by UnluckyNinja. The mod was made for the Steam release and unfortunately did not work correct with the GOG release of the game (tried both versions in the thread and one gave me a black screen while the other did not have environmental sounds anymore). So I decided to use the code posted by UnluckyNinja and add it to the GOG release using dnSpy (which I never used before but it worked and I've learned something new :)).

The fix is just exchanging the file "Assembly-CSharp.dll" in the folder "Telling Lies\TellingLies_Data\Managed". So if you want to be sure rename or backup this file before using it.



Instructions:

Simply download the fix here and extract it into your installation directory. After doing this you will now have the following options in addition to those that are already in the game:

Left Arrow: Rewind for 2s
Right Arrow: Fast Forward for 2s
Ctrl + Left Arrow: Rewind for 10s
Ctrl + Right Arrow: Fast Forward for 10s
Home / Shift + Left Arrow : Jump to clip start
End / Shift + Right Arrow: Jump to clip end

Hope it works for you, too. Have fun :)

@ MarkoH01, merci beaucoup !!! Ca marche !
Je suis, moi aussi, tombé sur le Patch de Steam, et j'obtenais un écran noir...
Merci encore, et je peux confirmer qu'en juillet 2025, le patch marche bien.

@MarkoH01, thank you so much!!! It works!
I also came across the Steam patch, and I was getting a black screen...
Thanks again, and I can confirm that in July 2025, the patch is working fine.

Thank you for the nice words. You are very welcome. I hope you really will enjoy this great game as much as I did :)

Merci pour vos gentils mots. De rien. J'espère que vous apprécierez ce super jeu autant que moi :)

C'est tellement bien d'avoir ce Patch !

Je viens de le signaler dans la page Wikipédia (France), avec les liens vers ce forum et celui de Steam.

Merci encore !

It's so great to have this patch!

I just reported it on the Wikipedia (France) page, with links to this forum and the Steam forum.

Thanks again!

J'ajoute que les développeurs ont indiqué dans la notice "RETINADOC" (que l'on trouve dans le disque dur de l'ordinateur in game), plus ou moins clairement, que ne pas rembobiner trop facilement est fait exprès pour ne pas se disperser dans ses recherches.
Aussi, je pense qu'il ne faut pas abuser de cette nouvelle fonction. Déjà que le rembobinage est plus rapide...

------------------------

I should add that the developers have stated more or less clearly in the "RETINADOC" manual (found on the computer's in-game hard drive) that the idea of not rewinding too easily is to avoid getting distracted in your searches.
I also think this new feature shouldn't be overused. Rewinding is already faster...
