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.

Dlaczego warto kupować na GOG.COM?
BEZ DRM. Aktywacja ani połączenie internetowe nie są wymagane do gry.
this game is spectacular. maybe the story telling isnt a 10/10 one but ong the immersion and overall theme and plot twists are reaaaally impressive. i plaied this after telling lies. and honestly i prefer this story. really majestic
Kinda into those type of games, where you cycle between your own theories about what happend and when whole story slowly unravels in front of you. And I really like the fact, that there is no auto logs or summury in any kind, I need to write notes myself.
To preface this, I know two stars is rather low for a GOG game. I would give it two and a half if I could but I can't justify a three star rating, unfortunately.
Finishing this game took about an hour. Finding all the clips took three hours total. At least, I think I found them all, because the game doesn't seem to give much indication when you've "accomplished" anything. You will know when you've completed it but that about it, as far as I could tell. I wasn't rushing or anything, just typing in new queries as they came up in the dialogue.
As other reviewers have said, this one isn't heavy on the "gameplay"... And since it's so short, I'd say you should probably wait for it to go on sale, in order to make sure it's worth your money. It's interesting to try and figure things out on your own while you don't have all the facts yet. And it really feels like you're poring through old video clips to try to piece everything together, because well... That's basically what you're doing.
If you like the way that sounds, you will enjoy this game, for a while. But at some point, sooner rather than later, you will find the video clip revealing the truth of what happened. And then motivation to continue playing disappears fast. Not only that, but it starts to feel not so much like you are "deducing" anything, as much as you are blindly entering search terms, stumbling onto the truth by chance or brute force. I didn't even need to write anything down.
One more thing, the "side" parts of the story, aka the subplots, had surprisingly little depth... The main reason I sought to find all the clips in this game was to resolve those subplots, but it was a real letdown. I'll give you an example. Without giving too much away, there are "encoded messages" in some of the clips. I went to the trouble of decoding them, outside the game, wondering if they would lead to some new search terms, or some kind of plot twist, and the results were simply disappointing.
Tl;dr - only buy on sale.
Other reviews are majorly exaggerating this game. It's good, but it's not that complex.
It's simple: you have a database of clips of several police interviews and a search box. The videos have been transcribed, so you search words, and any videos that have this word spoken will appear (only a maximum of 5 clips per term, though).
So the gameplay is: watch a short clip, go "ahhh!", search words that stood out in that clip that you think might get more clips, repeat. The old breadcrumbs shtick. I know I've played this sort of thing before.
So this is an interactive movie really, thus the importance is on the story (or rather how well it unfolds) and acting, and both are done very well. You'll probably be able to predict some things, but not others.
By recommending it, this is me telling you this is a very good film that isn't harmed by its interactivity and Tarantino-esque structure.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
