Despite the critical acclaim that Her Story received when it launched in 2015, not a lot of games have aped its novel conceit — players explore a story by searching key words spoken during an interview. But developer Sam Barlow has continued evolving the format he created (though later learned had some real-world analogues) with Her Story in Telling Lies, which is set for release this year.
I spoke to Barlow ahead of the debut of Telling Lies’ reveal trailer, which you can watch below, about the complexity of a multi-protagonist story, how in some ways the game’s structure was a response to Barlow’s viewing of Breaking Bad, and just what exactly you’ll be investigating in Telling Lies.
