Quien mucho abarca poco aprieta, y aquí la mecánica de Her Story no funciona tan bien al querer hacerlo todo más grande (más personajes, más localizaciones, más tramas...).
No está mal, sobre todo gracias a un buen reparto, pero resulta más agotador que su predecesor y para los completistas como yo resulta algo frustrante lo inabarcable que es todo (yo tenía intención de completarlo al 100% pero me acabé rindiendo).

Genuinely have no clue why the ratings are all over the place for this game, I get the feeling many people jumped in, didn't "get it" immediately and then shelved it.
Telling Lies is Sam Barlow's second big venture into his crusade to keep FMV alive in the 21st century, the first being mystery game Her Story. Telling Lies is a much, much bigger game than Her Story that retains the same basic structure: A search engine that brings up segmented video clips of a singular subject speaking directly to camera, limited to the top five results.
Her Story centered on one woman, one mystery, and one throughline, while Telling Lies claims to juggle four characters, though it's a bit more complex than that. It centers on one man, and his descent into this dark pit of lie after lie after lie as he tries to maintain several different relationships between a startlingly strong ensemble of actors.
While a bit unfocused and bloated at times, Telling Lies still supplies suspense, thrills, heartbreak, and great performances in heavy, heavy supply.
I only hope that Sam Barlow's next project can continue this momentum he's built up to this point.
8/10, would waste another hour on a rigged game of Solitaire

The plot was too easy to figure out which made the game too easy
I'm not sure what I can say about this one.
This felt much more than Her Story, there's multiple sets, many more characters and more story threads to chase down.
And as it's set more recently than Her Story (which just uses a fixed camera in an interview room), there are different types of camera being used liked mobile phones, webcams. It makes the game feel more lively and more real. My wife wanted to know if they game had just come out as it seemed weird to her that the characters were video chatting this much (are they all in quarantine?).
The interface is more modern too, though beyond the astethics there's not too much different. You can bookmark and now tag clips. Probably the biggest difference is that you get very long clips, sometimes 8-10 minutes long versus the very quick chunks in the previous game. But weirdly you only get that person's side of the conversation (if it's a web chat) and need to find the other person's side of the conversation to understand the full clip. There's no option to play two clips at the same time, which would have been handy when you find the matching clips. Instead if one of the characters goes on a bit of a monologue you'll need to fast forward through the other character nodding and eyebrowing.
It took me a while to realise this though. I'd often hit keywords at the end of a clip and not understand that I could rewind it. It's a shamne that there's not a "Play from start" option.
I think the mystery and aha moment in Her Story was much more impactful than here. I feel like there's supposed to be a couple of twists in this one but the first one I got to maybe far to early, so it wasn't so much an "Aha" moment as "oh right, so".
But while the story isn't as clever, it feels more relevant to things that are happening now... so...
One part was quite shocking (I suppose two parts are), but the way at least that I moved through the clips I always could follow the story, so that's good right?
I dunno, I'm a sucker for these and so your mileage may vary, but if you liked Her Story, then I can't see why you wouldn't like this one too.

This some ass lmao
Tomando como base Her Story Sam Barlow va más allá con este sucesor espiritual. Sigue siendo una historia a la que se entra sin saber nada y que el jugador tiene que descubrir buscando vídeos con palabras clave, esta vez más accesible para bien y para mal.
Cool concept, but too hard to follow for me. Felt like I had ADD for 3 hours... although, maybe I do?
Too slow and awkward.
I'm always interested by fmv games so I decided to download this when I got game pass. I think it's an interesting game with how it's structured but it didn't overly feel satisfying to play. I would at sometimes get intrigued during my 2 hour playtime but it would be hard to find out more from a specific plot point so I'd just click around randomly. I am happy though I never felt like there was nothing to do except from the start were I was completely lost. I'd recommend if you have game pass as it is around 2 hours but it didn't stand out as anything special to me.
Completed with 100% of achievements unlocked. Picking up on this as we approach the release of Immortality, as a follow-up to Her Story, Telling Lies once again has a strong concept at its core, casting the player in a detective role, presented with a database of short video clips from which to figure out the circumstances leading up to a crucial – but initially unknown – event. Each clip shows us one side of a video conversation primarily involving four core individuals, with the other side of the conversation also recorded. The challenge comes from the limited manner in which the database can be interrogated, with searches referring to the words spoken in each clip, but only ever returning a maximum of five results.
The underlying ‘mystery’ is an interesting one to figure out and the detective approach ensures a strong level of engagement (it’ll be hard to make progress if you’re not following the events/discussions) and the acting is of a good calibre. However, in practice overall it’s not as strong as might be hoped, as the one-sided view that we get of each discussion can become somewhat frustrating to try to follow (though I know that this is, at least to an extent, by design) and there are often long periods of silence as the other participant is speaking. There’s also a fair amount of ultimately fairly trivial videos, as well as unnecessary interface frustrations such as the inability to quickly start a clip from the beginning (by default, the clip starts playing from the queried words). The presentation here is more polished than Her Story and sees some quality-of-life improvements, but they’re not able to offset some of the negatives inherent in the concept – the ability, for example, to pair up conversations – only once you’ve located both within the database, to maintain the challenge – would be a great help, for example!

Eu sla o que a Annapurna queria com isso, saber que os finais são determinados pelos vídeos que tu viu em geral é meio meh
É interessante ainda sim o jeito que é contado seja lá o que tu quer saber
O jogo tem trama de tudo, é só caçar o vídeo na RETINA, gostei muito do plot da Michelle
Presumo que a ideia não era necessariamente contar uma história, mas mostrar a obsessão do jogador em caçar informações pífias e mínimas a custo da própria liberdade e tempo, uma vez que tu tem acesso a privacidade alheia e pode descobrir os segredos mais obscuros e sujos das pessoas, mesmo que seja algo normal como outra filha ou até mesmo a morte de um espião que foi calar o bico de uma prostituta
A trilha sonora é pika, uma pena que eles meio que fizeram ela dinâmica então quando tu não acessa um novo vídeo fica um baita silêncio no jogo
É interessante como isso consumiu muito do meu tempo quando eu tava jogando de boas, e foi tranquilo quando eu só fui miletar

Not as good as Her Story but still interesting experience.
Tried it straight after the Her Story game. Was excited for this. Looked as if it was more interesting than the first one. I like this detective stuff. Although I shelved it for now. There were other games which took my interest so maybe I'll come back to it eventually.
Após ter jogado Her Story é claro que eu viria com grandes expectativas para Telling Lies. Felizmente as minhas expectativas não passaram longe de serem atendidas e me vi aqui experienciando uma obra tão bem trabalhada quanto o jogo anterior de seu autor, com apenas alguns pequenos tropeços, mas que acredito não arruinarem a obra como um todo.
Seguindo a mesma lógica que Her Story, temos aqui um sistema que resgata vídeos de um banco de dados através de palavras chaves pesquisadas pelo próprio jogador. É através dele que vamos mergulhando mais e mais nos diversos vídeos que parecem ter sido tirados em sua maioria das webcams dos personagens, geralmente durante suas “calls”. Não consumimos esses clipes em ordem cronológica mas como já era de se esperar, além dessa maneira render boas teorias, também nos confere uma série de descobertas e indagações imprevisíveis e que clamam por mais contexto, principalmente se levarmos em consideração que, por serem clipes tirados de ligações, existem mais de um verso daquela conversa. Isso adiciona ao jogo uma dinâmica de caçar o outro lado daquele diálogo.
Telling Lies conta uma história maior em escopo e que aborda assuntos grandes em escala, e ao começar a entender a trama é impossível não enxergar as semelhanças com a nossa realidade, com o caso de Edward Snowden, o ex-contratado da NSA responsável de por volta de 2013 ter vazado informações sobre os vários programas de vigilância global usados pela Agência de Segurança Nacional dos Estados Unidos, só com essas informações, já dá para entender (sem muitos spoilers) os artifícios usados pelo enredo para o desenvolver de sua narrativa.
No fim, o único ponto que acho não ter casado tão bem assim foram as atuações de dois dos quatro personagens principais. De um lado temos Logan Marshall-Green que exagera em suas reações, com expressões faciais um tanto forçadas, e do outro temos a Angela Sarafyan que parece não entregar tanta vida e verdade em sua atuação, honestamente não sei até isso culpa dela ou da escrita. Em contrapartida vale mencionar o quão sensacional é a atuação das atrizes Alexandra Shipp e Kerry Bishé que brilham e cativam com as outras duas personagens de destaque.
Foi muito agradável acompanhar toda a trama e, ao seu fim, me vi ainda interessado ao ponto de voltar e procurar por mais algumas informações que pudessem saciar o meu eu investigador (ou fofoqueiro).

Searching for videos, putting together pieces of the puzzle is brilliant.
Watching one sided video calls, half of which is a character staring at the screen occasionally raising one eyebrow on the other hand... Poorly thought out.

Everyone in the Telling Lies universe sleeps with the lights on.
Enjoyed Her Story plenty when I played it on Steam a few years back. Enjoyed this spiritual sequel a little less, and it's easily the weakest game in the Annapurna collection so far. That's a bummer, because the scope and idea here are fairly ambitious! Like in Her Story, gameplay consists of entering search queries into a database and watching video clips that contain certain words or phrases. So in one sense you're just watching little fragments of a six-hour movie out of order. The problem is twofold. One, most of the clips are just one side of a two-way Skype or Facetime conversation, which means every time you find a five-minute clip, about two and a half minutes of it are silent reaction shots. I'd have appreciated the option to merge the two sides of any given conversation together upon finding a pair! Alas. And two, the entire point of the game is just to unravel what exactly is going on and how the various characters interact. Once you get the gist of the story, the entire rest of the game is just fleshing out details and filling in gaps, many of which aren't particularly compelling. It's cool that games like this exist and they make for interesting experiences, but the well already feels somewhat dry for this particular Sam Barlow game type.
Amazing game, however
holy shit
the rewind is so slow with no additional speed options... just one... really... really... slow speed...
but it is definitely a really neat followup to "Her Story" which I truly loved a lot as well.

Interessante modo di raccontare una (in realtà molteplici) storie, in cui la scelta del percorso da seguire è totalmente in mano allo spirito investigativo del giocatore. Il gameplay loop è semplicissimo: cerca un termine nel motore di ricerca, ottieni i video che hanno quel termine nel dialogo dei protagonisti, vedi il video e ripeti da capo.
Peccato per la mancanza di un sacco di feature che avrebbero reso più godibile l'esperienza:
Un pulsante per far partire il video dall'inizio invece che dal punto in cui dicono la parola cercata. Un modo per visionare entrambi i lati di una conversazione in contemporanea una volta che vengono scoperti entrambi).
Al netto di ciò la trama funziona, proprio in virtù del fatto che venga scoperta dal giocatore in maniera autonoma. Allo stesso tempo ho il sospetto che chi non riesca a scoprire il "finale" entro il tempo limite rimarrà deluso da una storia che sembra non andare da nessuna parte.

Un nuevo episodio vouyeur de Sam Barlow que, si bien no es tan rompedor como su anterior juego, Her Story, sí que parece una evolución con más recursos que este.
Telling Lies is a "detective game at heart." Telling Lies is a game where the story isn't told in a linear fashion. The story is told via the player watching pre recorded video clips of conversations between various characters. The player has to uncover the video clips by typing keywords into a search engine on a simulated computer. It's up to the player to piece the story together and the game definitely doesn't hold the players hand in that process.
Personally I felt like the game was carried by the casts strong acting performances. The acting wasn't over the top, and I was captivated by the mystery of uncovering exactly what happened to each character and their ultimate fate.
I played Telling Lies via Xbox Gamepass on my Series X and I think my only gripe with the game was that l probably would have enjoyed it more if I used a keyboard instead of my controller to type in the keywords I was searching. If you enjoy games that require you to think and put your detective skills to use this is probably a game I would recommend to you. It's on Gamepass so you really don't have anything to lose. I enjoyed my time with it. If you're familiar with the game "Her Story" this game is its successor.

Famosa ideia melhor que produto final, não foi muito bom, mas não foi um inferno também.
This review contains spoilers
Mixed feelings about this one. It was very well produced and the acting was almost flawless. The concept was fresh and we soon got into the swing of pinning the story threads together. However, the game never really indicated what we were meant to be doing (we went into the game blind). And then the game just ended. I understand it's difficult to finalise the game without breaking the immersion, but it got to 5AM and we uploaded the videos and then got an ending - I wasn't even aware it was an ending, in fact, I thought we'd failed. I'm not sure exactly where the game was or what agency we had as players.
For my two cents, it would've been nice to have had perhaps some emails within the game world with a little bit of direction and to show progress - or how close we were to the deadline. Maybe just directing us as to what we were looking for. It was just a bit muddled, but I applaud the team for the fresh thinking and the progress - I think the next iteration will hit it.

+ Active role in uncovering story
+ Compelling story and great actors
+ Little framing device touches (reflections, desktop, etc)
- Inability to watch clips from beginning is frustrating
- Watching half of conversations; too much dead air
- Doesn't push beyond what "Her Story" accomplished
If you enjoy FMV games then this is worth the play through - especially if you find it on sale or through game pass/ps plus premium/ etc.
this game really makes you think about your internet safety and areas of morally gray decisions. It takes time to get used to staring at someone talking like it’s at you. So you feel invasive and uncomfortable. Especially some of the conversations.
The controls are pretty simple. The cursor snaps around to fields you can click if you use a controller and it feels odd if your not used to the cursor snapping back to a spot or jumping to a new one.
Some helpful hints for someone trying to get all trophies/ achievements. If you bookmark every video you can track how many you watched easily and there are lists online you can match up dates to see what you missed. You can also use the info ( “i” icon) too. There are 170 videos I had 169 in my info icon based off what I read online but missed one and had to search through everything to find - confirmed it shows 170 in the info field and I got the trophy (you have to sit through the unskippable end credits to get it to count so if miss any you’ll keep having to watch the ending and credits again). The good thing is if you miss one you go back to right before you download the videos.
I had to use a list of keywords to find some of the videos there’s just so many to find.
Some challenges - when you find a video it plays at the moment of a keyword. If you are interested in the storyline you have to slowly rewind there’s no way to start at the beginning of videos. This is annoying since you search based on keywords and there are videos that the last seconds start and you have to go back and watch it all.
It’s hard to follow because you are watching videos as you find them. Even using obviously signals like David’s facial hair of understand the timeline, it doesn’t fully help. The whole telling lies felt missing - because you’re skipping around it’s hard to catch the deceit to the right extent. I read a guide after completing and missing some of the events that happened which made me annoyed spending so much time finding all the videos. And I may have missed watching all the videos in their entirety which made it easy of miss it.
The searching is tedious the first part it was interesting but I kept forgetting keywords. My play style was to watch all 5 videos in my keyword search but that meant having to jot down other words I wanted to search later. I most often used the keyboard search function instead of the selection in the video because I didn’t want to rewatch the same videos and track down the word in the subtitle.
It might be better to play a different way but you’ll have to make a note of searches to repeat.
It would have been nice once you searched a keyword top the five videos were grouped together in a folder. You can see your history but you have to click through them all over again. I also think the videos should auto tag your keywords as you searched and they came up in the 5 viewable. The tagging feature is too much work. I only used it for the trophy and it’s a lot of work to add new ones, and assign them. And go go that for even 100 videos would double / triple play time.
It also would have been cool to offer an option to play all videos in chronological order especially if you found all of them. I’d be interested in seeing that. Maybe it’s on YouTube.
Anyway - I’m giving it a generous 3.5 stars for the story / acting / using FMV technique.

Umm what
like her story, the frame used to uncover the story is unique and engaging. unlike her story, the narrative you uncover is not nearly as gripping.
I didn't know that this existed until very recently. But I got it anyway cause I saw it was made by the same folks that made Her Story and I remembered loving that when I played it as a teen. This game, probably unnecessarily so, had me going into full detective mode. Probably didn't help that I didn't know what I was getting into when it came to the story, but I enjoyed the experience overall. I do think that it was a little bloated and in the grand scheme of things there could've been a couple things that were left out and be better for it.
TLDR: Enjoyed playing through it, but not as good as Her Story.

I love the idea of them finding an archive of all my zoom calls over the last few years. In this, Tesco Value Tom Hardy's records depict his self-destructive obsession with his job, the brutal rage that lives beneath the surface of his "I'm just an old-fashioned nice dude" demeanour and how both destroy the lives of those around him. If you looked at my records, you'd find me and my buddy having a heated argument about our personal fruit squash tier lists and witness me trying to line my interactive background up so it looks like I'm standing next to Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sam Barlow's probably dropping everything to draft up a Telling Lies 2 right now.
O jogo é horrivel...
So isso mesmo. A platina é bem de boa (fiquei uma hora pra ganhar o troféu do jogo de cartas)
