This game uses its one-sided video-call mechanic brilliantly, with you wanting to fill in the gaps of conversation and linking the relationships of the wide cast of characters. It motivates you to even grab a piece of paper in front of the screen to track down the connections and effects of certain events in the plot. Sam Barlow & his team prove once more, that they own the FMV-genre by creating this gripping and thrilling mystery-adventure.

Sorry for snooping, but it looks like you haven't played Her Story yet and it's made by the same developer. Telling Lies definitely had a higher budget, but I thought Her Story was far more compelling. Definitely check it out when you get a chance.

@CmdrZander Thanks for reminding. I am currently implementing my backlog and immediately put in Her Story, as you reminded me. It's such a classic and it sits in my steam library for such a while. It would complement the three game path of Sam Barlow, as I played Immortality last year.
