unlabelledView post →[thinks about Telling Lies] They should pay Sam Barlow a lot of money to make the FMV Halt & Catch Fire Missing Season game and give us the interactive multimedia cd-rom Cameron and Donna toxic yuri payoff we deserve.
unlabelledView post →Obviously I’ve written an actual book about IMMORTALITY (more on which *very* soon) but Telling Lies is a wildly underrated game, full of fascinating frictions - and a quartet (at least) of great performances. Perhaps the Metroid Prime-iest game of Sam’s oeuvre?
unlabelledView post →TRUMP AND HIS ENTIRE ENTOURAGE SHOULD BE TRIED AS TRAITORS TO THE COUNTRY. BY TELLING LIES, NOW ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE, THEY ARE SUPPORTING THE RIGHT-WING IN A DANGEROUS GAME OF BRINKMANSHIP, ONLY IN THE NAME OF VESTED INTERESTS.
unlabelledView post →I'd love a (detective or adventure) game about identifying a snitch using activist heuristics. Telling Lies was like "what if Spycops but Green Scare, and 'ecoterrorism' is bad, actually" lmfao, but I liked the desktop UI.
unlabelledView post →Immortality (2024, PS5) Rating: 7/10 An interesting experimental FMV title from Sam Barlow (“Her Story”, “Telling Lies”). There are some unsettling and cryptic moments, and one really arresting sequence. But the game as a whole doesn’t add up to much. Some extremely hot men on display, at least. 😅
unlabelledView post →Sam Barlow; he did another one where you have two sides of a conversation and had to match each part together - Telling Lies. Again, the premise doesn't do the game justice, which goes into spies, camgirls and conspiracies.
unlabelledView post →Plat #222 = Telling Lies. FMV game that has an interesting story but I disliked the gameplay & after 20 mins I just used a guide. Plat #223 & #224 = Drunken Fist. 223 was a rental but thought it was funny enough I bought it (it was on sale at the time). Controls terribly on purpose. #trophyhunting

unlabelledView post →Super excited for this! Next game from the maker of Her Story, Telling Lies and Immortality!
unlabelledView post →Telling Lies knocked on the head. Found the stupidly obtuse tags button at the very end of the game. Received a completely different report (replete with new ending scene) by clearing the last eleven videos I missed first time around, so, uh, not really sure what the point of that was.
unlabelledView post →Finally getting around to Telling Lies, which has been sitting in my backlog for years. Good game, but the interface is killing me. Also, is this canon?
unlabelledView post →That was a throwback because I haven't heard anyone talk about that game in a while. I like text based discovery games, but I think I lean more towards interfaces/set up to be more like Telling Lies (which I have played multiple times).
unlabelledView post →I loved Her Story! I think I remember downloading Immortality when it first came out but I got distracted by something else that released around the same time. I should try get around to it at some point. Never checked out the game that came in between either (Telling Lies I think?)
unlabelledView post →Loved this game and its cousins Telling Lies and Immortality
unlabelledView post →Immortality made me rethink how a game narrative could be delivered (though the groundwork had already been laid by Telling Lies and Her Story before it)
unlabelledView post →Finally played @halfmermaid.co 's Immortality and locked in for 20 hours of raw and emotional detective work. I am so glad I played this. It's the soul follow-up to Her Story and Telling Lies. The story's scale is both staggering and contained, and the narrative design was sublime. A masterpiece 🌟
unlabelledView post →He really did amazing! He's great in Prometheus, also The Invitation. And just realised he's in Sam Barlow's Telling Lies game. Also, the car design in Upgrade, some of the UI, Cyberpunk 2077 devs were watching this movie 🍿
unlabelledView post →29. Telling Lies. A really cool game made with live footage cut out of order. Piece together the story by searching for key words.
unlabelledView post →As for Sam Barlow, I think Telling Lies didn't bring anything new to the basic formula. However, Immortality aims to be a video game experience, and in that sense, I find it quite successful!

unlabelledView post →#365games 343 - Telling Lies released in 2019. This is a mystery FMV game that is played by browsing through videos and text on a fake computer. It is an interesting take on a game. One of a line of similar games from Sam Barlow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telling... www.mobygames.com/game/133460/...
unlabelledView post →(Oh, whoops! Same guy, third game. Haven't done Telling Lies yet, so I hadn't gotten there yet.)
unlabelledView post →Just finished Firewatch. An excellent example of a focused story game with intuitive controls, excellent writing and voice performances and satisfying gameplay. I'll put this up with "Her Story" and "Telling Lies" and I'd love to her some recommendations for similar games. #gaming
unlabelledView post →IT'S A *PUZZLE* GAME. ONE OF THE GREATEST, MOST STYLISH AND FUN *PUZZLE* GAMES. 10/10 IT'S NOT A VISUAL NOVEL. STOP TELLING LIES. IT'S MORE OF A FIGHTING GANE THAN A VN. GET OUT OF HERE. ALSO, THE REMAKE HAS A GREAT LEVEL PACK, BUT HORRIBLE STORY ADDITIONS. PLAY THE ORIGINAL FIRST.

unlabelledView post →In what seems to be becoming a habit, I have finished a game only days before it leaves #GamePass. This time it's #TellingLies, which I didn't notice until I was halfway through #Immortality, also by Sam Barlow. They are unusual games, and not everyone will like searching through video clips or going down rabbit holes to find new links, but it's right up my street. I love the 'aha' moment when a new piece of the puzzle fits into place. #PCGames #SamBarlow
