In a world brimming with video games, finding a truly unique title can be a challenge. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its captivating narrative and intriguing gameplay. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure offers a compelling story that sets it apart from the crowd.
My Father Lied: An Indie Developer's Vision
The game's creation story is fascinating. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, wasn't initially aiming for a career in game development. In 2020, he was establishing himself as a writer and filmmaker. A collaborative game project with a college friend ultimately fell through, but the story remained.
Alameen, undeterred, embarked on a solo journey, teaching himself 3D modeling and Unreal Engine to bring his vision to life. Even the game's title was a collaborative effort with his wife.
Unraveling the Mystery: The Game's Narrative
The game plunges players into a captivating mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, secrets, puzzles, and unexpected twists.
Players assume the role of Huda, a young woman grappling with a twenty-year-old question: what happened to her father? The answer, as the story unfolds, is far from straightforward.
Blending 7000 years of Mesopotamian culture with modern storytelling, My Father Lied presents a unique blend of ancient lore and contemporary narrative. The puzzles are straightforward point-and-click, avoiding complex controls, and complemented by stunning 2D visuals and 360-degree imagery.
