About This Game

The Lies We Tell Ourselves is an episodic first person psychological action-adventure game with introspective/horror elements and a focus on subtle storytelling and atmosphere.

KEY FEATURES

  • An action-adventure experience that can be enjoyed by horror and non-horror fans.

  • Each episode is a carefully crafted blend of narrative, puzzles, exploration and even boss fights.

  • A weird, rich story arc, with enough subtlety to let players build their own interpretation and meaning.

  • Challenging but fair puzzles that require observation, understanding and a bit of abstraction to be solved.

  • Mature and disturbing themes, but handled with respect and tact, rather than just for shock value.

  • Each episode offers around 2 hours worth of gameplay which builds on the main story arc.

A SUPERNATURAL STORY OF CHOICE AND CONSEQUENCE

Step into the world of Vincent Arno, a man whose comfortable life is shattered on his 27th birthday, when a mysterious presence challenges his true nature.

Explore Vincent's complex adult personality shaped by past choices, guiding him through a surreal introspective odyssey of self-discovery and moral ambiguity.

Uncover hidden truths in this thought-provoking adventure where the boundary between perception and reality is as fragile as the lies we tell ourselves.
