In a world brimming with video games, finding a truly unique experience can be challenging. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its captivating narrative and intriguing blend of mystery and Lovecraftian elements. This puzzle adventure game boasts a compelling backstory and even more compelling gameplay.
My Father Lied: An Indie Developer's Vision
The game's creation story is as fascinating as the game itself. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, initially pursued writing and filmmaking. A collaborative game project with a college friend fell through, but the core story remained. Driven by his vision, Alameen independently mastered 3D modeling and Unreal Engine, ultimately bringing his concept to life. Even the title itself resulted from a collaborative brainstorming session with his wife.
Unraveling the Mystery
My Father Lied plunges players into a captivating mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths. 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, proves far more intricate than she could have imagined.
The game masterfully intertwines ancient Mesopotamian lore with modern storytelling. The intuitive point-and-click gameplay, coupled with stunning 2D visuals and immersive 360-degree images, creates a truly unique gaming experience.
