Myst-Like Lovecraftian Point-And-Click Puzzle My Father Lied Is Coming to Android This Year
In today's crowded gaming market, finding a truly unique game is a challenge. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its compelling narrative. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure boasts a captivating story that sets it apart from the competition.
My Father Lied: An Indie Developer's Vision
The game's creation story is fascinating. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, wasn't originally a game designer. In 2020, he was a writer and filmmaker. A college friend suggested a collaborative game project, but the team disbanded, leaving the project unfinished.
Undeterred, Alameen pursued the idea independently, 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 mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, brimming with secrets, puzzles, and surprises.
Players take on 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.
Drawing inspiration from 7,000 years of Mesopotamian culture, My Father Lied blends ancient lore with modern storytelling. The puzzles are simple point-and-click, avoiding complex controls, and feature beautiful 2D visuals and 360-degree imagery.
