My Father Lied is a story driven mystery puzzle game that tells the story of Huda, who finds herself following an unfathomable secret regarding her father’s 20 years’ disappearance.
FEATURES
“MY FATHER LIED”’s story is inspired by 7000 years of history from Mesopotamia, or as the kids call it these days, Iraq.
The gameplay is simple enough in terms of control, with elements of point and click that will help you explore, learn what’s happening, and progress your way, one puzzle at a time.
MY FATHER LIED does have a unique developing approach, in which 2D and 360 degree images are used in the game, including cut-scenes which are done frame by frame. This results in a graphically appealing game that can work well on low spec devices.
The soundtrack was carefully and passionately composed to elevate the story’s emotional impact at some key events in the game, and in other instances are played with the puzzle segments while staying true to the tone of the story.
The story is full of twists that will keep the players guessing and second guessing every time they progress.
Think MYST, HEAVEN’S VAULT, and H. P. LOVECRAFT, and you got MY FATHER LIED.
HISTORY
I was starting to establish myself as a writer/filmmaker, and just after getting funded on Indiegogo for a comic book series in 2020, I received a call from an old college mate who started to learn how to make games, and he wished I could write a story for him. I told him I’ll get back to him when I have an idea.
At that time, I was reading a lot of Mesopotamian related books and articles. Later, maybe after a week, I came across something that ignited the story. We communicated and I told him the idea. Later our team grew to 5 members, but then a couple of months later, the band broke-up.
The idea, however, stayed with me and I couldn’t let it go. That’s how I knew that this story should definitely be told. So to quote Thanos, I decided to do it myself. I learned 3D modeling, and then Unreal Engine. I was already a musician, and a writer, which are the main infinity stones needed to make a game. But the final infinity stone came much later, while I was brainstorming title names with my wife. And that’s how MY FATHER LIED was born.
