In a world saturated with video games, finding a truly unique title can be challenging. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its compelling narrative. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure boasts a story that's as captivating as its gameplay.
My Father Lied: An Indie Developer's Vision
The game's creation story is fascinating. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, initially pursued a career in writing and filmmaking. A collaborative game project with a college friend fell through, but the core story remained. Alameen, driven by his vision, independently learned 3D modeling and Unreal Engine, ultimately bringing his concept to life. Even the game's title 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 narrative unfolds, proves far from straightforward.
Blending 7,000 years of Mesopotamian culture with modern storytelling, the game offers a unique blend of ancient lore and contemporary narrative. The intuitive point-and-click gameplay, coupled with stunning 2D visuals and 360-degree imagery, enhances the immersive experience.
