Her Story

[Ranked1_of_1]

Not sure if anyone else is interested (or even aware) of this game. I did a search but it didn't find anything. I've just listened to episode 96 of The Crate and Crowbar where they waxed lyrical about it.

It is a detetective game by Sam Barlow (Silent Hill) where you only have access to a police database that stores hundreds of video clips from a series of interviews with a woman about the disappearance of her husband. By utilising the search facility of the database you can search for keywords and find all sections of the interviews that contain those words. Each video clip returned is aprroximately 5-10 seconds long. As you learn more about the mystery the deeper you will be able to search.

A Guardian article that probably describes it better than I :

Currently has 87 on Metacritic. Out tomorrow and it looks like I'm the only one on here looking forward to it.

I have finished it as well. I loved it and was everything I hoped it was going to be. I would strongly suggest sitting down to play this for a couple of hours with a pen and paper beside you. The story will gradually unravel before you and as everyones thought process will be different the way the story unfolds will be unique to you.

Even after finishing the game I had questions and a few things I wasnt certain about - the game made me think about it long after I'd finished. I am now going through the videos in chronological order to complete the picture. It is a very clever game in my opinion. The writing is spot on.
