Her Story [Game Review]

from Game Warp · host Game Warp

Welcome to the first audio game review/discussion for Game Warp! This episode, we discuss and review 2015 interactive film video game Her Story which is a debut project developed by Sam Barlow. As their next game Telling Lies prepare to launch in a few days, we take a moment to look back at this starting point.  Her Story uses a database of video clips of an interrogation of a woman to search and solve an investigation of a missing man. Using live action film footage played primarily with British musician Viva Seifert as the missing man's wife, Her Story was originally known for its unconventional mechanics and strong narrative while being nominated and winning awards.  Both as first time players of this game, we discuss Her Story from its narrative to its actress down to its gameplay mechanics and more and whether its outstanding elements are shared by either of us.
