Barlow says even revealing the characters’ names fall into spoiler territory, so once again it will be up to you to make the connections and have those “ah ha” moments. You follow four characters and the relationships that they have with each other by searching the government database and watching their private exchanges on things like webcams. Instead, Barlow is creating more of a political thriller, but it is steeped in just as much mystery. This won’t be a crime detective case like Her Story. “You get that there is some impetus for having access to all this information.that there is a larger incident, that something bad and suspenseful has gone on that colors it all,” Barlow says. Telling Lies begins with you watching a woman run into a dark apartment and pull out a hard drive, which contains a stolen National Security Agency database with private video conversations of four people, to put into her laptop. We sat down with Barlow recently at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco to do our own sleuthing about what Telling Lies entails. It gives you a taste of the different tone and premise. Today Barlow released a brief teaser, which you can watch above, showcasing performances by Logan Marshall-Green, Alexandra Shipp, Kerry Bishé, and Angela Sarafyan. Barlow calls it, “bigger, messier, and more colorful.” His next game, which is not a direct sequel, but rather a spiritual one, takes a similar approach.
Barlow’s previous game, Her Story, had you searching a crime database by typing in keywords to discover what really happened in a fictional case. Sam Barlow is no stranger to the allure of a mystery.
