Telling Lies

It was definitely a mistake to make us listen to each side of video conversation separately. It means half of the time I get bored by looking at the actor just staring into the camera, and when they talk, I still get frustrated, because it means I'd have to watch equally lenghty awkward pause in another half. It should be a normal dialog. Also, scrolling mechanism is terrible. You search for a term, find a video where it's mentioned at the end, spend a minute scrolling back to the beginning, then spend another ten to fifteen seconds scrolling forward until the character finally starts talking. At least there should be a way to quickly jump to the beginning of the video. Combined with the most important character being extremely unsympathetic almost from the beginning, and only going downhill from there, there isn't much to really enjoy.

The game is good, and I had this game on my PC as well. On the mobile version, however, I can’t really rewind the videos very well. It’s possible, but slow and tedious. I’ll attempt it again and maybe come on here and change my review. There might be something I’m missing. If I’m not, then it’s really disappointing, because the game itself is really good. As far as I can see, it’s only a mobile version issue with game mechanics.

This game really sucked me in. It’s been a long time since I stayed up too late playing a game, but I really came to want to know about the characters and unravel the mystery.
