Our take on Lying Souls
Its focus on a single family mystery limits the scope of the experience. The design gives narrative decisions, recordings, notes, and atmosphere priority over multiplayer interaction or a broader range of gameplay systems.
What is Lying Souls?
Lying Souls is a single-player story horror game presented in first person.
It follows an investigation into a family incident from long ago, which the protagonist was too young to understand at the time. Searching for clues reveals a cruel secret and the consequences surrounding it. The story is divided into different parts that gradually provide information about what happened. Smaller and larger decisions shape the course of the narrative, while the game leaves open whether everything will be discovered. Audio recordings, writings, and notes provide material for assembling the story. Random events occur at times and form part of the current narrative and gameplay.
