My Father Lied: Unveiling a Father's Mystery – Launching May 30th
Unravel the mystery surrounding your father's disappearance in My Father Lied, the debut point-and-click adventure game from writer and filmmaker Ahmed Alameen. Launching May 30th, this solo-developed title blends captivating storytelling with challenging puzzles, drawing inspiration from Mesopotamian history.
Step into the shoes of Huda, a young woman embarking on a quest to uncover the truth behind her father's vanishing twenty years prior. The discovery of a previously unknown brother adds a new layer to the enigma, propelling Huda's investigation.
Alameen, initially collaborating on the project, took the reins after the team dissolved, mastering game design to bring his vision to life.
Gameplay revolves around classic point-and-click mechanics, requiring players to explore richly detailed environments, piece together fragmented images, decipher codes, and more. The game's aesthetic, described by Alameen as a fusion of Myst, Heaven's Vault, and the chilling prose of H.P. Lovecraft, creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.
Alameen's innovative approach to visual design utilizes a combination of 2D and 360-degree imagery, even in the meticulously crafted, frame-by-frame cutscenes. This technique ensures stunning visuals while maintaining compatibility with lower-end PC hardware.
My Father Lied will be available on May 30th for $10.99/€ on the App Store, Google Play, and Steam. Add it to your Steam Wishlist now! Mobile pre-registration isn't yet available.
