Lovecraftian Puzzle "My Father Lied" Arrives on Android

In a world brimming with video games, finding a truly unique title can be challenging. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its compelling narrative and intriguing gameplay. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure offers a captivating story that sets it apart from the crowd.

My Father Lied: An Indie Developer's Vision

The game's creation story is fascinating. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, wasn't initially aiming for a career in game development. In 2020, he was establishing himself as a writer and filmmaker. A college friend's suggestion to collaborate on a game led to an initial team, but the project ultimately fell through.

Undeterred, Alameen pursued the story independently, teaching himself 3D modeling and Unreal Engine to bring his vision to life. Even the game's title resulted from a collaborative brainstorming session with his wife.

Unraveling the Game's Mystery

The game's narrative plunges players into a mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, filled with secrets, puzzles, and unexpected twists.

Players assume the role of Huda, a young woman grappling with a twenty-year-old question: what happened to her father? As the story unfolds, the answer proves far more complex than anticipated.

Drawing inspiration from 7000 years of Mesopotamian culture, My Father Lied masterfully blends ancient lore with modern storytelling. The puzzles are user-friendly, employing a simple point-and-click interface, complemented by stunning 2D visuals and 360-degree imagery.
