Mesopotamian Adventure Unlocks with "My Father Lied" in May

by Brooklyn Feb 08,2025

Unravel the mystery of your father's disappearance in My Father Lied, a captivating point-and-click adventure game launching May 30th!

Ahmed Alameen, a writer and filmmaker, presents his debut title: a narrative-driven puzzle game inspired by Mesopotamian history. Step into the shoes of Huda, a young woman who embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind her father's vanishing twenty years prior, a mystery further complicated by the revelation of a previously unknown sibling.

Alameen, initially collaborating with a classmate, took on the project solo after their partnership dissolved, mastering game design to bring his vision to life. The gameplay involves classic point-and-click mechanics, challenging you to piece together images, decipher codes, and explore stunning, albeit uniquely rendered, environments. The game blends the atmospheric charm of Myst and Heaven's Vault with the chilling undertones of H.P. Lovecraft's literary works.

Alameen's innovative approach utilizes a mix of 2D and 360-degree imagery, even in the meticulously crafted, frame-by-frame cutscenes. This technique delivers high-quality visuals optimized for even low-spec PCs.

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.
