Telling Lies is a series of one-sided conversations. You play as a woman whose motives are initially unclear and who has been given access to an archive of secretly recorded video calls taken from the laptops and mobile phones of four very different people. When the game begins you know nothing about them. These troubled souls are complete strangers to you and their lives are a mystery.

But by the end you’ll know them intimately, and will have uncovered a series of shocking truths about their lives. Well, in theory. Because some of these people are, as the title suggests, liars. Separating fact from fiction is at. Like that game, your interpretation of the plot is determined by which clips you find in your playthrough, and the order you view them in.
