Intriguing Myst and Lovecraft-Inspired Puzzle "My Father Lied" Arriving on Android

In today's saturated gaming market, finding a truly unique title can be a challenge. However, My Father Lied stands out with its captivating narrative and intriguing gameplay. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure offers a compelling 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 suggested a collaborative game project, but the team ultimately disbanded, leaving the project unfinished.

Undeterred, Alameen pursued the story independently, teaching himself 3D modeling and Unreal Engine to realize his vision. Even the game's title was a collaborative effort with his wife.

The Game's Story: A Mesopotamian Mystery

The game plunges players into a mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, filled with secrets, puzzles, and surprises. Players take on the role of Huda, a young woman grappling with a twenty-year-old question: what happened to her father? Unraveling the answer proves to be far from straightforward.

Drawing inspiration from 7000 years of Mesopotamian culture, My Father Lied blends ancient lore with modern storytelling. The gameplay features simple point-and-click mechanics, avoiding complex controls, and boasts beautiful 2D visuals and 360-degree imagery.
