Cosmic Horror Meets Enigmas - Myst-Like 'My Father Lied' Android Debut

In today's crowded gaming market, finding a truly unique title is a challenge. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its compelling narrative. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure boasts a story that's as captivating as its gameplay.

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 a writer and filmmaker. A college friend suggested a collaborative game project, but that team disbanded, leaving the project unrealized.

Alameen, however, couldn't let the story go. He independently learned 3D modeling and Unreal Engine, bringing his vision to life. Even the game's title was a collaborative effort with his wife.

Unraveling the Mystery: The Game's Narrative

The game plunges players into a mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, brimming with secrets, puzzles, and surprises. Players take on the role of Huda, a young woman haunted by a twenty-year-old question: What happened to her father? The answer, as the story unfolds, is far from straightforward.

Drawing inspiration from 7,000 years of Mesopotamian culture, My Father Lied blends ancient lore with modern storytelling. The gameplay features simple point-and-click mechanics, beautiful 2D visuals, and immersive 360-degree images.
