In a world saturated with games, finding a truly unique title can be a challenge. My Father Lied, however, stands out with its captivating narrative. This mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure boasts 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 originally aiming for a career in game development. In 2020, he was building a reputation as a writer and filmmaker. A collaborative game project with a college friend fell through, but the story remained with him.

Alameen, undeterred, embarked on a solo journey, teaching himself 3D modeling and Unreal Engine to bring his vision to life. Even the game's title was a collaborative effort with his wife.

Unraveling the Mystery: The Game's Plot

The game itself plunges players into a mystery steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myths, brimming 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? The answer, as the story unfolds, proves far from straightforward.

Drawing inspiration from 7,000 years of Mesopotamian culture, My Father Lied 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.
