The Lies We Tell Ourselves

About This Game

The Lies We Tell Ourselves is a first person psychological action-adventure game with horror elements and a focus on subtle storytelling and atmosphere.

A SUPERNATURAL STORY OF CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES

Step into the shoes of Vincent Arno, a young man who has consciously embraced a life of comfort and convenience. Shielded by the sanctuary of his parents’ home, Vincent drifts through each day, unburdened by responsibilities or aspirations.

Yet, beneath a surface of self-proclaimed goodness, Vincent’s indifference to his own stagnant existence begins to crumble when a mysterious presence starts questioning his true nature.

Embark on a thought-provoking adventure as you discover the intricate layers of Vincent’s adult personality, as the result of choices he, or someone for him, made in the past.
Guide him through a web of false beliefs and hidden truths, on a introspective odyssey where perception of self, reality and morality dance on a castle of lies.

KEY FEATURES

• A carefully crafted blend of storytelling, puzzle solving, action sequences, stealth sections and even boss fights.
• A weird, rich story arc, with enough subtlety to let players build their own interpretation and meaning: everything is there for a reason, although the reason might not be immediately clear.
• Gameplay serving the story, not the other way around.
• Mature and disturbing themes, but handled with respect and taste, rather than just for shock value.
• No random cheap jumpscares, no puzzles for the sake of puzzles, no broken generators in the basement needing a fuse 😉
