Telling Lies Hack 1.0.4 + Redeem Codes

Important Note: After over 10 hours play time, the game suddenly started crashing repeatedly on startup, impeding all further progress. I was driven mad trying to figure out why and thinking I had lost all that time and might have to start over... I even came and wrote a one star review detailing this issue as unacceptable (which it would be)... BUT I figured out the issue has something to do with Bluetooth audio! I play almost all my iPad games with audio going through Bluetooth to my headset. Never had a problem with it. After I left my review here, I decided to try a few more random things to get the game to avoid crashing, and one of those things was turning off the iPad’s Bluetooth and viola, game started up and allowed me to continue playing without any further issue... WHEW!

Devs, please look into this as a possible need to patch; most people who experience a problem like this would likely not troubleshoot as much as I have to get around it.

Now that the problem is solved and the crashing has stopped, I’ve been able to return to playing with Bluetooth on and have happily been back to obsessing about these characters and this enrapturing story!

I pre ordered the game, mainly because I love mystery games and it seemed promising and an overall interesting concept. I started playing and the game play is pretty vague and you just kind of figure it out. Which isn’t bad, I’ve played games like this before. However, it can get a little boring and tedious. It’s hard to piece together the video calls when you can only hear one side of a conversation at a time. Like, I wish there was a way to see the video calls synced once you find the other half. Also, the forward and rewind process is ridiculously slow! Omg. I search a word and it brings me to the end of 7 mins video call and it take me soooo long to rewind to the beginning. Most importantly though, I have no idea how to “win” this game. Like is there a real objective. There are no like check points or rewards for finding something out. Idk if I’m evening doing it right. It’s kind of irritating. I play for like 20 mins and then I get bored and frustrated and play another time. I wanna complete the game but it’s getting hard to keep my interest.

Overall, the concept seemed promising but the execution is not ideal. I want to like this game but I’m having hard time getting myself into it. Usually I’m hooked by this point with games like this. Maybe it’s just me? Hopefully I can complete the game and enjoy the work I put into. But I’m feeling doubtful.

Love the way the story unfolds between each player. However, like most players have stated the function to rewind and fast forward needs to have a 30 second function. It is just a tedious action when you need to go back or forward past a certain point.
However, it is a great game. Story superb. Actors and Actresses are on point. The game in all just needs the functionality of the game to be a little more fast paced.

I really liked Her Story, so I was really excited to play Telling Lies which has been on the top of my “to buy” list for a while now. Unfortunately, I’m finding it more tedious than Her Story. The interface is really confusing and I don’t like how certain clips start playing in parts where the key term you searched is mentioned (for example, the “ok, love you” clip in the very beginning) and when this happens, you have to rewind the entire clip, which is frustratingly slow. There is also conversations between certain people, and you have to piece them together because you can only listen to 1 side of them at a time (if you know what I mean) and figure it out. Some of the clips are awfully long, and have silent moments, which makes me become impatient. And unlike Her Story, you are unable to take notes and write down certain key terms.

I’m going to give it another chance later today, but I really hope that there is an update that resolves these issues. In the meantime, I recommend playing Her Story instead.

So far so good!!! I’m still trying to connect the dots to this masterpiece of a game. This is really for 17 and older honestly, but the stories by these characters conversations are interesting or either touching to some point. I had to read the directions on paper within the game to learn how to play because it could get a bit difficult putting the pieces together. The gameplay is awesome without any flaws, touch responsiveness is on par without any complaints, video quality is superb..no blurry effects (on iPhone 8 anyways) and the acting is very good also with smooth performance. More downloads and ratings needed for this gem!!

I really liked the first game, but this one requires you to sit and stare in silence for long periods of time as the on-screen character “listens” to whomever they’re video chatting with. I don’t have that kind of time to waste and it can be quite boring at times. Another annoyance was the fact that most of the videos did not start at the beginning, so before you could watch them, you have to rewind, which took too much time. It’s a bummer because I can tell a lot of thought and effort went into the game, but it was a waste of $6.99 for me because my “play-time” is limited and I don’t want to spend what little time I do have rewinding videos and staring at a silent screen.

Yeah. So the acting is great (despite the overacting done by Logan Marshall-Green’s eyebrows), and the storyline interesting albeit all over the place. That’s about where any fondness ends.

One man, three women, and hours wasted watching (really more time was spent rewinding, which has to be the most irritating aspect of the game) stories which never really collide. The goal of solving a mystery isn’t quite present, unlike ‘Her Story’, and it frankly ruins the game entirely. Very disappointing. And the endings? What utter crap. I almost feel more robbed seeing those endings than I did when there was no ending at all. Ugh.

And perhaps I missed something, but I didn’t see any way to jump to the beginning of a video without having to waste time on the slowest rewind feature since VHS. So annoying it made me want to give up several times (if I could have found a decent summary online, I would have quit solely for this reason like thirty minutes in).

Meh.

So I downloaded on my iPad (large file for videos I’m sure) at 11:00 at night “just to try it out.” Four hours later! Fun to try and match videos. I think I’ve got the overall story figured out, but still fun to see the “filler” videos. First challenge was trying to determine what was the first and the last video.

Problem: no sound on my iPhone8, but experience is better on iPad.

The game is good, and I had this game on my PC as well. On the mobile version, however, I can’t really rewind the videos very well. It’s possible, but slow and tedious. I’ll attempt it again and maybe come on here and change my review. There might be something I’m missing.

If I’m not, then it’s really disappointing, because the game itself is really good. As far as I can see, it’s only a mobile version issue with game mechanics.

Let me start off by saying that I was a big fan of Her Story.

This one just doesn’t do it for me. It’s great if you like watching a movie out of order while only hearing half the dialogue. You get to spend half of your time fast forwarding through 30 seconds of some dude making reaction eyebrows into the camera.

Once we’ve discovered both halves of a conversation, why can’t we play them simultaneously?
