Her Story Reviews

Brilliant story, acting, game mechanism. I personally enjoyed all Sam Barlow games including this, Telling Lies, and Immortality, but this one is probably the best.

Before trying it I thought i would spend at most 3,4 minutes in this game, but after a few videos played me and two friends got really hooked in the story. very nice experience.

Just fantastic. Satisfying gameplay and a good story and decent replay value as well.

Her Story presents such a unique way to unravel a story. Having things unfold completely based on your own curiosity and what you decide to search up means that you can come up with your own predictions and have a revelation made in a way that is unique to you. Although the criticism could be made that it isn't much of a "game", if the story manages to intrigue you, then you will be hooked all the way until the end. Great to play with a friend or group as well! Everyone can guess what to search up next and predict how the story will unfold. A fun little experience to go through (especially if you can snag it on sale).

this game has been like a second job for the past few days. it has stood the test of time and is still an enjoyable experience a decade later

I usually don't recommend games, but this one is amazing, it doesn't have a proper ending, as the ending itself is YOUR interpretation of the events. I played with my friend over a weekend and we both had different outcomes, was quite nice to discuss and try to see each other's view and analysis. Also, this actress deserves an award for her act.

Her story is an experience i highly recommend going in blind, with the least amount of external help possible. The way this game shines is on the theory crafting you make while playing it, and how the game naturally leaves you on the trail to discover the main story without much difficulty. The main premise is you're investigating an old case that goes way deeper than meets the eye, I spent these 5 hours playing this game paying so much attention, and got really invested in the story. The only thing I didn't like that much is 100%ing the game after finishing it, kiiinda tedious... [h2] 9,5! [/h2]

I AM SHOOK, THIS WAS SO GOOD! I had to finish it in one sitting because I was completely absorbed by this game all evening. If you're like me (binge reads thrillers and enjoys puzzles, mystery, crime, storytelling) then this game is for you! I recommend going in blind.

My wife doesn't play games and I thought this could be a fun cooperative experience for us. We were both engrossed for the 2 hours and change we played through it, several times exclaiming as a big reveal happened and the story unfolded. Think of it as a fun alternative to renting a movie and as a personal murder mystery party.

Her Story turned out to be an excellent game to play together with someone. Mechanically, the game gives you access to a series of interviews conducted with a suspect in a murder case. The catch is that the interviews are cut into roughly 10-second-long pieces, and you can’t access them directly. Instead, you must use text search to find all the pieces containing a given word or phrase in the subtitles. To add to the challenge, you can only see the first five videos returned, so searching for something like “the” won’t get you very far. You don’t have any specific goal in the game, but naturally, you want to watch all the pieces, reconstruct the interviews, and piece together what happened. We stuck to a simple yet effective flow: watch the found videos, jot down any words that catch our attention, search for those words, and repeat the process. As I said, the game is ideal to play together. For one, the videos are short and easy to digest, and since the game requires little direct interaction, both players get essentially the same experience. Moreover, you can divide the tasks—one person keeps track of the words to search, while the other operates the game. This way, both players stay engaged, making it a true team effort. Plot-wise, you won’t uncover a groundbreaking story, but it has its fair share of twists and turns. That said, the unique approach feels fresh and keeps you hooked until the very end.
