With this we should consign the term “interactive movie” to history’s dustbin, because movies can’t dream of offering audiences a narrative structure as intimate and involving as this: they’re just moving pictures. Her Story points to the future" 5/5, The Guardian Her Story is the critically acclaimed mystery game from Sam Barlow. Playing like an interactive true crime documentary, the game lets you go hands on with a police database full of live action video footage. It stars Viva Seifert, actress and one half of the band Joe Gideon and the Shark. How does it work? Her Story sits you in front of a mothballed desktop computer and logs you into a police database. Search through hundreds of video clips that cover seven interviews from 1994 in which a British woman is interviewed about her missing husband. Explore the database by typing search terms, watch the clips where she speaks those words and piece together her story. "Her Story is a beautiful amalgam of the cinema and video game formats... a remarkable achievement..." 90, The Washington Post "Profound, gripping live-action drama… sure to be discussed for years to come" 5/5, Digital Spy Unlike anything you've played before, Her Story is an involving and moving experience. One that asks you to listen.

I'm so looking forward to this being released in the U.S. It looks wonderful, and just my cup of tea. BTW, AppUnwrapper: Your reviews and walkthroughs are really a wonderful resource!

AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #6 AppUnwrapper, Jun 23, 2015 Glad to hear! Thank you. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #7 NOEN, Jun 23, 2015 I heard a little about this the other day. I didn't read much into it because I didn't want to end up reading any spoilers, but yea, there's definitely a "buzz" going around about it. I'll pick it up once it's done being "no longer available" in the US......im guessing tomorrow morning.

But if you need convincing, some reviews did a good job of avoiding spoilers, while some did not. :/ metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #9 metalcasket, Jun 24, 2015 Out now. This is right about the part where this thread blows up. Alright? Good. Also, might be worth pointing out that the game is still not available on PC. If you get this now, you're beating the PC crowd by about 7 hours. DO IT!

AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #15 AppUnwrapper, Jun 24, 2015 You could reach the "ending" in a few hours, but 100% completion will take longer. I actually started over to try for 100% completion and see if I missed any nuances the first time. Btw, I took out any photos with subtitles on them from my review, so it should be even more spoiler-free now.

Anilones Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2009 48 0 0 #17 Anilones, Jun 24, 2015 Only for those who have completed the game - question about content within rather than plot development: Spoiler Is the game scary? I have just started searching 'Watch' and 'Cellar' and I saw some image of a person, are there other instances like this as I'm not a fan of jump scares. AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #18 AppUnwrapper, Jun 24, 2015 Spoiler It doesn't go any further than that, don't worry. That's just your reflection. Important videos will cause that to happen. Anilones Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2009 48 0 0 #19 Anilones, Jun 24, 2015 Spoiler Great, I was afraid that the game would get a little supernatural and jumpy in parts. ironsam80 Well-Known Member Dec 14, 2010 1,151 34 48 #20 ironsam80, Jun 24, 2015 Hope they add auto-rotation. Few minutes in and i am really digging it but is uncomfortable to hold all the time the device (ipad) in my hands (specially on a game like this that have not to do anything with controlling or shooting something)!
