Description

A real life crime story where you play detective.

"Her Story is one of the most entrancing experiences you can hope to find on mobile"
9/10, Pocket Gamer

"Its a murder case where youre in the detectives chair, a mystery where you make the running, and an engrossing experience from start to finish. With this we should consign the term interactive movie to historys dustbin, because movies cant dream of offering audiences a narrative structure as intimate and involving as this: theyre just moving pictures. Her Story points to the future"
5/5, The Guardian

Her Story is a fresh take on the police procedural from Sam Barlow, creator of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Aisle.

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.

"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

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.

Unlike anything you've played before, Her Story is an involving and moving experience. One that asks you to listen.

Customer Reviews

Deep Take on Interactive Storytelling (5 stars)
There are no explicit challenges in Her Story, just endless questions, answers, questions that occur to you as your dig through the labyrinth of video clips. Your only agency comes from a search bar, and surprisingly it's enough to make your experience feel personal and meaningful. This is interactive story at its most restrained, and it's surprisingly effective.

Truly a Wonder (5 stars)
Amazing.* What can I call a game like this? The genrelessness wonder of this game made me wanna buy it right aways.* If you like film this is definitely a game for you, artistry, God if you are human, let us say, if you have a sol, to hell with being a gamer,* if you like Art,* if you Ask yerself occasionally Why in fact yer here on Earth? Then yes this for you.***

Suspenseful, engaging and artful (5 stars)
You're hunched over a police computer and poring through old video interview tapes of a woman. A woman talking about the murder of a man named Simon. All you have to unravel this mystery is a search box.

I love the amount of restraint shown in this game. It makes you feel like a smart detective and it tells a very beautiful story that I wouldn't want to spoil for anyone.
