A real life crime story where you play detective. ** Winner of 3 Bafta Awards, 2 IGF Awards, 3 GDC Awards, Best Narrative & Best Performance at The Game Awards 2015, The Grand Jury Award at IndieCade, Polygon's Game of the Year, SXSW Mobile Game of the Year, Webby Award for Best Mobile Game, 5 IMGA Awards and more! ** "Her Story is one of the most entrancing experiences you can hope to find on mobile" 9/10, Pocket Gamer "It’s a murder case where you’re in the detective’s 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 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.
Not worth the money
Was not what I expected! After it’s solved then what? It’s a waste.
United StatesNo ending
As others have said, there is no real ending. I wish I read the reviews before spending money but I didn’t want to come across spoilers. This could’ve been really cool but there is no closure. In the end, you’ve watched a bunch of videos and come up with an idea of what happened but you don’t get the satisfaction of finding out for sure.
United StatesKinda Disappointing
As a big adventure game fan I was quite looking forward to playing this. I think perhaps this game has been too hyped up. The writing and story are very hacky, and I think people must have just been so dazzled by the presentation and nonlinear unfolding that they assumed the writing was good? It’s not, it’s very soap opera-y and has nothing much to say about the themes it tries to evoke. The character at one point says “aren’t these all just stories anyways?” which I think we’re meant to consider some kind of profound thesis statement for the game? All well and good, but the game isn’t terribly interested in exploring why people lie to each other and themselves beyond a sutface level “idk this chick’s crazy lol.” Disappointing! Runs great and the search function was a fun hook. Sadly loses its luster when it becomes clear your interpretation/understanding of the footage do not factor into any mechanical aspect.
United StatesFun detective game
This game consists of watching old police videos and searching database by keywords to find clues. Easy and enjoyable. Try to figure out who did it and what the real story is.
United StatesAwful glitch
Maybe I did something wrong but how the game works is you write something and it will show you the first videos first. Too bad there’s a collection of video’s near the end where they all say yes but they won’t show since it shows the first and too bad there is literally no other word in that sentence. But that’s all they say so literally no matter what you do, you will never win. I think this a glitch only on mobile since writing “yes” doe’s nothing on mobile. I wasted 4 hours on a game you can’t even @00%
United StatesUnplayable on iPad Pro using Smart Keyboard folio
Bought this game about 3 years ago and still waiting for support for proper landscape orientation - listed on the official website as a “known issue” and “a fix is in progress” for the last 3 years. The app version history shows the last update was 6 years ago. Can we please get a fix for this or can I please get my money back?
United StatesGet it
Had to write a review. No perks to doing so like other games. I finished yesterday but I won’t really be done with this story for the rest of my life. People have been debating different pieces of it for five years. Yes the setup is unconventional in a world where everyone is used to being inundated with tasks and puzzles, but the simplicity of it only increases the mental challenge. Try it!
