Sam Barlow was traveling a lot. Following the success of his award-winning game Her Story, he found himself often using FaceTime or Skype to talk to his wife and kids. It got him thinking: what happens to a relationship when you’re living it through a device?
That question is the basis for his upcoming project, Telling Lies, a narrative game that examines how well you know those closest to you. “You know the extent to which, in a relationship with someone, you have an idea of who that person is,” he says. “But you can never truly know the extent to which that person truly knows themselves … This is very much an exploration of people not being honest with each other, people not being honest with themselves.”
