There are a lot of videos to watch and a lot of those videos are well over 5 minutes. These clues are in the form of words that I can enter into a database to search the dialogue of other videos and start my journey down the rabbit hole of murder and deceit.Īnd all if this is great however there was one feature or lack thereof that became obvious very early on.

So when I read that 'Her Story' creator Sam Barlow had made another game featuring FMV I didn't hesitate to download it and this time I didn't have to check the old laptop specs because it was available on the switch! Straight away I was drawn into the challenge of finding clues in the five videos available to me at the start. Anyway I plugged the laptop into the TV and my wife and I payed it through and really enjoyed it. This was the first PC game I had downloaded since Rollercoaster tycoon in 2003. So I downloaded it onto my not gaming laptop. A few years ago I read about a game called 'Her Story' where you sifted through police interrogation videos to piece together a story and solve a murder. Read on to get a mini review but more importantly a handy hint. IT IS NOT CHEATING and if anything makes the game more enjoyable. It may even allow copy-paste.This review also contains INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW YOU CAN PLAY ANY IN-GAME VIDEO FROM THE START OF CLIP instead of halfway through, something you will want to do many times and an option that the game itself does not provide. I've heard playing on a different device via XCloud is much nicer since you need to do so much typing.

I personally played on Xbox with a controller and was not a fan. The game will take less than 2 hours easily using a guide, but could even be under an hour. I would like to thank Vudix for originally compiling the list of necessary search terms! To unlock all achievements, you will need to watch every single video in the game and screw around on the desktop for some miscellaneous achievements. You need to keep watching videos that you have not seen to progress toward the end of the game (this is tracked via the clock/time moving forward as you watch new things).

When you type in a word, it pops up videos where that word is said. To progress in the story, you use this database to look up search terms and watch videos of other live-action actors talking to the camera (like video calling). This strange game involves your live action character sitting at a desktop.
