With a veritable mountain of video to sift through, and so many interesting possibilities to find, this is one interactive story that plays like a top-notch page-turner - you can't put it down until it's done. The live-action video really ups the emotional ante, because the dialog is surprisingly well-written, and is carried off perfectly by Logan Marshall-Green ( The O.C., Law & Order,) Kerry Bishe ( Scrubs, Halt and Catch Fire) and Alexandra Shipp (the X-Men franchise). Questions regarding activism, duty, and political and corporate corruption are at the forefront here, and none of them comes with an easy answer. Telling Lies brilliantly illustrates the moral gray area of government surveillance by putting you in the dubious position of invading people's private lives in the name of National Security. It's engrossing to play this game on a computer, but when you're playing on a console (especially the Switch), the drama feels a bit more intimate, which ratchets up the thrill and discomfort factor. It's definitely compelling watching people reveal their most private selves, but knowing you're not the intended recipient of these revelations is unsettling, and looking for ways to use these people's words against them is even more troubling. Depending on your feelings about voyeurism, this can be thrilling or highly uncomfortable.

Your job, as the game's anonymous protagonist, is to watch a series of video files, spying on private citizens' video chat in hopes of uncovering a terrorist plot.

Telling Lies has the emotional weight of a film or TV show drama, and while it pays nostalgic homage to the FMV (Full Motion Video) games of the 1980s, its themes regarding online communication and government surveillance couldn't be more contemporary. This second offering by veteran game designer Sam Barlow (creator of Her Story) is exceptionally well designed, written and acted. There are also complex examinations of topics through dialog revolving around concepts like loyalty, self-sacrifice, and patriotism. The game's complex moral themes are best suited to an adult audience since they're explored through mature, often difficult conversations about marriage, infidelity, and unplanned pregnancy. Videos include violence as characters shoot guns, commit acts of terrorism, are violently arrested by police, and even commit suicide.

One character is also described as a sex worker. Video clips contain infrequent but strong profanity (words like 'f-k,' 's-t,' and goddamn') and suggestive content in the form of revealing clothes on female characters, racy conversations, and implied masturbation. The storyline centers itself around voyeurism, privacy issues, and Internet security as players attempt to uncover a terrorist plot.
