"Mesopotamia-Themed Game 'My Father Lied' Launches in May"

Writer and filmmaker Ahmed Alameen is set to unveil his debut point-and-click adventure game, My Father Lied, on May 30th. This narrative-driven puzzle game draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Mesopotamian history, offering players a unique and immersive experience.

In My Father Lied, you step into the shoes of Huda, a young woman on a quest to unravel the mystery behind her father's disappearance two decades ago. The journey begins when Huda learns of a brother she never knew existed, prompting her to delve deeper into her father's secretive past.

Originally conceived as a collaborative project with a college classmate, Alameen took on the role of narrative designer. When the partnership dissolved, he embraced the challenge of learning game design to bring My Father Lied to life single-handedly.

As you navigate through the game, you'll use classic point-and-click mechanics to explore hauntingly beautiful environments and solve a series of intricate puzzles. From piecing together images to cracking codes, each challenge brings Huda closer to the truth. Alameen's creation is a blend of the atmospheric allure of Myst, the narrative depth of Heaven's Vault, and the eerie storytelling of H.P. Lovecraft's literary works.

To achieve high-quality visuals that can run smoothly on low-end PCs, Alameen opted for a creative approach, integrating both 2D and 360-degree images. This technique extends to the game's cutscenes, which are crafted frame by frame, enhancing the overall visual experience.

My Father Lied will be available for purchase on the App Store, Google Play, and PC via Steam starting May 30th, priced at $10.99/€10.99. You can add this captivating point-and-click puzzle adventure to your Steam Wishlist now, though mobile pre-registration is not yet available.
