About the Game

A Video Game About a Woman Talking to the Police

Her Story is the award winning video game from Sam Barlow, creator of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Aisle. A crime fiction game with non-linear storytelling, Her Story revolves around 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 that’s logged into a police database of video footage. The footage covers 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.

Unlike anything you've played before, Her Story is an involving and moving experience. A game that asks you to listen.

I really enjoyed this one. Really rewards you for paying attention and piecing things together. I like that, even though there are answers, even after 100%ing the game there are still questions, doubts, hypotheses. Most detective games seem like they want you to have all the answers by the time the story is done.

The one downside of this game is that 100%ing is nowhere near as enjoyable or thought provoking as just finishing the story, whatever that means to you. Here, it's not so much deduction as just guessing which filler words you've missed, or spamming admin_random and hoping you find something unwatched.

Still a really enjoyable, short game.

I've had this game for over 10 years and never took the time to actually sit down and play it. I'm familiar with movie video games. I've played a few on the Xbox. I finally got around to play it last night on my stream and honestly thought I was gonna play it for a few minutes. I actually like it. I recommend more games like this. It honestly could've been multi-series project of a bunch of different people talking to the police.

Great concept, not a great ending (no real ending at all, in fact). For a sale, it's not bad, and it's a unique experience. Just kind of a letdown that the pieces didn't fit together in a more satisfying way.

I usually don't recommend games, but this one is amazing, it doesn't have a proper ending, as the ending itself is YOUR interpretation of the events. I played with my friend over a weekend and we both had different outcomes, was quite nice to discuss and try to see each other's view and analysis. Also, this actress deserves an award for her act.

Her Story presents such a unique way to unravel a story. Having things unfold completely based on your own curiosity and what you decide to search up means that you can come up with your own predictions and have a revelation made in a way that is unique to you. Although the criticism could be made that it isn't much of a "game", if the story manages to intrigue you, then you will be hooked all the way until the end. Great to play with a friend or group as well! Everyone can guess what to search up next and predict how the story will unfold. A fun little experience to go through (especially if you can snag it on sale).

Not awful, but not great by any means. Beat the game in a few hours so by the outlook of our economy what would that run? Sadly I'd recommend getting paid for a few hours over playing this. It would be better time well spent and I hate working...

To be honest, this is not really a game.
This "game" has achievements and title, but it is not a game. You type single words, and watch videos of the suspect where she is saying this specific word.
There is nothing to drag, there is nothing to click on, nothing to point on or to open. Overall once you figure out that you are talking to twins, and "ask" the correct words, the "game" ends and you see credits animation.
Super short, not interesting or funny, sorry to say.

I AM SHOOK, THIS WAS SO GOOD! I had to finish it in one sitting because I was completely absorbed by this game all evening. If you're like me (binge reads thrillers and enjoys puzzles, mystery, crime, storytelling) then this game is for you! I recommend going in blind.

Unique FMV murder mystery where you discover more and more of what happened as you use a search engine to locate a series of videos from police interrogation. About one evening to complete it, so short but very well done. A big "aaaaha moment" when you figure it out...Recommended 8/10.

My wife doesn't play games and I thought this could be a fun cooperative experience for us. We were both engrossed for the 2 hours and change we played through it, several times exclaiming as a big reveal happened and the story unfolded. Think of it as a fun alternative to renting a movie and as a personal murder mystery party.

Her story is an experience i highly recommend going in blind, with the least amount of external help possible. The way this game shines is on the theory crafting you make while playing it, and how the game naturally leaves you on the trail to discover the main story without much difficulty.

The main premise is you're investigating an old case that goes way deeper than meets the eye, I spent these 5 hours playing this game paying so much attention, and got really invested in the story.

The only thing I didn't like that much is 100%ing the game after finishing it, kiiinda tedious...

9,5!

Her Story turned out to be an excellent game to play together with someone.

Mechanically, the game gives you access to a series of interviews conducted with a suspect in a murder case. The catch is that the interviews are cut into roughly 10-second-long pieces, and you can’t access them directly. Instead, you must use text search to find all the pieces containing a given word or phrase in the subtitles. To add to the challenge, you can only see the first five videos returned, so searching for something like “the” won’t get you very far.

You don’t have any specific goal in the game, but naturally, you want to watch all the pieces, reconstruct the interviews, and piece together what happened.

We stuck to a simple yet effective flow: watch the found videos, jot down any words that catch our attention, search for those words, and repeat the process. As I said, the game is ideal to play together. For one, the videos are short and easy to digest, and since the game requires little direct interaction, both players get essentially the same experience. Moreover, you can divide the tasks—one person keeps track of the words to search, while the other operates the game. This way, both players stay engaged, making it a true team effort.

Plot-wise, you won’t uncover a groundbreaking story, but it has its fair share of twists and turns. That said, the unique approach feels fresh and keeps you hooked until the very end.

If you enjoy novel game mechanics / unconventional storytelling, this is worth playing. It was recommended to me as being similar to Return of the Obra Dinn. It isn't, really, other than being a detective story. The search mechanic makes you think of solutions in a way I haven't experienced in a game before. That said, I think the concept could be put to better use. You end up using brute force more than logical deduction. Elements of the ending were satisfying, but I'm disappointed that so many of the clues I gathered didn't matter in the end.

"Her Story" is a innovative take on the FMV game and I really liked it. The cyber sleuth game play—although simple—was super addictive, enough for me to beat the game in one sitting. I love any game where I can take notes and while the "puzzles" are not big brain stuff, "Her Story" made me feel like at least a detective in training. Check "Her Story" out if it looks up your alley. 4/5

Incredibly involving, oddly satisfying. Fitting the pieces together was like watching and odd picture taking form in front of you. Loved it and i like it doesn't take your hand or insult your intelligence. Also you can finish the game whenever you feel like you are done with it. It helps that i love unique experiences. 8.5/10

I loved the gameplay; searching for words to find the missing clips was quite fun. It didn't feel like a simple typing game as you do have pay attention to what was being said and extrapolate what word is important, and sometimes you can even get a word from visual observation which was pretty cool.

I really loved the 90s aesthetics as well. I looked up how the dev achieved this and it was a pretty cool process.

Viva Seifert gave a brilliant performance as the woman being interviewed. She really elevated the game and kept you captivated to the screen.

The story itself was quite well written. Very intriguing mystery that had me at the edge of my seat. The big revelation was a simple premise that's been done numerous times in other media and yet here it was executed wonderfully. Piecing together her story (heh) from the clips on this fictional police database was pretty fun.

Overall, a really cool game. It really was quite an experience.

Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Stars

Nice short game -- played it with my wife watching over my shoulder, which added a great co-op element as we went through the mystery together.

Definitely not for everyone -- it is non-linear and the story resolution may not satisfy everyone. But if you like unique narratives, and unique game play elements, this is worth the couple hours to play through.

Be patient, pay attention and take your time. It'll click... It might take days or weeks, might be a few minutes after playing or on the bus home, but just take it all in and try and figure it out before looking up any guides or reviews. There's a lot to unpack!

Got the achievement for finding 100% of the clips. Still trying to wrap my head around the story.
I have my version of events that make sense to me based on what was said but admittedly, there's some physical evidence that goes against my story.
Overall, this game is a roller coaster. Enjoy it.

For some reason, Steam has recorded me as playing this for 60 minutes, but I recorded my playthrough and it clocked in at about 4 and a half hours. Not sure why that's happened, but besides the point.

This isn't a very long game, as I say about 4 and a half hours to see absolutely all four corners of it, but it fits so much into the short runtime. I'd go so far as to say that any longer than the 2 - 3 hours and it would start to overstay its welcome somewhat.

I'm not gonna say too much other than that if you like games like Return of the Obra Dinn, you should definitely play this!

I had heard about this game a lot. I always thought that, what kind of a game is that. It looked silly to me. But the moment I got into the story...
It is really a good and challenging game. This is a game that takes non-linear story-telling into the next level.

I was really enjoying the game. The game has a feature that lets you add videos to your "current session", i.e. your active window, but I didn't see a way to remove them. After having painstakingly gone through dozens (hundreds?) of videos, labelling all of them with various custom tags, I wanted to start a new clip collection, so that I could try to see all videos from a particular interview session.

So, I clicked on the button "Delete user session data".

It proceeded to delete my entire save, wiping out hours of work without even an explanation. Thanks, developer.

I played the game a longer time ago, but I remember it was a unique experience, unique concept and mechanics. You need to figure out search keywords in order to discover fragments of videos, in order to gather the available data related to a murder case. And then it's your turn to interpret the data and come up with an interpretation.
I don't think I have ever played anything quite like this.

What do you want from me? It's an FMV game. It has all the interactivity of scrolling through a DVD menu. But, hey, it's a fun little yarn while it lasts and maybe that's alright. Good to play with someone else to bounce ideas off of them, especially if they aren't enamoured of video games generally.
