"Her Story is one of the most entrancing experiences you can hope to find on mobile"
9/10, Pocket Gamer
"It’s a murder case where you’re in the detective’s chair, a mystery where you make the running, and an engrossing experience from start to finish. With this we should consign the term “interactive movie” to history’s dustbin, because movies can’t dream of offering audiences a narrative structure as intimate and involving as this: they’re just moving pictures. Her Story points to the future" 5/5, The Guardian
Her Story is the critically acclaimed mystery game from Sam Barlow. Playing like an interactive true crime documentary, the game lets you go hands on with 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 and logs you into a police database. Search through hundreds of video clips that cover 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.
"Her Story is a beautiful amalgam of the cinema and video game formats... a remarkable achievement..." 90, The Washington Post
"Profound, gripping live-action drama… sure to be discussed for years to come" 5/5, Digital Spy
Unlike anything you've played before, Her Story is an involving and moving experience. One that asks you to listen.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
There’s truly nothing else like Her Story. In this amazing game, you navigate an old computer—complete with dated hums and clicks—combing video files for clues about a bygone crime. The setup is delightfully brisk, and in a matter of seconds you’ll be racing to find the truth. Her Story is smart, dark and original—you’ll be mesmerised until you’ve uncovered the very last clip.
Disappointing at first but very interesting
I got the impression this was a game, it isn't. I would have preferred to be solving something but in a way you have to piece together what happened so you are solving something in a way. There seems to be a massive amount of content and it's an interesting story
The start of real gaming.
A superb idea that feels like it could have been fleshed out a little more. The acting is spot on and the design of the game is perfect... I guess I just want more!
