I’m sure with the number of games available nowadays, we all look for something unique either in terms of gameplay, graphics or narrative.
One such game that has caught my eye is My Father Lied. It’s a mystery/Lovecraftian puzzle adventure but what sets it apart is its story.
The journey of how the game came to life is quite interesting. Ahmed Alameen, the developer, didn’t set out to be a game dev.
Back in 2020, he was building his name as a writer and filmmaker. A college friend sparked the idea of collaborating on a game but the team later got dissolved and the project was never even started.
Ahmed, however, couldn’t shake the story he had in mind. So, he decided to go solo and taught himself 3D modelling and Unreal Engine, finally bringing his vision to life.
