“My Father Lied” is a Story-rich Mystery Lovecraftian game that tells the story of Huda, who finds herself following an unfathomable secret regarding her father’s 20 years disappearance.
Twenty years later, she discovers he lied... but why?

In "My Father Lied," you embark on a mysterious journey through an abandoned Mesopotamian museum. The previous inhabitants left behind intricate puzzles to help them remember their secrets and the objects they kept. What caused their memories to fade? What made them descend into madness? And are you really alone in this forgotten place?

My Father Lied features the first Iraqi female-led character in a video game. In her honor, we gave her the name of the oldest known writer in human history; a woman who was also from the same region: Enheduanna.
Nicknamed Huda, she is an archaeologist like her father. Now, she is forced to dig into her past and the history of this place to discover what happened to him and why he was taken from them by force. To uncover the truth, she must solve puzzles left behind by those who ran this place and survive the same madness that consumed them.

The game features hand-drawn cutscene art that explores Huda's past and its connection to her present. The puzzles will test your reasoning, challenging you to uncover the museum's secrets—from ancient and recent political intrigues to the stories of its former inhabitants, and ultimately, the truth of what lies beneath.
And remember... secrets aren't found, they're earned.
