I guess this is my first so called "Mixed" review. Pros: 1. The actress is fantastic. Absolutely banger acting. 2. The story is actually good, especially in video game standards. A lot of twists and turns. 3. The vintage retro aesthetic really acts in its favour. 4. It has an eerie tone and even unimportant side things scared me a bit sometimes (like her reflection, iykyk). Cons: 1. Absence of structure. You just find out the truth and that's it. A sense of purpose/something to actually do, to end the game is missing. You just finish the game when you complete everything and walk away. 2. The chat function is a miss. That could have been a good ending marker but they made it inaccessible by the user by themselves. 3. The ui, especially the selected clips and its arrangement lack a lot of qol. The pros slightly outweigh the cons. And also due to the fantastic story and acting and due to the fact it is an indie game after all (and because there's no mixed review option), I'll opt for positive review. 5.1/10, buy on sale (it's dirt cheap anyway, got my money's worth ngl).

A wonderful unique game. I wanted to play it for so long. I couldn't get 100% database. I had a lot of fun theory crafting and thinking about what is happening in the game. I highly recommend this game.

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.

This game is like a breath of fresh air in the FMVverse. Unlike many other games in this genre, here you don't choose from any options and decide how the story should progress, instead all you do is type keywords into a video database and watch clips. That's literally it, nothing else to it. Once you discover a certain percentage of the clips, the game ends. It's up to you if you want to find the rest of the clips - you'll be rewarded with an achievement at least. The game doesn't have a whole lot going for it, for less than a euro it's alright tho.

Her Story is a king of puzzle game where you have to explore database and visualise hundreds of videos to find who's the real killer. The story and the gameplay is really original and the graphics are cool, like if you're working on an old computer. It worth it and I recommend it. 💗
