--Spoiler-free review--

Her Story is a creative storytelling experience. Not much of a game, no, but if you enjoy good fiction, this may be a fun exercise for you.

As you likely already know, the game itself is a just matter of watching video clips from a library. The library is a set of chopped up interviews concerning a murder. The clips are typically 30-60 seconds long. You access video clips from the library by searching for keywords in the text. You choose the keywords yourself. So - different players will have different experiences, as key bits of the story emerge at different times for different players.

I really enjoyed piecing together the plot. There are some twists in the story that will reveal themselves to you in time.

You'll likely spend about 2 hours in this game. Maybe more, maybe less. It's not a big time commitment. The story stays with you, like a good movie.

I recommend Her Story for fans of non-traditional games. Enjoy it especially as a fresh take on storytelling in gaming.
