Her Story is a Interactive Movie and Interactive Fiction game from Sam Barlow, the creator of Aisle, currently available on Steam and iOS. It was first released in June of 2015.In the year 1994, a woman (played by Viva Seifert) was called in by the police to give a number of interviews considering a recent disappearance. Your challenge is to piece together the facts of the case despite the limitations of the aged database software you are using.Each of the interviews is spliced into a number of clips which can be retrieved by searching for words or phrases spoken during the interview. However, the database only returns the first five search results, forcing you to seek out more specific search terms in order to get the results you need. Thus, the player is forced to sift through the disjointed interviews in a non-linear fashion, using their intuition to pick up on key phrases and delving deeper into the mystery.4 years after its release, the game saw a Spiritual Successor entitled Telling Lies.Since the main draw of this game is the mystery and the events surrounding it, there are unmarked heavy spoilers below. | |

| Her Story (Video Game) / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: According to Eve, Hannah killed Simon because she was jealous of Eve stealing her perfect life together with him. Mostly this trope comes into play the opposite way around however - Eve had clearly been bitter about Hannah seemingly getting everything she wanted, primarily a loving family, pregnancy, and of course Simon himself. | |

| Her Story (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Several, although due to how you explore the narrative, you may find the proverbial gun "firing" before you find out what the gun is. The hand mirror is both the motivation and the murder weapon. The blonde wig, worn by Eve when she wants to be in disguise. Hannah wore it when she murdered Simon. Eve's tattoo is one of the first hints that she and Hannah may be different people. | |

Occam's Razor | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_2e13acd1 | comment |
Occam's Razor: Averted. There is one primary and two secondary explanations for Hannah and Eve's activities. All are highly implausible, and require a certain amount of contrivance to make sense. You can take them at their word and believe that the two are identical twins that were Separated at Birth. However, for their story to make sense, they would have needed to conceal Eve's existence for a decade, while she was living in the attic of Hannah's house, all the while Eve and Hannah were pulling Twin Switch shenanigans on their parents and on the community as a whole. Still, this is the most plausible theory as it does explain certain physical inconsistencies like Hannah's bruise disappearing over the course of a single day, or Eve's tattoo seemingly disappearing between interviews. On the other hand, you can go with the Split Personality theory, which, besides being psychologically dubious, brings up the physical inconsistencies mentioned above. However, at least it doesn't require believing that Hannah and Eve managed to conceal Eve's existence for years, while Eve lived in the same house as Hannah. The last explanation is the simplest: Hannah is making up everything in a convoluted, Machiavellian attempt to evade jail by pinning the blame on a non-existent person. While this explains away almost every inconsistency (except the third set of fingerprints the police found in the house), it also discredits everything you learned during the interviews, rendering the game itself moot. | |

Woman Scorned: If one believes Eve's version of the story, Hannah's reason for accidentally killing Simon was rage at him telling her (posing as Eve) that he wanted to be with her, and presenting her with an identical mirror to the "unique" one he'd given Hannah earlier. | |

Twin Desynch: Eve begins the interrogations with her hair pulled back like Hannah and with a similar demeanor to her, but ends up letting her hair down, both figuratively and literally, and becomes the more confident, outspoken, and brazen of the two. The difference between them is evident not only due to their differing hairstyles, but because of their manner of speaking. | |

Repeating So the Audience Can Hear | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_67b9dd47 | comment |
Repeating So the Audience Can Hear: The woman speaks like this, since the audience can't hear the detective's voices (this is explained by the detective's questions being in a separate volume of the database that was since damaged by a flood). Even then, it is sometimes averted, particularly when the conversation isn't important to the plot. A prime example of this is during the lie detector test, which is just a handful of clips with nothing but 'yes' and 'no'. The only part that we know about is Eve being outed as not-Hannah when she fails a question concerning her name because the woman helpfully repeats what the detective says to her. There's another likely explanation for the frequent repeating - People who are lying often repeat the question they were asked in order to buy time for fabricating an answer. Indeed, most repeats you hear are followed by a lie if not avoided altogether. | |

The Reveal | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: This game is built on Reveals, and there are a few stunners in there. It's revealed that the woman doing the interview is possibly a pair of twins, Hannah and Eve, who switch roles on different days. If Eve is to be believed, Hannah killed her husband accidentally by swinging a broken mirror at him, which causes the shard to cut his throat. Of course this could just as well be Eve shifting the blame to her sister just like Hannah used to do to her in the past. It's impossible to say for certain. If you check the clock in the computer, it's stated that the current time is 2015 and not 1994 like the interview. All this time your player character is not a detective. She's Eve's daughter Sarah, trying to figure out why her mother did what she did in the past which leads to her arrest. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Just like her biblical namesake, infertile Hannah is jealous of another woman who is carrying her husband's child and afraid she will steal his affection. Eve is sometimes regarded as Adam's second wife (after Lilith). Eve is also the second person to have been in a relationship with Simon. In addition, Eve is sometimes accused of driving Adam to sin, just like Eve seduced Simon and started an affair with him. Unfortunately, if the twins story is to be believed, Eve also took Hannah's virginity (or innocence ) with a hairbrush. Both Hannah and Eve's names are asymmetrical palindromes. This relates to how they consider each other a reflection (although they look identical, their actions are opposite, just like looking in a mirror). | |

Self-Made Orphan: Heavily implied. Eve's mother died after falling down the stairs not long after Eve found her mother's journal detailing how she kidnapped her at birth. Later, Hannah's parents both died from food poisoning by eating Death Cap Mushrooms, despite her father being an expert on them. Eve comments that the police never checked the attic, as though the reason for the deaths was up there, where Eve lives. Conveniently, the parents' death enables Eve to reconnect with Simon and Hannah who now move back in with her in the parents' house. | |

Posthumous Character | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_8b568cb7 | comment |
Posthumous Character: Simon. He is constantly discussed and described, but never shows up in the game proper, because he's dead. This counts for every other character mentioned as well, but Simon's case is particularly egregious due to how often he is mentioned. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: There's quite a lot of subtle hints that lets you know what is going on in the game if you look carefully. There's a clock in the computer's desktop. If you look at it, you find out that the current year of the game is the current year the game is being played in, while in the interviews it's 1994. The fact that the woman in the interview has a bruise in one day, which disappears the next few days later. She said it was because of her fast metabolism, but of course that's just bullshit — she also rubs the wrong side of her face after it disappears. There's also the tattoo on her arm while in the previous days, she doesn't have a tattoo. On one day the woman asks for tea with sugar, while on the other she asks for coffee with no sugar. The reflection of the player character while playing the game. Scary and startling at first, but if you look closely, the player kind of looks like the woman in the interview. The song that Hannah sings is about two sisters who fell for the same man. It also involves one sister drowning the other, which Hannah admits to have tried to do once. There are two videos which each have Hannah and Eve reciting the exact same testimony of their alibi for Simon's death, almost word-for-word. The only difference is that Hannah specifically names Simon's parents (Doug and Eleanor), while Eve only refers to them as such. One of the first achievements you'll likely get in Steam, as it's in the first few videos by suggested search, pops up for hearing the phrase "Have you ever eaten fennel?" This seems nonsensical, but the pregnant mother's craving for fennel is what starts the plot of Rapunzel, the recurring motif of the game. | |

Unreliable Expositor | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_a5adbbe7 | comment |
Unreliable Expositor: The game is primarily about figuring out which parts of the woman's testimony you can trust, so you can piece together the events that unfolded. Ultimately, you can't trust anything that Hannah/Eve tells you throughout the game and none of their statements (like the "alibi" in Glasgow) are confirmed or refuted by the interrogating officer. As Eve says in the final video clip: "You have nothing. And all these stories we've been telling each other? Just that: stories." | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Hannah's father is an expert on mushrooms, which makes his death from ingesting poisonous Death Caps extremely suspicious. If Hannah/Eve's story is anywhere near accurate, she has a lot of practice lying and performing in public. That ability may have helped her get through the lie detector test... Eve is a singer and guitarist. She was singing in a bar when she met Simon. | |

Shout-Out: Eve, whose metaphorical situation mirrors that of Rapunzel in the story's Fairy Tale Motifs, claims she first became aware of the outside world by observing a birthday party, specifically Hannah's across the street. Although this isn't present in the original story, it is part of Tangled, an adaptation of it. At one point Eve says "If you put me on You've Been Framed! - I want the money." | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Her Story (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: For those going for 100% Completion, after "finishing" the game, you are taught the command "ADMIN_RANDOM"note it only works after completing the game to help you further in finding more videos. It's not even as random as it claims to be, it has a chance, based on how many videos you've seen, to spit out an unseen one. This is particularly helpful for the lie-detector test videos. The search attempts to automatically search for plural and singular versions of words, as well as accounting for differences in American and British spelling. Since all videos are tagged with the tag "BLANK", the player can just search for "blank" and erase the tagline from all the videos they see. This might not be intentional, however. | |

No Ending: At some point, a chat box will appear on the screen, with 'SB' (who is never introduced besides the message they leave you on the desktop) asking you if you're done searching and are satisfied with what you've learned. Answering "yes" to both questions will take the game to the credits, and teach you the "ADMIN_RANDOM" command to help you should you choose to continue. However, aside from that, nothing happens even if you manage to view all 271 videos on the database. Although you do at least learn exactly who is searching the database and why. | |

Accidental Murder | |

If Eve is to be believed, Hannah killed her husband accidentally by swinging a broken mirror at him, which causes the shard to cut his throat. Of course this could just as well be Eve shifting the blame to her sister just like Hannah used to do to her in the past. It's impossible to say for certain. | |
