"Her Story is one of the most entrancing experiences you can hope to find on mobile"
9/10, Pocket Gamer
"It’s a murder case where you’re in the detective’s chair, a mystery where you make the running, and an engrossing experience from start to finish. With this we should consign the term “interactive movie” to history’s dustbin, because movies can’t dream of offering audiences a narrative structure as intimate and involving as this: they’re just moving pictures. Her Story points to the future"
5/5, The Guardian
Her Story is a fresh take on the police procedural from Sam Barlow, creator of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Aisle.
Playing like an interactive true crime documentary, the game lets you go hands on with a police database full of live action video footage. It stars Viva Seifert, actress and one half of the band Joe Gideon and the Shark.
"Her Story is a beautiful amalgam of the cinema and video game formats... a remarkable achievement..."
90, The Washington Post
"Profound, gripping live-action drama… sure to be discussed for years to come"
5/5, Digital Spy
How does it work?
Her Story sits you in front of a mothballed desktop computer and logs you into a police database. Search through hundreds of video clips that cover seven interviews from 1994 in which a British woman is interviewed about her missing husband. Explore the database by typing search terms, watch the clips where she speaks those words and piece together her story.
Unlike anything you've played before, Her Story is an involving and moving experience. One that asks you to listen.

There are NO directions!

It would be a lot more fun if there were directions. If I knew you could only store a certain number of clips... I would have been more discerning. I didn’t see a way to delete them, so I had to start over. Ugh! I also don’t think there is a real end. I accidentally found the “whodunit” clip pretty early on which was a bummer.
What?

Watching a bunch of Videos? That’s what all the hubbub is about? How is this supposed to be fun?
Bad acting and disgusting content

Had some really horrible details that I wouldn’t repeat, and poor performances. Getting a refund for this. I realize that it is kind of a clever game but really didn’t draw me in.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Though I am a lover of most interactive games, and did enjoy this game for the 25minutes it took me to solve the mystery; I am not a "gamer" or "techie" by any means. I am, however, highly disappointed in the end result. There is not "grand hurrah". Once you figure it out thats it. Its over. No work involved. No submitting your guess to the solution, no "Colonel Mustard with a candlestick in the bathroom" gratification of any sort. You just assume you're correct. Definitely not worth $5.
Rotation

The rotation feature does not work. I have a case that only works one way being that it has a keyboard attached. It would be nice if I could rotate the game to the position I need.
Dishonest at Best - BEWARE!!

DO NOT buy this game if you use an iPhone. I am using an iPhone 6s with all software up to date according to Apple. My phone is running iOS 9.2.1 so I dont know what app designers are talking about when they mention Mac OSX 10.8. That's for the desktop NOT for the iPhone! I expect a refund because these people dont mention any of these issues up front. I discovered them right after trying to use the app. Shame on Apple for letting this one get by them! God I really miss Steve Jobs!
Sloppily beautiful and dark

Lot of effort put in, and definitely a creative triumph. A must buy if you love wallowing in sorrow, but all you millennial lolcats out there likely won't understand the historical context. A few very very short clips were extraneous and I gave up trying for the very last clips.
Very unconventional

No frills here. Very boring. You would have to be a sucker like me to believe any of the positive reviews and spend $5 on this terrible app. The layout is more than confusing. There is little if any fun here. Guess I'll have to give up my next Starbucks.
Amazing!!!

If you want a great mystery detective game, then this is the one for you. It has an awesome story and will keep you hooked all the way to the end. Worth the price for sure.
