GAMEPLAY
In the pursuit of terrorist organization The Liberation Front, you have to coordinate your team to gather information, manage your limited budget and deal with the press hot on your heels for a good story. But that is only half of it:
Your main task as lead investigator is interrogating suspects. Understanding their backgrounds, and thus their motivations, is key in choosing whether intimidation, guile or empathy is the right approach. There is no universal solution – but the clock is ticking relentlessly.
As you’re closing in on the true culprits and your suspects are getting more resistant, the interrogations become increasingly difficult. Uncover the truth through complex conversations, psychological manipulation and other techniques.
The Liberation Front will not be easily dismantled.
THE GAME'S GOAL
Interrogation: Deceived is a narratively immersive convo-puzzle game that challenges common preconceptions about highly relevant contemporary subjects like terrorism, police brutality and the power imbalances between citizens, the state and large corporations. The game follows in the footsteps of games like "This War of Mine", "Papers Please", "This is the Police" and "Orwell" in that it tries to raise important moral, ideological and practical questions in the minds of the players.
This Books game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is the best, most psychologically sound and consistent conversation-driven game Ive ever played. The art work is great, but the sophistication of the plot, relationship management, and conflicting character worldviews and agendas was highly compelling. Like a good mystery, the author was always a few steps ahead of us. It can be difficult in spots, especially in later, more difficult levels where the orders of topics of conversation can make all the difference, but if at first you dont succeed… Youll be rewarded for trying again. We want to play it again sometime to try different interrogation techniques.
We dont write reviews, we play adventure/role play games a ton. And this is by far the best game Ive played this year. Long gameplay, different difficulties, you feel like an actual detective. We wish there were other scenarios to play this is our only complaint.
We never write reviews on App Store but honestly this is the greatest game Ive come acrossnot to mention Ive always had the wanting for a great puzzle solving/criminal mind game. Mind that this game requires a lot of careful readings and logical deduction, exactly our cup of tea! Truly amazing production and we are hoping that there is a 2nd one coming up! Cant wait.
