About the Story

Do you think that a manipulative, narcissistic, power-hungry compulsive liar is a kind of monster? This interactive fiction lets you play through the life of such a tender person as he goes from potential psycho to beloved leader.

In each situation you will have only one decision to take: tell the truth, or lie. NPCs will remember if you lied to them or told the truth before, and trust you according to that. Once you choose, you will see if your truth or your lies are believed by other people... and situations will move into success or descend into chaos.

There is a great deal of randomness in the game. The same decision in exactly the same conditions may not have the same result. The same decision, having the same result, may lead to a different path each playthrough. There are several paths and the second playthrough will quite different from the first. There are three endings.

Though there is a game mechanic, it's more interactive fiction than text game. There is no victory condition or goal other than advancing and reaching the end.

This game was entirely produced from scratch in two days for the Ludum Dare 33 game jam.
