"Her Lie I Tried To Believe" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a donationware e-book ($4 soundtrack donation, digital panhandling) written by a misogynist/incel about his imaginary anime girlfriend who is mean to him (imagine how damaged you have to be to get to the point you not only write this kind of trash, but pay $100 to publish it), because remember guys, if you're unsuccessful at life and relationships, it's womens fault (this is obviously sarcasm from me, but that's the deplorable attitude presented by the author here). So this garbage is an incel manifest about why it's "okay" to blame someone else for your problems... ugh. Seriously, this is utter trash and the disrespect it has is utterly unacceptable, and matched only by the laughably bad cringe writing. This was slapped together with the godawful Ren'Py visual novel construction kit... enabling terrible authors to publish books as if they were games when otherwise we might have been spared the pollution. So, just like no professional writing took place here, no professional software development took place, either. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages. You'd think it was garbage. Now imagine that experience, but with much worse writing (because if these guys could write professionally, they'd be published authors and this would be on shelves in bookstores, and they wouldn't have to pay Valve $100 to self-publish this on Steam), and you have your average Steam e-book. One of the chief problems with failed authors polluting Steam with non-game E-books is that E-books can easily just be presented in a web browser... there's no justification for charging money on Steam for what might as well be a webpage. We don't spend thousands on buying a gaming rig to spend money on Steam for something Chrome or Firefox could do. While this E-book has no up-front cost, you can get better quality, professionally written books and comics for free online (from places like Project Gutenberg) or from public libraries. Steam isn't a comic book store, neither is it Netflix, it's for games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games.

Since this is a one way "death" story, compared to the full original story, I feel like this part of the story should be called: "I LoveHate Her, Till Death To Us Part!" & if I'm being honest with my feelings after finishing this novel of a game, stories like this.... makes me feel like,,,, (Closes my eyes, as I sigh the biggest release of breath so I can get this off my chest)... "True Love" doesn't exist anymore in the world we live in now, since the people wants to continue to hurt others around them & themselves, just for pleasure & not wanting to exist anymore. If I'm wrong & you truly think/believe there is any chance for a person's broken heart to be fix/rebuilt, please comment down below. If you don't or choose to not want to/bother to careless, well... like HER (Cassandra), I'm use to being ignored by others & treated differently, especially to those who said they care, only to see them turn around, & show there true colors.
It's not the most well crafted VN out there, I have to admit it. But I still recommend this free version. This game tries too much to be very edgy, like it is trying to check all the "trigger warnings". I don't think I've ever felt so uncomfortable playing a game. You play as a terrible person male protagonist, I hate him so much. But that's the thing, this game's story is all about hate. So I think it hit all the right spots, on that regard. The story isn't perfect. I know there are crappy humans like this MC in real life, but it still feels a bit exaggerated. But this story is still the reason why I recommend you play this game. It has some weird, but interesting, twists and turns. I enjoyed the ending too, it's pretty damn crazy. I really liked the music too. The menu theme and the track [url=https://youtu.be/JKdNLUDv820]"Mascarade"[/url] are very awesome. Be aware, it covers a lot of sensitive topics, including sexual content, even though it's not a hentai kind of game. And it does it in the worst way possible, since the MC is a terrible person. Although, I'd suggest not look much into the "trigger warnings" to not get spoiled.
the whole time i was making fun of how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is until it strikes with one of the plot twist i've ever seen 10/10 def. would play again.
Tim ought to get shot man. I sincerely hope this isn't based on something real.
I will recomend this game but it does have distrubimng matireal in it and is a lot of reading but the story is good
BPD dating simulator. The writing could be better, but it's not terrible. It's fairly short, whether this is a pro or con is up to you. This is more of a maybe recommendation than a hard yes. It's a decent first effort, and it's hard to complain when it's so short and free. You're not paying anything and you're not wasting a lot of time if you don't like it.
Новеллка непонятная...
Apart from the fact that it's free, I just download this game for its explicit material and play it through to the point where I get very attached. This game changed my perspective in playing a visual novel with 18+ content and greatly appealed to my emotions. Developer really did a great job creating this game. Pardon me now. I'm going to get the extended version of this game because you may select your preferred ending <3 Let's show some love by buying their game! Love the game <3 -from horn dog to good dog 🐶🐶🐶
