Extended Edition Released

The extended edition of Her Lie I Tried To Believe has just been released on steam! If youre interested, please take a moment to check it out. Heres the list of things that have been added:

• 2 abrupt endings
• 2 small variations to the original ending
• 1 true ending
• 10+ new CGs
• 6 new locations
• More than double the number of words (22k VS. 47k)
• 4 new original pieces of music
• 2 new characters

As a side note, at first I was planning to add nudity to the game since nudity fits with the game mature setting pretty well, in my opinion, but with steam vague guidelines on sexual content I realized the value it added just wasnt worth it. Since Cassandra is younger in the first chapter (flashback), and steam is very strict toward what they consider minors in visual novels, I didnt want to take the chance to get the game banned (even though sex only occurs later in the game when Cassandra is obviously 21). So I just wanted to take a moment to apologize to those of you who might have expected nudity (or any other form of sexual content) in the extended edition. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1313810/Her_Lie_I_Tried_To_Believe__Extended_Edition/

Updated Soundtrack

Four pieces of music have been added to the original soundtrack, so if you dont already own it, you might consider looking into it. Im personally a real sucker for those new tracks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/806630/Her_Lie_I_Tried_To_Believe__Soundtrack/ The soundtrack can also be bought in conjunction with the extended edition for 15% off.

Small Update To The Original Version

Lastly, I updated the original version with two-ish new CGs, and I also added a background for the club (which didnt have a background until now). Its really nothing much, but I might as well mention it while Im at it. Im very thankful to everyone whos been supporting me up until now. Obviously, I would have loved to release the extended edition for free, but unfortunately (or fortunately?) I need money to produce more projects. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to release free projects in the not-so-distant future. Anyway, Im grateful, is what I wanna say. Thank you.

Script Overhaul

First, this is something Ive been itching to do for a long time since there always has been quite a few flaws with the script of Her Lie I Tried To Believe. So, Ive rewritten a lot of sentences that were really awkward, while trying to keep the style of the story intact. Ive also hired someone to proofread it. Im fairly satisfied with the end result, though there will probably always be some imperfections in the text. Anyway, the update should be live nowso better late than never I guess.

New Game Released

The second thing I want to talk about is that Ive just released my new game on steam, and I would be overjoyed if some of you would take the time to check it out. Its not really in the same style as Her Lie I Tried To Believea lot more vanilla, I would saybut still, your support would be appreciated, and it would help me create new games in the future. The game can be found here. Which brings us to the last point.

Extended Edition Of Her Lie I Tried To Believe

Ive been on the fence over this for quite a while now. There are some things in Her Lie I Tried To Believe that Ive kept ambiguous, and for good reasons. I like when people find their own truth, and interpret things their own way. So I really wasnt sure if it would be worth it to reveal those things. But while working on the script for the extended version, I realized that it would be a shame to keep things as they are now. Im a bit scared that fans wont like itbut at the same time, its been almost two years since the game has been out, a few people did ask me for an alternative ending, and since Im satisfied with the new endingI said to myself, why not? So the new content will most likely come in the form of a new separated game (extended edition). At first I wanted to release it as a DLC (since I will probably keep the style of the game as is), but since I dont want anything to happen to the current version of the game (you never know what can happen when dealing with steam), I wont take any chance. It wont be free, but shouldnt be very expensive. It will roughly double the number of words of the actual script (23~k words up to 45~k words) will add two small endings as well as a true one, and will introduce two new characters. If possible, Ill try to add a few new CGs to the current free version, but it will all depend on the budget. Thats why, if you really want to support me, checking out the new game that I just now released or simply buying the soundtrack of Her Lie I Tried To Believe would help me greatly. I still plan on releasing the extended edition no matter what happens, but it might take more time than anticipated the more my budget is constrained.

Hi, this is another quick update about two things in particular. First, we’ve added a disclaimer on both the store page, and inside the game. This is something that should have been there since the very beginning. This will (hopefully) help people decide if this game is made for them or not. The second thing is the “nudity” tag. Lots of people were asking, and searching for nudity in the game, and were quite disappointed. This tag was an artifact of before we made changes with the in-game text. We also don’t think this tag is appropriate for this game (ever), and decided to remove it. We think the “sexual content” tag is more than enough to describe what’s going on inside our game. We’re sorry if this misled anyone into downloading, and playing it. Lastly, I simply want to thank everyone who played. We’re reading your reviews and comments, and we’re very happy with how supportive most of you have been. As of right now, this experience has been quite positive. So, for that, I thank you.

A quick patch correcting a few typos. Didn’t have quite the time to look at it extensively, so I’ll probably release more patches in the coming weeks. Thanks again for your support!

After some unforeseen difficulties, we're finally able to release Her Lie I Tried To Believe on steam! Sorry, and thanks for your patience. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did producing it. Note: in order to be accepted on steam we had to change some of the wording (10~ sentences). The core should be identical, but if you still prefer to play the original version you can go to our twitter account for more detail.

It seems that, even though our game has no sexual depiction, because of the text portion of the game is being considered as ‘porn’ from steam’s perspective, we won’t be able to release it on its platform unless we somehow censure it. I must admit I’m quite depressed, as this game is nowhere near what I would personally call of ‘pornographic’ nature. Still, we can do nothing but comply and think of a way to change the game while still keeping the core of it intact. In the meantime, if you want to download the current version, you can find all the detail on our twitter account ( https://twitter.com/HGPurrroduction ).
