About

Emy Is Lying

Features
Read full description

Emy Is Lying is a fictional single-player psychological text thriller about holding onto the truth under pressure. Season One is complete: eight authored chapters played inside a messages-style interface. Read the thread, compare screenshots, pin claims, unlock evidence, and choose when to challenge, pause, apologise, or set a boundary. Every move changes the record. A clean question can reveal a contradiction. An overreach can damage trust. Emotional certainty may feel satisfying, but the best endings reward careful evidence, repair, and restraint. The app does not read your real messages, contacts, photos, location, microphone, or camera. Authored chapter progress saves locally on your device. Optional Game Center integration can post chapter scores to the Truth Score leaderboard. If experimental AI mode is enabled and configured, in-game choices and custom text may be sent to the backend to generate gameplay responses. This is fiction, not relationship advice or real-world lie detection.
