How many times have you lied in a videogame? I remember upping my coercion in Dragon Age: Origins so that I would have sway over the werewolves in the Brecilian Forest, and as Astarion I bullshitted my way around Faerûn, charming the locals at every turn. While lying is often a means to an end in games, with particularly nasty ones being associated with 'evil' playthroughs, it has a deeper meaning in Better Than Us, a new visual novel-esque indie game that's steeped in dark humor despite its bright, gilded appearance. Little Bat Games' latest venture looks right up my alley, and if it's anything like Vampire Therapist, it's going to absolutely slap.
Better Than Us is a neo-dystopian "social stealth" game about lying, and I'm ready to go full Pinocchio
