DoraKingdom of Liars 1In the first installment of the new point-and-click dark fantasy adventure from Hyptosis, Kingdom of Liars 1, your career as the newest member of the Hernessian Guard doesn't exactly begin with the best of omens. Then again, you are now living in what they call The City of Rats, so you probably weren't expecting a cakewalk to begin with. Click to interact, and pay attention to the way your cursor changes to denote people to speak to, items of interest, or objects to pick up. Once something is in your inventory, just click to select it, and then again wherever you want to use it.

Kingdom of Liars is a short but fascinating little game that really showcases how far Hyptosis has come in his work. The way descriptions pop up when you mouse over items and the cursor changes over certain areas eliminates a lot of random clicking, letting you just scan around to take in all the little textual details. The artwork is pretty darned gorgeous, with imaginative, eerie designs, and since it this game exists in the same world as some of Hyptosis' other titles, fans will welcome the chance to explore a bit more. The downside? The game is so linear it's easy, with the last and really only puzzle perhaps posing a bit of confusion due to some awkward wording. Kingdom of Liars is full of creative ideas and boasts a much tidier user interface than we've seen from the developer before, and though it might be over before you're done with your coffee break, represents the start of an intriguing new mystery.

4 shrooms -- awesome graphics, very moody, mostly logical puzzles...but too short! Hope to see the rest of this one soon.

Exact same problem they had with the "Alice is dead" series.

Great games, but way too damn short. Also, I assume the end of this trilogy will be a "cliff hanger" like Alice is Dead, so that deters me from even playing.

The graphics are - as always with these people - just plain beautiful and very, very clever. The gameplay isn't hindered by silly controls. It's actually all very nice. But why does it have to be so utterly boring?

I'm sorry, but I don't feel either thrilled or challenged by (for instance) "finding" a thing with a big arrow over it, only to "discover" later that the same thing somehow and unexplainably fits into the thingamajig you are supposed to tackle. Why not throw in a couple of real riddles instead, like in the olden days of adventure gaming?

Then again I may be too picky. Looking forward to the second installment;)

Just something to keep in mind, sadagar; there is no "these people" with this, Hood,or The Sagittarian. ;) All these adventure games are made by ONE guy, who worked on the Alice is Dead series with someone else. He has been experimenting with and learning to create these games on his own.

sadagar • September 1, 2012 7:04 PM

Thanks, Dora - I didn't know and stand corrected.

The Alice series for one is just marvellous and I really do admire his/her dark, haunting and truly imaginative mind. I apologize if my critical comments on this game seemed disrespectful.

Patreon Crew Dora • September 1, 2012 10:21 PM

Oh, no apology needed, and your comments as to the game itself are absolutely still valid, but I had seen other people also assuming this was the work of the original team, and I thought it was worth drawing attention to the fact that it's a one-man show who is learning as he goes. :)

Stunning yet again. Whoever's behind this should publish some sort of sourcebook in regard to these games' background as well - at least Hood and KoL clearly draw from the same well. It'd make great RPG material.

I can't play this on jayisgames, I just get a white screen. I think it's something to do with the embedded medal system. It's playing fine for me on newgrounds.

Anyway, absolutely beautiful, impressive game. Lovely art. Even more impressive if it's all done by the same person.

It's all in the little details of the world. Yeah, the puzzles aren't up to much, but I didn't care. I hope future installments keeps the puzzles simple and concentrates on the interesting dialogue and descriptions. I'd like to see those ant-men again for instance (and their blue handler). I liked the nod to Pratchett (Grimes St) and it was nice to see an old character from the other games.

Hey, does anyone recognize Warren as The hunters younger brother from Hood?
