Introduction: 

Welcome to the Telling Lies Trophy Guide! Telling Lies is an investigative thriller FMV game revolving around a cache of secretly recorded video conversations, about the intimate and intense lives of 4 people linked by a shocking incident. The whole game /gameplay sits you in front of a laptop while you view this footage and uncover the truth.

Trophy wise everything is very easy and quick. There are 7 easy miscellaneous trophies that you can grab at any time, there is ONE very easy but missable trophy at the 3 am cutscene, simply press search when the catwalks over the keyboard, and for the other 99% of the game you will simply be typing out the list of 84 keywords and briefly clicking view on all of the 169 videos for the ‘full upload’ trophy (this part will take about 20 mins).

Simplified Walkthrough:

This simplified walkthrough is basically the same as a roadmap, and tells you all you need to know for how to get the platinum and complete the game:

• First, grab the 7 easy miscellaneous trophies:
• 1. Win a game of Solitaire. (Missing King Trophy).

• 3. Make 5 failed password attempts on a locked Wi-Fi. (Forgot My Password Trophy).
• 4. Drag a picture back to the trash can. (Taking out the trash Trophy).
• 5. Bookmark 20ish videos. (Librarian Trophy).
• 6. Do 20ish subtitle word searches. (Hypertextual Trophy).
• 7. Tag a video 6 times. (Organizer Trophy).
• There will be 5 unmissable story trophies for each hourly cutscene.
• There is one missable trophy at the 3 am cutscene where the catwalks over the keyboard, simply press ‘search’ on what the cat typed. (Animal Logic Trophy).
• For the rest of the game simply input the full list of 84 keywords provided in the trophy guide below or in the video at 9:14 and briefly click view on all 169 videos. *this takes about 20 minutes*. (Full Upload Trophy).
