The Lies We Tell Ourselves

The Lies We Tell Ourselves launched on January 15, 2025 as the first episode of a planned episodic series. The developer — a solo indie creator working under the name Poopsy — announced this episodic format in November 2024, explaining that personal hardships (including the loss of a family member and two surgeries) made a full simultaneous release impractical. Each episode is designed to deliver roughly 2 hours of narrative content building toward a complete story arc. Following launch, the developer shipped three hotfixes through January 27, 2025, addressing gameplay balance and bug issues. However, no updates of any kind have been posted since January 27, 2025. No announcement of Episode 2 has been made, no development roadmap or timeline has been shared, and there has been no communication from the developer at all since that date. This is concerning given the episodic nature of the game — the story as currently available is explicitly incomplete, and the remaining episodes are what give the game its full narrative resolution. The developer's documented history of personal health setbacks that previously delayed the project by over a year adds to the uncertainty. As of June 21, 2026, buyers should be aware that while future episodes are part of the game's stated design, there is currently no confirmation that development of those episodes is actively continuing.
