Interrogation: You Will Be Deceived is a narrative-driven puzzle and strategy game developed by Critique Gaming, released in 2019 for PC, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. Players take the role of a lead detective working to dismantle a terrorist organization known as The Liberation Front, operating across two interconnected layers of gameplay. In interrogation sessions, success depends on reading each suspect's background and psychology to determine whether intimidation, empathy, or deception will be most effective — there is no single universal approach, and resistance grows as the investigation advances. Outside the interrogation room, players manage a team, budget, and the police department's public standing while handling media pressure. The game features over 35 characters and a noir visual style derived from real actor footage, accompanied by atmospheric music. Multiple endings reflect the cumulative weight of the player's decisions, and the game engages seriously with themes of terrorism, institutional power, and police conduct.
Be the lead detective that brings down a mysterious terrorist organization: The Liberation Front. Use a complex conversational simulation system to interrogate and psychologically manipulate realistic suspects in a noir game about political radicalization and authority abuse. Rich or poor, progressive or conservative, women or men, the Liberation Front's potent lure fills its ranks with people from all layers and corners of society. They want to violently dismantle social order as we know it and to rebuild it from the ground up. Can you stop them? Will you stop them? In the pursuit of terrorist organization The Liberation Front, you have to coordinate your team to gather information, manage your limited budget and deal with the press hot on your heels for a good story. But that is only half of it:Your main task as lead investigator is interrogating suspects. Understanding their backgrounds, and thus their motivations, is key in choosing whether intimidation, guile or empathy is the right approach. There is no universal solution – but the clock is ticking relentlessly. As you’re closing in on the true culprits and your suspects are getting more resistant, the interrogations become increasingly difficult. Uncover the truth through complex conversations, psychological manipulation and other techniques. The Liberation Front will not be easily dismantled.
