Development of Her Story is now history, as the adventure game is now available on GOG.com and Steam, offering a detective story for Windows and OS X featuring an unusual narrative technique. This trailer shows off the game and its use of full-motion video that brings on an unmistakable sense of nostalgia for the days when this was state-of-the-art. Here's the description:

Her Story is the new video game from Sam Barlow, creator of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Aisle. A crime fiction game with non-linear storytelling, Her Story revolves around a police database full of live action video footage. It stars Viva Seifert, actress and one half of the band Joe Gideon and the Shark.

How does it work?
Her Story sits you in front of a mothballed desktop computer that’s logged into a police database of video footage. The footage covers seven interviews from 1994 in which a British woman is interviewed about her missing husband. Explore the database by typing search terms, watch the clips where she speaks those words and piece together her story.
