Telling Lies wins at Golden Joysticks!

November 29, 2019

At the 2019 Golden Joysticks, Telling Lies was nominated for Ultimate Game of the Year -- an incredible achievement for a game as unconventional as this! But most excitingly, Logan Marshall-Green won the award for Best Performer -- entirely deserved for his tour-de-force work in the game. Fingers crossed this isn't the only gold Logan receives -- his skill and commitment to the project was a huge part of its success. Not to mention the rest of the cast. There are not enough awards in the world to fully acknowledge our amazing team :)
