The Japanese studio Mutan has existed since 2007. Among the productions developed by this team, the Goonya series of social games is the most important one. In addition to it, the team created the action-packed Sky Ride. In the case of Sofia in Exchange for Lies described here, the company decided to try something different, offering us a title from the border of detective adventures and visual novels.

Gameplay

In Sofia in Exchange for Lies we play the role of a psychiatrist named Philip, assigned to examine the titular Sofia. The girl, who is suspected of murdering a presidential candidate, has multiple personalities. Our task is to uncover the reasons why she might have killed the influential politician.

Psychiatric investigation

During the game, we observe Sofia through a camera system. We can have conversations with her, trying to ask questions that touch the core, the answers to which will shed new light on the matter we are investigating.

The fact that we are heading in the right direction is indicated by Sofia's increasing pulse. This can also help us to provoke a change in her personality. This last point is important, because each girl's personality has unique secrets and reacts to us in a specific way.

A tree of keywords helps us in navigating through the twists and turns of the investigation, leading to subsequent conversation topics. Seemingly ordinary behaviors of Sofia, as well as her reactions to the gifts presented to her (determined by her "active" personality), can also be a source of valuable tips.
