Description

That's Not How It Happened is a 2D beat 'em up/dating sim/ point and click adventure game, where you play through several family members' contradictory versions of how their family-run inn was burned to the ground.

TNHIH is a unique and humorous interactive take on the Rashomon style "multiple versions of the same event" trope that leans into the affordances games provide by letting the player switch between characters and by representing their conflicting accounts through narrative, gameplay and art style.
