A player is granted an opportunity to create own character, customize its appearance, choose lightsaber and learn the way of The Force. It continues the tradition of sparkling third-person action gameplay adding new stuff to destroy, new missions to complete and vehicles to drive. The game is the sequel to Jedi Outcast and a part of the series of Jedi Knight RPGs from Raven Software. As soon-to-be Jedi approach the Academy on foot they stumble upon two stormtroopers and Dark Jedi that seems to be the reason for the calamity. New students are arriving at Jedi Academy on distant Yavin IV but unknown enemy shots down their shuttle. The game was praised because of its original narrative, character performance and interesting gameplay mechanics.

In order to make it as much realistic as possible, Barlow watched lots of real police interviews, by doing so he discovered that there is a lot of ambiguity in those files and he wanted to incorporate that into the game as well. He decided to use live action footage and created a police procedural game.

He wanted to create a game which focuses on story. Her Story is the first game made by Sam Barlow since his departure from Climax Studios. Her Story is about a man who is missing and the player has to focus on searching through databases of various video clips from police interviews with missing man’s wife Hannah Smith, in order to solve a case. Her Story also is an interactive movie video game which is written and directed by Sam Barlow. There is a small little genre of interactive movies in the game industry, but it seems that not only Quantic Dream makes this type of games.
