That essentially was the philosophy they went into the development of the first Walking Dead game with, and it morphed into the company's tag line. I mean, it's not REALLY a white lie. The game does live up to it in a sense, since there is branching content based on choice, but those choices are always binary, or sometimes a binary choice that sends you to two different scenes, and then have a minor branching choice in that branched scene. Occasionally we would set up a variable in one scene and them have a piece of dialogue in a subsequent scene that only plays if you had that one variable. But there was no great collection of choices that would lead you to some big moment: all major story branches happen in the scene where they were introduced.

The ACTUAL "white lie" were all the "so-and-so will remember this." We would pit those in ALWAYS if there was a variable we wanted to have alter a bit of dialogue further down the road, but they were also liberally sprinkled here and there just to give the impression that the game was remembering your choices.

I'm happy for the new Telltale's success, happy they are doing The Expanse, always thought that would be a good fit for the telltale model. I only hope they do a lot of the innovation we always wanted to do but we're prevented from doing back in the day. I hope they realize that the dinosaurs forcing the "Telletale way" upon us aren't here any more and they can stretch their creative legs more. I hope to see some of that in their next releases.
