About the Game
Contradiction is a unique adventure / murder mystery game that uses live-action video for the entirety of the game play. All you have to do is interview characters, spot their lies and catch them out! Contradiction is a brand new take on the concept of an interactive movie and brings the genre to a whole new level of playability. It plays as smoothly as a 3D graphic game. You can wander freely around the game environment, collecting evidence and witnessing constantly changing events. But the game is all about interviewing the characters you meet, questioning them about all the evidence you’ve collected and things you’ve seen, then spotting contradictions in their answers. Pair two contradictions together and watch them try to worm out of it! Works best plugged into a TV preferably with a bunch of people to help spot the lies - but can be played alone on your laptop or PC just fine! The legacy version of the game with French subtitles by Pierre-Laurent Batut is also available for download on a Beta branch, again instructions are pinned to the top of the discussions forum.Поддерживаемые языки: english

Loads of fun!! So unique and interesting. Gameplay is simple yet very engaging. Loved all the actors!
Quite a short 'who done it' game with an masterfully done story that keeps you guessing. 4/5
A bit tedious going back and forth to interview each person of interest each time a new clue comes up, but that goes with the territory. Story, cut scenes and Jenksy were enjoyable. Looking forward to Contradiction 2!
What a great game! I would play many more like this--clever and creative. More, please.
I recommended this game to my friend who hates videogames, and he loved it. Please Tim Follin, make more games like this, everyone loves them.
I loved it. The acting was brilliant, navigation was uncomplicated, the scenes were on point - I was able to immersive myself and be a part of the story and the best part was finding clues and analysing. I was a little disappointed that it was so short and I am looking forward to the next one. Well done.
If I did.... THIS: 👍
Would it mean anything to you?
A very solid FMV experience, especially if you're into mysteries. Controller support is surprisingly good. My only complaint is the tedium of having to stop-by-stop check every single location when you're unsure where to go next. There was a period in the game where I spent 10-20m just going to the same locations over and over again to see if I missed anything. Besides that a solid 9/10 FMV game. Definitely aged well.
simple, short whodunnit game, very enjoyable, the story goes places I did not expect it to. unfortunately the controls are very bad and there are lots of loose ends at the end and after 10 years I don't think it will get a sequel but I enjoyed what I played and I can recommend it wholeheartedly. the characters are likable, the dialogue is good.
Was an enjoyable little solve the mystery game, and can see where they wanted to be a little creative and unlike others. Going with the Video and the questions/contradiction system takes a little getting used to but does make sense as one goes along. Just be advised if done right it's a One and Done.
Absolutely loved it. Can't wait the potential sequel. Also would love trading cards for this game. <3
Lots of fun. Man actor is the best.
Fun investigation, intriguing story
It's ok to try this format once, but I wouldn't play another one of these.
The acting is cheesy, but I don't think that's an issue. It actually has a certain cheesy charm. My issue is, as a puzzle/investigation game, this doesn't really work.
1. You're only allowed to find contradictions between two statements by the same person. You can't confront someone about something another person mentioned, or about a certain piece of evidence. This limits and slows you down quite a lot, creating a mismatch between what your character knows and what you know. For example, I immediately saw the window was taped with the same tape as the driving license , but I couldn't ask about it until the very end.
2. There's little logic in what comes next. Basically, instead of getting a clue and choosing the direction of your investigation based on that clue, you just walk around all the NPCs, mechanically asking them about it, and then calling the chief. Then you know you have all information there is to know, and start looking for contradictions. Not a very creative process, no real "a-ha" moments.
3. The things people choose to lie about are... pretty silly. It's usually something pretty obvious, or even unnecessary, to lie about.
All in all, interesting idea, but not the best game experience.
Love the cheesy acting
Feels like murder mystery theatre but you're at home
It's like Clue but with video
Great story, acting, and video quality. Some typos and UI errors here and there, but they don't distract me from enjoying the game. Controller support was nice.
This FMV game is utterly amazing. If you read between the lines, it is an in-depth critique of Ayn Rand's philosophy with a muder-mystery keeping all the viewers hooked. It was so much fun and was packed with symbolic tones and imagery. This will be an instant classic for me. I look forward to showing this game to my friends and family.
If you love murder-mysteries and enjoy symbolic analysis of deep philosophical principles, get this game. I look forward to the next release by this studio!
This game is unique, incredible and I wish there were more like it, and that the developer made a sequel! I can't recommend it enough.
Such a fun mystery game like no other that I've played. I loved the quaint English village atmosphere and talking with all of the characters. The story kept me guessing until the end and I would LOVE to see more in the series. Would highly recommend to any fans of the Nancy Drew games.
Take this from a lover of mystery. An engaging story that works and tickles your brain in all the right places as you put yourself in the shoes of the tireless Detective Jenks. All I can say I hope that we can still more of the detective and the team who created him and this wonderful journey of mystery and intrigue
Fun and lighthearted FMV game.
I loved the characters and the over the top acting.
The main game mechanic works for the majority of the game, with only a couple of section where it is actually hard to remember the detail that make that two specific sentences a contradiction, but the experience was overall very positive.
Absolutely recommended!
As others have said, this is a total cringe-fest after 2-3 hours. Terrible dialogue. Very tedious and linear with arbitrary progress gates.
I've played it before and I loved it. I like the atmosphere: the wind and leaves and slight rustic rustling of the little village, the nice smooth transitions between screens, the way it all ties together to realize the setting and get the person playing into the shoes of the detective. Something about the acting overall came across a bit amateurish but really endearing and with character. Catching the various folks in a lie is very satisfying, especially since doing so directly sparks the direction of the plot in a natural way; it's very rewarding and makes you pay more closer attention. I can happily recommend.
Was the game horrible, noooo.. technically not horrible, but there are aspects of it that I find problematic, and if there's ever a future in this type of genre of games, I hope they'll take this these opinions into consideration. My main issue the things that would clearly be a contradiction you can't use to point out, furuther more, if you're getting statements from several people, you should be able to compare the statements to get the truth, if you have several people stating a time someone was seen somehwere, and ONE person stating a different place that person was scene at the same time, why can't you point that out? further more... and I don't know how to do this without it being a spoiler, but it's not something you can do anything with because the game doesn't recognize it being a contradiction... someone had died previously, and it was set a time period before atlas, but it was also mentioned that something that is suppose to have been done at the same date of this death, was also happens to be done during atlas days, (spoiler part here, the whole reason why atlas is a new name) but you can't point that out anywhere, the time line is all sorts of messed up because of these statements. It would be nice to have a notepad to write your own notes in and make your own timeline to follow, and compare contradictions to THOSE notes instead of just one person's own words. MAYBE this would be easier to follow if that was the system you could use? It took me about over 3 hrs to complete this game, DON'T know if I'd ever try a sequel if one were to be made unless these glaring issues were thought about.
👌
I love this game and have replayed it a few times now. Wish they'd make a sequel!
This was a very fun and un-serious mystery and I loved every minute of it, granted there were times where I got a bit lost and frustrated but overall this was a very enjoyable FMV with a very interesting mystery at it's centre. Also for being 9 years old I feel like its aged very well.
RIP Paul Darrow <3
Game was brilliant from start to finish. I enjoyed the acting, the plot and the twists. Wish there were more like this.
Small budget indie FMV. It was a nice game to play when I didn't want' something too involved.
This game is amazing Rupert Booth as Jenks and his interactions are just the best!
really nice FMV game played with my wife and we both were hooked. Needs a sequel!
Unreal. Spent all night on this with my friends. Great acting 10/10
Very well made. In my opinion one of the best FMVs I've played so far.
Great game, greater acting. Best enjoyed with friends.
Overall an excellent game, especially if you're into FMV games. The writing was pretty solid, the plot was interesting, the acting, filming and sounds were very well done. The gameplay can get a bit repetitive as you have to go back and forth between locations many, many times as you uncover more information, and sometimes it's very not obvious what to do when you get stuck. I would suggest utilizing the hint system frequently in those cases, and if you're still stuck you can always go to the web. I also wish it were a bit longer as it left quite a lot of plot elements unexplored. But definitely give it a go.
Played for about an hour and enjoying the game. I'm engrossed, having a lovely time when it crashes. I reboot and and have to start the entire thing over. Now I have to watch an hour's worth of unskippable videos just to get back to where I left off.
This could be prevented by any one of the following.
1. An autosave feature
2. Allowing the player to skip videos
3. Properly debugging the game so it doesn't crash abruptly
I do not think there will a followup game.
if you are missing some good old FMV fun, this will scratch the itch. The controls are simple, but the sheer amount of statements given by the later parts means that you'll have an easier time if you actively pay attention. There are lots of loose threads so I hope they repeat this in some form, even if they decide not to follow the story started here.
The acting was great (especially if you like cheesy performances), the peaking mics during yelling made it 10x better.
I didn't know the UK got so wacky. I love Inspector Jenks!
