I got this game ages ago, but never played it until now, in 2025. It's a damn good game. Tim Follin did an amazing job with this game, and I regret not playing it sooner. Thank you, Tim!

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.Screenshots
User Reviews
I must say at first that i bought this game because of At dead of Night. And the game is not bad but the some contradictions are a bit far fetched for my taste. But this aside I really like the actors and the whole story. Its really cool to see the story and the characters unfold and the acting is really good. I really like the ambience and the game. I can really highly recommend it.
An absolutely brilliant game. Such clever story building. Made me feel like I was interacting with the TV murder mystery shows I watch. I got so excited when I got to contradict a person during an interview. So many ah ha gotcha moments. I would love to play more games like this.
very good game
The game kept crashing and the achievements would not pop for me :(. I really like the all video style and thought that the set up to the game was very interesting and got me engaged. However, the ending totally dropped the ball and was so rushed. And that really sucks because I think the game has a lot of potential and a sequel would help with these lose plot threads to connect. 5/10 and please let there be a sequel because I really think this idea is cool.
Enjoyable detective game, recommend it highly. The acting is good, at least for the main characters. It's also pleasing that there are no issues (like alcoholism or hostile officials) with the main character that's distracting from the investigation. The contradictions are in nearly all cases logical, and not reaching. What's I'm critical about is that there is not enough investigation about the victim, in the end I knew a lot about the course she was enrolled in, while her personality more diffuse. Would have liked if there was the possibility to raise some contradictions about how she was described at first, and her being [REDACTED]. I also didn't like that three of the suspects was removed from the board at the end, making the guilty one kind of obvious. Also, the final contradiction was kind of annoying, especially since it felt more like an assumption since there was no way (that I found) to visually confirm the contradiction. Would also have like some closure of the sid...
Really enjoying this game. Its has moments where you do have to do some deduction, however it does have some moments that are fairly linear. My biggest issues with the game right now are its menus. These menus look very dated, the title is a long unskippable video which I'm pretty sure is a game sin, and you can soft lock the game by opening load then closing it. Still great experience overall, definitely recommend so far.
What an absolutely wonderful point-and-click murder mystery with a stylised twist. While some of the acting was hammy - I fully expected this, and was pleasantly surprised that the majority of it was well delivered. There's so much effort gone into the production and it plays wonderfully. I streamed this to a friend, and we had an excellent time finding the contradictions. It was a real head-scratcher at times, and we felt so pumped when we solved the clues. Really, really fab. We're miffed that it never did a sequel. I hope they will one day!
