Evaluation

Contradiction: Spot The Liar launched on July 10, 2015 as a self-contained live-action murder mystery adventure. In the months following launch, the developer released several small patches addressing controls, bug fixes, and cloud save options. The most recent developer activity was on March 13, 2021, when a significant overhaul update was released for Windows, bringing a new interface, improved controller handling, better video and audio quality, and autosave functionality. At the same time, the original version of the game was preserved on a legacy branch for players who preferred it. No DLC, expansions, or sequels have been announced. The store description makes no reference to future content, and there have been no developer communications since March 2021. The game launched and has been maintained as a complete, standalone product with no post-launch content cycle — the 2021 update represented a quality-of-life overhaul rather than new story content. The game is complete.

About this 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.
