Interview characters and uncover lies in this live-action murder mystery adventure. Players roam a dynamic environment on PC, gathering evidence and observing unfolding events. The core challenge lies in questioning suspects about findings, detecting inconsistencies in their statements, and linking paired contradictions to expose them.
This indie strategy RPG plays like an interactive movie with seamless controls. It shines on a TV with friends spotting deceptions together, though solo play works well on a laptop.
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.
