About

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.

Contradiction would be really enjoyable on its own, but for an FMV fan like myself, it's impossible to separate it from the delight at seeing a much-maligned genre beginning to find its place. Developers like Follin have taken something that, let's be honest, never worked that well to begin with, out to the woodshed, dismantled it and reassembled its core components into something that really makes sense.

The contradiction system is generally rewarding, and the story, while not incredibly engrossing, kept me interested in progressing despite my growing desire to murder the menu. A decent murder mystery game that suffers heavily from poor controls and menus.

One aspect I really enjoyed is the way the developer expands the gameplay. Finishing one portion opens up more characters and locations - locations that could not be explored prior.

Contradiction - Spot The Liar! è stato una bellissima sorpresa per chi scrive, che da sempre prova una certa idiosincrasia per i giochi pieni di full motion video. Lo sviluppatore Baggy Cat è riuscito invece a sfruttare i filmati senza lasciargli schiacciare la struttura di gioco. Il risultato è un'avventura investigativa di primo livello che colpisce e cattura fino alla sua conclusione.
