Contradiction is a fully interactive crime drama. Everything you see is live-action video, with real actors in atmospheric locations. You decide where to go, where to investigate, who to speak to and what to ask. As the story unfolds you'll meet new people, witness new events and discover new places.
You investigate with Inspector Jenks, who has been assigned to the case of a student found murdered in an idyllic English country village.
You meet several characters during the game, most of whom you can visit as often as you like. You can ask these characters about any item of evidence or information that you've collected along the way.
The aim (and name) of the game is to spot contradictions in what they've said. By consulting your notes and pairing together two contradictory replies, Jenks will interrogate the character and they will be forced to reveal new information, allowing you to progress further through the game.
Reveal all the contradictions to complete the game! Playing with headphones a must for a complete experience.
Contradiction is also available in HD and with added features on Steam for PC and Mac.

Amazing

I'm a huge point & click adventure fan & this game takes it to a whole new level. It's gorgeous & the gameplay is amazing. Trying to figure out a contradiction has you using your deduction & reasoning skills. When you finally do figure one out the game opens up to more dialog & contradictions. Very well done!
Surprisingly great!

I purchased this hoping it would be decent enough to finish, I figured it would give me about 2 hours of gameplay and I'd be at least slightly amused through out. $7 seems like allot, but truly this game is fantastic! I've been playing for almost 3 hours and I'm only 26% done with the game. I was expecting cheesy bad acting, but no, the acting is pretty good, definitely higher calibre than I expected. I'm completely immersed in this story and though, at least as it stands right now, I'm pretty certain of how it's going to end, I'm not disappointed by that and at 26% I'll still be pleasantly surprised I'm sure. If you like point and click adventures, puzzle games, detective stories, or just want something completely different to play that will last you about 8hours to play though at least, you should definitely give this a shot. The only thing I can say about this that is a "negative" is that there is allot of backtracking and go back and forth between interviewees that can get repetitive, but i don't think it takes away from immersion or the story at all, at least for me.
Wonderful Surprise!

Was not sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Both with the quality of the acting as well as the cinematography. Definitely worth the price of admission, and as an added bonus there are absolutely NO IAP! ???
Bugs so far

I might like it if it were not so buggy. Thirty seconds after booting it up, I get intermittent sound only and a lot of input lag.
Great fmv murder mystery!

This game took me back to the days of gabriel knight 2. It's a great murder mystery, made with a shoestring budget, but with great production values. The acting is excellent and the story is entertaining, the puzzles are generally fair, although the last two are a bit obscure. Anyway, highly recommended!
Contradiction-saying you enjoy this game

Boring, tedious, worse than a point-and-click adventure from the 80s. The real contradiction would be saying that the game is enjoyable!
Great Mystery
PickyKMM5
This was an interesting mystery, with twists and turns and lots to figure out. The game really centers on the story -- on paying attention to the bits of information you are able to obtain from witnesses over time, and finding (as the name suggests) logical inconsistencies, which give rise to new information that then moves the story forward. The acting was fun. I didn't experience any bugs.
Heavily Occult Oriented
BottleRocket_
When a game is heavily oriented towards the occult, there should be a disclaimer stating such. It’s the same issue with The Room.
This game rules.

Best acting. Best plots. Best hand gestures. Thank you Giant Bomb for introducing me to it and to Tim Follin for making such a terrific game.
So much fun
starla9
A wonderful story-driven game where you solve a murder mystery by interviewing suspects and catching them out in their own lies. The writing and acting are top-notch with a knowing bit (ok more than a bit!) of humor about the entire thing and a story that goes wonderfully, insanely crazy places. You get quite a few hours of gameplay here for the price, so if you like stories and adventure games..BUY THIS!
