Contradiction: Spot The Liar

Even playing it for the first time in 2026, this game is special. Over the top acting, really fun to piece together mystery, and doesn't overstay its welcome. A fun long single sitting game, especially if you have a puzzle-oriented mind. Nothing prepared me for how satisfying the "a-HA" Jenks makes is.

10/10

Replayed this game after 8 or 9 years, a modern version of an Agatha Christie cozy. Some really excellent acting combined with low budget production values almost gave me vertigo at times. Some of the gameplay was tedious and a couple of the hints were downright wrong (e.g., Call the chief but the chief doesn't answer). Still, it was engaging enough to keep me through to the end, even caring enough to re-watch earlier cutscenes and interview sessions. 3.5/5

A rare FMV game that actually has some gameplay. Short but sweet.

Look, if I could give it a meh, I would. The story is decent and the acting is decent for the budget. What was game breaking was the immersion and the constant back and forth. You're supposed to be a police detective. However, you're CONSTANTLY burglarizing, stealing, harassing, trespassing, and at a point, you assault someone. You literally find something, show it to the person that says it's theirs, then they hand it back to you to keep because reasons... I just couldn't do it. I had a much better time just watching a youtube playthrough.

Amazing <3
