Bought this game after realising it was made by the same people in At Dead Of Night... 6 hours later and I had already completed it... Damn it was an amazing game! FMV deserves more love when it's done right.
Yeah, FMV is amazing (and can be more accessible for creators used to filmmaking). It’s a shame that because a lot of the experience is video based many people just watch let’s-plays and don’t buy the games themselves (no shame on that if they can’t afford it though, I’m still saving up myself to buy this game and At Dead of Night). I want to create a FMV myself since it’s the perfect meeting point of writing, filmmaking, and acting, but it’s scary that you could spend so much time and money for no return. I guess that’s similar to all game-making though, haha. It’s just a bigger risk with FMV sadly.
@@izstrella I totally agree. Maybe they can find a way of allowing people to RENT FMV games in the future. I mean it's an interactive movie, the play time will be just a few hours, it's not worth really paying 60$. If they made it possible to rent for like 3-5$/24h, a lot of people would try FMV games.
@@VigorHabitus • That might be a good idea. I guess it would be hard though since FMVs can cost just as much as other video games to make so pulling the price down that much might really hinder the creator and undervalue the work. But on the other hand if people can’t afford $60 they won’t buy the game at all. Renting could be really useful for people who otherwise wouldn’t want to invest in a less-replayable format. And hey, for the people who really end up loving the game and want to own it they could pay the $60 afterwards to keep it!
And I just finished up watching a walkthrough of contradiction after watching multiple at dead of night let's plays and I even noticed some elements that both games shared ( specifically the scrying mirror and the harp string sound effect when something happens ) and it sucks that there had to be sequel bait but hopefully at some point contradiction 2 will happen
@@VigorHabitus Yes indeed. Are you considering a sequel to this game? I'd love to buy them as a package deal. I feel like there were hints that scrying mirrors will become important.
@@nairinocea9693 There is room for a sequel, unfortunately the FMV market ain't doing well. I guess people don't want to spend money on short games. Check out this link for some other cool FMV games: fmvworld.com/games1.html
@@VigorHabitus I am so sorry. I literally have enjoyed your games more than most movies released in the last 5 years. (besides Parasite which was amazing). I am happy to purchase this game.
Honestly the game developers need more recognition! At dead of night was amazing, I don't really play horror games but I watched playthroughs, and I just absolutely love how it's all live action. It's so different and new
I really had a forgotten soft spot for FMV games. After playing this game that spot grew tender once more. It really inspires me to want to make a game similar to this one.
@@patrikbengtsson3883 Phone boxes in this country are rarely working - relics of an age when people didn't carry phones in their pockets the whole time. For a while they were "unofficially" converted by local drunks into extremely un-private urinals, but honestly these days you're more likely to find a book-lending service, or a defib, or wifi hotspot, inside one than a phone, and they tend to have fewer wee puddles. Progress!
Thinking of buying this game instead, I'm too scared to try At Dead of Night lmaooo but this kind of detective games reminds me of the Nancy Drew games I played as a child.
Detective could’ve solved the murder long before 12am had he just paid attention to the following leads 1. Tape on the license 2. Tape used to stick trash bag on smashed window 3. Emma’s affair with Ryan 4. 500 quid cheque to Kate 5. Argument between Kate and Emma in the night of Kate’s death The whole Atlas/Red Eye thing is a big red herring.
ryan reminds me of Tim Curry and his father reminds me of Alan Rickman. Ryans wife was always a suspect but there are still so much more to solve with this.
Love the gameplay and intrigue! Story ending felt anticlimatic though with all the buildup Really? A spouse killing their partner's lover? That's an old misconception that getting rid of the lover will make the partner loyal to you
That's true. But even with that, still one of the best adventure FMV's I've ever played. It's a shame there isn't a real market for games like these :(
It's neither. You just had different interests in video games. The genre that uses real people is called FMV, which stands for FULL MOTION VIDEO. It's been going since the 90s, but at lower resolution. These days it's like watching a movie in HD. :)
Am I the only one who didnt like it? They answered almost NO QUESTION! I know, I know. Jenks mentions that many things have been left unanswered, said that he only had scratched the surface BUT Kate dying because Rebecca suspecting her? I mean we spend 3/4 on Atlas and at the end the thing has nothing to do with it? Atlas had no connection at all? Im extremely disappointed but I hope the sequel will make up for it and also solve Liam's case.

It's interesting watching this after At Dead of Night. My first watch of this game.
Simon does a comedy act at the Seaview, you should check it out, its a hit with the students.
Gonna try that soon. Thanks for bringing it up!

Simon ran off to Sea view hotel and became Jimmy!
Oh my gosh you’re right!
pardon i know this is stupid but hes yummy!
@@KimberlyFaith260 and that sign meant i love you! *tossing the gesture to Simon* ooh la laaah!
um and later...martha. a woman. but its ok. she is loved
Contradiction: Spot the Liar! is definitely an underrated game.
Totally
Hard to believe 3 years have passed. Hope you're doing well.
YOOOO I thought it was just me! I love this game, wish they made a sequel
When you realised Simon is the same actor as Jimmy from At Dead of Night: THE HELL, HE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT...
Bruh........ his hair color did it for me.
@@LunarSpawnSerenata he looks hot doesn't he
WHATTT omgg.... I didnt realise... but still i thought they both were quite handsome... lmao it was one person all along haha XD
@@hconfection4433 years later became SIMONE. Sad but true. fyi thats not his real name. huld transitioned
and the three freedoms im tossing to HIM! pity! he's just not into gals now lol
I think my favorite moments in the game are Ryan's outburst to the point of spilling his drink, and Jenks bitchslapping Kyle without giving two fucks.
This is more engrossing than many movies I have seen. Very well done.
Yes it is, and if you have the chance, play it yourself, it's soooooo immersive, you'll love it!

funny when Ryan can`t drink his drinks because Jenks ask him something

Do it do it do it! FMV’s have an especially amazing place in horror games because of the reality-warping feel so it could be extra effective there.
@@izstrella SO True!! There is this surreal vibe in them.
What a brilliant game! You can tell that the actors really enjoyed making it too!
This reminds me of the DVD special features games that I played a lot of as a kid
Holy crap I forgot about those! You're right!
At dead of night brought me here 🌚
same lmao
I clicked right away when I saw JIMMY in the thumbnail!!!
Wait thats the actor jimmy
@@Skulldude-yj9kg the same actor who played Jimmy from at dead of night yes!!!
Oh okay
Huld Martha is the actor
Yeah remember he dye his blonde and guys is huld martha I know actors names not some
Everyone is talking about Jenks, but let's be honest, James really stole the show.
This and at dead of night is REALLY GOOD
I do hope these game devs decide to do more games in the future!
search up at dead of night: the great Hugo leak and they’re making a sequel :)
@@MPSINHO yooooo
Rest in Peace Paul Darrow, (the father figure)
Nice little reference to Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged (Paul Rand is the CEO of Atlas, Ayn Rand the author of the novel Atlas Shrugged).
Just played it after learning about this game incredible!
am i the only one who is reminded of the 10th and 11th doctor?! :D
yes you are
No, I was reminded of 10 quite strongly! Though, it could be mostly the accent.
1:21:41
Unless I have bad eye sight but I don't think Ryan's phone is even on.
A functioning phone box that doesn't smell of wee?
This game is so unrealistic! :P
What do you mean by that?

It’s a four hour game and it’s not scary.
Detective could’ve solved the murder long before 12am had he just paid attention to the following leads
1. Tape on the license
2. Tape used to stick trash bag on smashed window
3. Emma’s affair with Ryan
4. 500 quid cheque to Kate
5. Argument between Kate and Emma in the night of Kate’s death
The whole Atlas/Red Eye thing is a big red herring.
I believe the Atlas thing was supposed to play a bigger part in another FMV game that just never got made.
ryan reminds me of Tim Curry and his father reminds me of Alan Rickman. Ryans wife was always a suspect but there are still so much more to solve with this.
omg no way I saw Alan Rickman in the father as well, the way he looks and talks, they could be identical twins
Did he just steal that screwdriver? 6:18
is simon jimmy???
Same actor I think!
It's the same actor :D
It took me far too long to connect Ryan Rand, Atlas business lectures and the philosophy of objectivism. I am not on the ball today :)
Written and directed by Tim Follin. Anyone who owned a Spectrum or commodore in the 80's will get a chill down his spine when he'll see that. I did
you heart drop to your stomach huh
Damn I want more of this game
RIP Paul Darrow
Ohhhhh lord
21:31 OMG that At Dead Of Night reference :0 that completely blew my mind.
That was actually before!
This is like watching a movie xD damn this is good
3:37:38 I would react the same way and slap someone who says to me that I'm a pig!!
I can't believe the ending!
Pretty bad ngl
Love the gameplay and intrigue! Story ending felt anticlimatic though with all the buildup

Another similar game to this is. The Dame was Loaded and then Tex Murphy (under a killing moon, pandora directive, overseer and Tesla Effect)
Feels like I’m watching a movie.
Apparently it's all about Simon's home brew.
DAMN WHAT A SURPISE
Ryan’s father is SO gonna be the next Alan Rickman
This aged badly because now they’re both dead
I thought exactly the same thing!
In real life?
You're not wrong. He's British and dead.
1:21:15 still sipping that same glass
That's crazy that I've never seen a video game use real people and real settings before. Is this ground breaking or am I just ignorant?

We're all just supposed to believe that Simon is 23/24. Okay then.
Love the music
great murder mystery outstanding game
If I did THIS🤟would that mean anything to you?
this is so good its like a movie ! 👍
im always scared if someone comes and shoot Jenks with weapon
It’s Jimmy! RUUUN!!!
Good Film , i like it :))
lol, i know this is a game :)
simon have a jimiy's sound ?
Kyle is more handsome with mask
i agree
where did you find this game? i've looked and all i found were downloads you have to Purchase
To think this was made by Tim Follin.
I Wish there would be a Sequel
And yet...
denytheentry Simon makes home brew
would t h i s mean anything to you?
Simon has a screwdriver

The Detective is a little bit over the top! These faces he makes... jeez! Emma looks sooo much like Asia Argento! Doppelganger!
Thats the best part!
I agree but I think the facial expressions are supposed to add humour

(Walks into comment section)
What would you think if I left a comment like this: \m/
I first saw this game when one of my favorite streamers was playing it and we all just kept making fun of the hand signal.
Jimmy is the best actor
That was amazing!
What can u get this game on
This is the best FMV game I have ever played/found.
Am I the only one who didnt like it? They answered almost NO QUESTION!
