#33 Contradiction: Spot the Liar!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/8/8/AABIPnAADl1M.jpg

I've never played this game either, but it's an FMV game so who cares. And I've watched the Giant Bomb East playthrough of the game probably 10+ times, and I also bought it for my mom and sister, who both loved it, and they never like games, so it must be good.

Contradiction takes an ingenious approach to interactive storytelling: you have to listen to suspects talk about each piece of evidence you've found so far, and find contradictions in what they say. When you highlight the contradiction in your big UI notebook, you advance the story, and get new pieces of evidence, and so on.

This is so much better than typical interactive storytelling: I don't have to "guess" at what the best dialogue option is, I don't have to play an RPG in between cutscenes, AND I'm 100% rewarded for thinking ABOUT the story.

Please somebody make more games like this, it's so good.

Also there's a hint system, and IMO every puzzley video game should have a hint system.
