About Contradiction: Spot The Liar
Contradiction: Spot The Liar is an adventure‑mystery title that presents its entire experience through live‑action video. Players move freely through scenes, gather evidence, and interrogate characters to uncover false statements. The core loop revolves around pairing contradictory answers and exposing the lies. While it runs smoothly like a 3D game, it can be enjoyed solo on a PC or shared on a TV with a group, and it supports Steam’s single‑player, achievement, cloud, and Remote Play Together features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Interview Mechanics
The game’s primary activity is interviewing characters you encounter. After collecting evidence, you question them about what you have seen, then look for contradictions in their responses. Pairing two contradictory statements triggers a reaction from the character.
Spotting contradictions is the only way to progress, as the narrative unfolds through these confrontations. The game focuses on dialogue analysis, with interviewing and contradiction-spotting at its heart.
- Take notes on each character’s statements to compare later.
- Re‑watch earlier video clips if a contradiction isn’t obvious at first.

Free Exploration
Players can wander freely around the game environment, moving between rooms and locations as they would in a 3D graphic game. This movement lets you discover new evidence and trigger events.
The environment changes constantly, so revisiting areas after new information is gathered can reveal additional clues or new character interactions.
- Explore every accessible doorway; evidence can turn up as you explore beyond the main path.
- Observe changes in the scene after each interview to spot new opportunities.

Social Play Options
Contradiction works best when played on a TV with several people helping to spot lies, but it also supports Remote Play Together, allowing friends to join virtually. The experience is still single‑player at its core.
The game’s design encourages discussion among players, as multiple eyes can catch contradictions that a single player might miss.
