Contradiction should be credited for two things: First, it is, quite possibly, the FMV with the best looking video quality, with an above average directing and production values. Second, it introduced an interesting puzzle system where all the clues, items… are presented in a “testimony” window (along with character’s comments on it), and like the name of the game suggests, you need to find the “contradictions” in these interviews to make the progress. There is some nice detective work to be done looking for two statements that contradict each other, but the problem is that it is basically the only type of “puzzle” in the game - big, solid puzzle yes, but you’ll be the judge if that’s enough to keep you occupied until the end.

I have mixed feelings about the game. I enjoyed it at first, the detective is quite a character, the FMV is great, like you said. But the whole thing was convoluted, not just the one type of puzzle, the entire story too. In the end it became a drag, I just wanted it to be over.

I’ve yet to play this (apart from launching the game and going through the first couple of minutes), but the quality of the FMV and its direction was already apparent in the vids for their very first Kickstarter campaign, imo.
