    There are suggestive sexual themes, but I haven't seen sexual imagery. I'm 40% through and it's been building with satanic images and then into rituals.

    I know. I would have played this already had it been universal. As it isn't, I just haven't gotten around to enjoying it yet.
     
  6. I mentioned that to the dev, but I can understand why he hasn't done it yet. I really don't know how he could fit all that comfortably on such a small screen.

    True. It's always a challenge overcoming that. But seeing that Baldur's Gate and KOTOR did it, I believe it can be done with any app. Menus would have to be different though, so it might end up being more work than what it's worth.

    Loving the game so far, very interesting and the first of the type I've played. It's quickly becoming one of my favourites, but I have found a bit of a problem - I started up a second game alongside the first and lost my saves, so have to start again now.
     
  9. From what I understand, the sales didn't even pay back what he spent making the game, so I don't think he can justify all that work to get it to a smaller screen. :(

    And while I agree, it's nice to have something better than nothing (as someone who had only an iPhone until a few months ago and missed out on so many games because of lack of iPad), sometimes it's not the best idea. Her Story is really really cramped on my iPhone 5, that I'm basically telling friends with no iPad to get it on PC instead. I think this might be even worse, since there's a lot of info to scroll through and keep track of. Maybe an iPhone 6+? But seems like a lot of work for one device. I think the whole layout would have to be rebuilt to get it on iPhone. Last I heard he was working to bring it to PC, but I'm not sure how that's coming along.

    I'm pretty sure it's passed Steam Greenlight and will be released very soon.

    How does this compare to Her Story? I have that, is this similar? Better/different? I'm enjoying that at the moment
     
  12. The only thing they really have in common is the live footage. And the excellent acting/script. They're both high quality games and I'd definitely recommend getting both. But Contradiction is more of a game, requires more input/sleuthing from you than Her Story does to progress.

    I also wrote a review a few months back:

    As I said before, Contradiction is the first of its type I've played. I haven't got Her Story yet so it's only a guess, but it seems to me that contradiction is a fuller experience in that regards. The videos followed on smoothly, the little clips while returning to the road etc were seamless and it all just fit together perfectly. The hint system is a little vague, but when you finally find the contraction, you'll most likely kick yourself for not realising it sooner. It doesn't seem possible to play two games at once as I lost my first save trying to do this (but I had 3 calls for help on that one and 0 when I started again ;)) . Unfortunately, this type of game doesn't seem to have much replayability unless you've a mind like a sieve (I knew it was good for something!) but the first experience is more than worth the price of admission.
    I did find myself wanting to ask each character about things others had said about them - not very pertinent to the case, but would have been very interesting all the same. I was disappointed with the ending as it left plenty of room for a sequel that I don't see happening unless there are a lot more sales - I can't imagine what the cost of this production was.
    Especially with the release and popularity of Her Story, I really think the developers should push for more advertising now. A review and a banner on touch arcade would do it the world of good, I bet.

    Help!!!! Like someone else I am stuck at 0% and I swear to god I'm quite savvy...... I have shown Simon the freedom necklace card and heard his reply. I've seen the hint and the only thing I can see is that he didn't doesn't socialise with her outside atlas but he was drinking with her after college. Contradiction?? But when I enter the two statements it doesn't do anything. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I've tried just about every other permutation of statements out of desperation to no avail. When the two statements are a contradiction shouldn't sonething automatically happen? Would love someone to put me out my misery so I can get started!.,
     
  16. I remember being a little confused at first now the contradictions work. It's been a while so I don't remember the actual contradictions. But did you go through the tutorial and make sure you're doing it right? I think I missed some detail in the tutorial at first. You can view the tutorial from the menu at any time.

    I would recommend this over her story, this has something to it other than scrambled video And word searching

    I did enjoy Her Story but I'm a little confused about where all its praise comes from! It was a nice and something different but I would never want to go back to it, even when playing I thought this needs to be finished in one setting.

    I've been dissecting everything with readers on my site. I've never gotten that obsessed with all the little details of a game/story before.

    Back to Contradiction: A few people have asked for a walkthrough recently. I'm thinking about it, but it would be a lot of work (I played it a few months back, so might not even remember all the contradictions). Just wondering how much need there is for one before I invest the time in it.

    Edit: I started a walkthrough. Will take me some time, though, since I need to play the whole game again:
