The primary impression I get of the protagonist is that he's playing the Doctor, except he's not the Doctor, he's just some guy. Bold acting choice.

[@HaloSlapProductions]

I want a full playthrough from the Mcelroy Brothers

[@norge0209]

I want to know who the killer is!

[@theWeaverofTales]

Yo Jill dunno if you've watched a playthrough yet, since your comment is like a year old, but I definitely recommend Dodger & Jesse Cox's playthrough of it ;u; It's no McElroy vid, but it's still a goddamn delight

[@norge0209]

@@theWeaverofTales Well, I’m five years late with my reply, but I did, indeed, end up watching a playthrough. I loved it!

[@costlyblood1927]

I fucking love games where you can show stupid items to every character in the game and get a different response, in Broken Sword 2 you get the opportunity to play an adult man who compulsively asks peoples' opinion on a pair of lace panties he just happens to carry in his pocket

[@snowballeffect7812]

the BIKE DID IT!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

[@AM-ow3gn]

Rewatched this because of Secret Sleepover Society's recent stream playing through (unsurprisingly, a fair overlap in audiences there!). It just gets more fun to watch these acting clips.

[@sjcaustenite]

The last guy in the video is the late actor Paul Darrow, who had a long career, especially in shows like Blake's 7. He also appeared in a classic Doctor Who story...and there's Doctor Who DVDs on the shelf in one of the scenes. So British.

[@kaitmarie6505]

The detective makes such bizarre acting choices

[@Simon74]

that ending.

[@latrodectahespara2728]

"So it's YOUR bike at the moment" N...No? It's his cousin's bike? That's being lent to him?

[@Erythrothanatron]

So it's called Contradiction because it's a new game, but it's also an FMV game?

[@undergroundmonorail]

This game seems great based only on my love of Ace Attorney. It reminds me of the Investigations series, in that the "cross-examination" gameplay is mixed in with the investigation. "Only one night and time ticks forward when you reach certain parts of the story" is very Ghost Trick-esque, as well.

[@BluesMoth64]

"Shoot a truth bullet at them." Danganronpa!

[@eclate23]

Why does griffin know about danganronpa. This has haunted me ever since i saw this overview.

[@strange_advice]

This video made me buy this, because home brew is cool.

[@suburbanindie]

"No."

[@anthonyb4479]

not me contributing a few more adsense cents by tuning in five years later to tick up that view count by one

[@user-sg6ww7ts6n]

a mcelroy video i’ve yet to watch... SCRUMPTIOUS.

[@CCNuck]

This actually looks really fun.

[@_teagan]

every time i watch this video im floored by how pretty that blond actor is and feel compelled to look them up, every time i do im reminded that theyre nonbinary and it brightens my day :^)

[@UltimateBurstLP]

What, seriously? That's awesome! :,D

[@UnbridledWeeping]

My day has been brightened just reading this comment thank u for sharing it’s always good to see my fellow non binary ppl represented :^)

[@pureicefire]

What's their name?

[@ghostification]

whAT I LOVE THEM??

[@pastilakompot6912]

+Aeniith Conlangs I looked it up, their name is Magnus Sinding.

[@politechjunky]

Time travel is amazing, how is The Doctor in this game

[@amish_tech_support]

Simon looks like Conan O'Brien.

[@drskelebone]

Thanks, Drawfee, for reminding me of this.

[@alfalfa_art]

Reminds me of the Nancy Drew games

[@alfalfa_art]

Like a very good Nancy Drew game tbh, I'd play this

[@IggyMontpellierPro]

9:03 - Oh yes.

[@edgarjacksby1402]

Made by legendary video-game composer Tim Follin (i am not kidding)!

[@radeklew1]

🤘

[@CJJC]

9:04 Tons of old Doctor Who and Escape Into Night? This game must have stolen part of my DVD collection while I was out.

[@thepantweaver]

Is this Ernest Goes to England?

[@Epinardscaramel]

FMV fetish :)

[@simonkeane]

Trying to jump on the Giant Bomb Contradiction hype train eh?

[@papakep]

I doubt there was anything but Justin's love of FMV games that caused them to do this overview

[@stealthgrrr]

Simon Keane Any new FMV game is mandatory for Hoops. Also, everyone's been playing this magic!

[@polygon]

Simon Keane We love Giant Bomb! But Justin's love of FMV games goes back a looooong way :D

[@simonkeane]

Haha, no worries. Was just making a joke :p
