** Also in ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', when a player asks why all the carts he sees are broken and gets this reply:

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'' series, ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' has a number of voiceovers layered over one another at the beginning of its intro, which depicts the expository invasion by the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Strogg]]. One of the voices says the following: "Contact with the colony on Mars will be re-established, and has [[BlatantLies nothing]] to do with the impending arrival of the mysterious aliens."
* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'', a Hulkagon tells you that sometimes it's nice to lie in the grass and bask in the sunshine, and invites you to try it. While casually promising that he "won't crush you underneath his massive foot, leaving only a red smear in the green grass to remember you by. Ahh, sunshine..."
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', Marcus is out to steal a Supersoft, necessary to revive his friend Blank, and Garnet agrees to help. Steiner reluctantly gets dragged into this in order to protect Garnet. When Doctor Tot (the character who owns the Supersoft) finds the three in his basement, Steiner ''insists'' that there's a perfectly good reason for it, and that they're not there to steal it or do anything else illegal.
** An even better example is this exchange:
-->'''Steiner:''' Have you seen a young girl around?\\
'''Four-Armed Man:''' What? I haven't seen any beautiful girl with long black hair...\\
'''Steiner:''' What did you say?!\\
'''Four-Armed Man:''' N-Nothing! And I certainly didn't take any money from her!

In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice." The suspicious denial creates the expectation that the cube will speak, which it doesn't (although at least one other test subject ''thinks'' it does).

The last leader of the Darkstalkers [[spoiler:was the dreadlord whom the Horde kills]], and then he just stands there... looking suspiciously unspecific...
** A profession quest in Thunder Bluff has you gathering "magic" mushrooms for a recipe the quest giver wants to try. The item description for the mushrooms describes them as "Delicious and completely absent of psychedelic properties."
** A Goblin on the Orgrimmar-Undercity zeppelin insists that there is no chance the zeppelin will explode into a ball of flames like a "helium bomb", which may be less of a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial when you consider that [[MadeOfExplodium all Goblin technology has a penchant for exploding]].
** A Goblin Glider specifically notes that it "usually won't catch fire".
* Invoked by the Colonel in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty''. Whenever Raiden asks him about Iroquois Pliskin/Solid Snake, his usual reply is "Do not trust ''that man''. He's not a factor in this ''simulation''."
** In the [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon NES sequel]] to ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', ''VideoGame/SnakesRevenge'', an enemy spy disguised as an ally tries to gain Snake's trust by giving him such obviously specific denials such as "there are no traps in that car" or "there are no enemies". This is likely done unintentionally due to the game's [[BlindIdiotTranslation questionable translation]].
*** Interestingly enough, ''Snake's Revenge'' was made ''specifically'' for the European and American markets, and was never released in Japan (even though a Japanese team designed it). Making its linguistic faults even more hilarious.
*** Big Boss is NOT AFRAID OF VAMPIRES.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':

** [[AnIcePerson Cirno]] about her hobby of creating [[HumanPopsicle frog popsicles]]: "This isn't playing, this is ice training. I'm definitely not doing it because frozen frogs are cute, or because their cries are annoying, or because it's exciting when juggling them because they might break."
** ''Imperishable Night'' pulls this off at many passes. Keine hid the Human Village with her power and tells all the teams that there's "nothing around here." [[CloudCuckooLander Yuyuko]] blames the endless night she caused (in her scenario) on the last boss, to the last boss's face, and is called out by [[OnlySaneMan Youmu]]. Magic Team does this [[IncrediblyLamePun all night long]]:
-->Marisa: C'mon, surrender those humans to us now.\\

Marisa: [[PullTheThread Okay, it's enough, I give up.

-->'''B-4D4:''' Thank you, T1-N1. Please do not abuse my trust and fire on the guards outside, thereby creating a diversion while I escape with the stolen files.
* One Team Rocket agent in the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games will thoughtfully inform you that there is nothing behind the poster at the Celadon Game Corner. Naturally, when you whup the Rocket agent guarding it, you can pull a switch to reveal their main base.
** The tradition is proudly continued in [=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=], where the sign outside their Mahogany Town base (opposite what is definitely not a fake tree with a radio antenna sticking out of the top. What are you talking about?) reads "Just a Souvenir Shop, Nothing Suspicious about It, No Need to Be Alarmed."
** And also in [=HeartGold/SoulSilver=] (don't remember if there was such a line in the GSC originals), upon reaching Azalea Town, a Team Rocket grunt is seen in an argument with some dude, then bumping him and having him run away, and then closing the path to the Slowpoke Well. And when the player talks to him, he states that "Nothing is going on".
** In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Emerald]]'', when you run into [[TheRival Brendan]] at the Lilycove Department Store, he will specifically state that he wasn't buying any Dolls (a decoration). Without you bothering to ask him...
** In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', a Team Plasma [[{{Mooks}} Grunt]] in Castelia City guarding one of Team Plasma's hide outs says that there are no other Team Plasma members nor any of the Seven Sages in the building behind him...despite the fact all you did was walk up to the guy.
** A trainer who gets in your way on the Village Bridge in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' refuses to get out of your way unless you beat him in a battle and says you definitely shouldn't try to go around him by surfing across the water below the bridge, because it won't work.
* ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'', Jess did not put her medicine in Nikki's sandwich to test it out, really! Or that she panicked and ran back to make an antidote!
* In ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'', if you're a member of the Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts, Izzy the Lizard will offer you a quest to build a new meatcar, because he was mugged by gnolls.
-->'''Izzy:''' Yeah, mugged. Totally. And they stole the meatcar. Nothing to do with a poker game at all.
** Uncle P's Antiques, also on the Wrong Side of the Tracks, is "absolutely, positively a legitimate establishment, and not a front for any sort of criminal activities."
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''[='=]s Psy-Pedia precedes [[http://www.doublefine.com/Psycho-pedia/Linda/ Linda's]] page with a very detailed and anonymously written disclaimer assuring you that this page is a mistake, there is no mutated lungfish monster controlled by someone at the bottom of the lake, and that any suspicions or inquiries of such should be directed towards [[ButHeSoundsHandsome your devilishly handsome and talented Coach, Morceau Oleander]].
* ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' has this line, when Kat thinks of where to get the resources for their new plan:
-->'''Kat:''' "A good place to look might be... I don't know, the nearest [[BlatantLies nonexistent]] launch site in the [[BlatantLies nonexistent]] Sabre Program, dismissed by three administrations as preposterous rumor... And in which our [[PlayerCharacter new]][[SixthRanger est]] [[FeaturelessProtagonist member]] was certainly never a pilot."
* In ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheDiabolicalBox'', Layton is trying to learn about the title artifact, the Elysian Box. He inquires with one resident of the community of Dropstone, who replies, "Oh, dear! I mean...I've never heard ''anything'' about that dreadful, dreadful thing!"
* In ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', when Sonic and Tails are riding the SpaceElevator to the amusement park:
-->'''Eggman:''' ''(part of recorded announcement)'' "This amusement park has been constructed entirely out of a sense of remorse for my past transgressions and is in no way associated with any sort of evil plot or premeditated misdeeds."\\
'''Sonic:''' ... Well, ''that's'' a relief.
** A good amount of Eggman's PA announcements are like this: from his urging his guests to leave all their valuables in their vehicles since "''in no way'' will roaming bands of robots will break into [them]" and asking Sonic to pass by the Security Office and ''not'' expect to walk into a trap since they "only want to return his keys". Or worse:
--> '''Eggman''': Welcome to the exotic aquarium. Any water you may notice on the floor is the result of our diligent housecleaning staff mopping, and ''not'' evidence of a dangerous leak in the... oh, heck with it. '''''Run for your lives!'''''
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'':
-->'''Rhonda:''' One last thing. Is there any truth to the rumor that all Nightkin are slightly crazy from their overuse of psychologically damaging pre-War technology?
-->'''Tabitha:''' None at ''all,'' Rhonda!
-->'''Rhonda:''' There you have it, Utobitha! Nightkin, your benevolent overlords, who are most certainly...''NOT'' crazy! We'll be back after this.
** Another example, from a quest where you're asked to find some missing refugees:
-->'''Courier:''' Can you help me find some missing people?\\
'''Slave trader:''' [[INeverSaidItWasPoison I don't know anything about the refugees going missing from the Aerotech Office Park.]]
** James Garret at The Atomic Wrangler wants you to obtain a sexbot, but it's not for ''him'', because he finds the idea of having sex with robots to be disgusting, it's for some of his customers who may be robophiles, the horrible disgusting lowlifes.
* In [[http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/poopyjoe.htm this]] ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' promotional material, Mann Co. claims that they were nowhere near the launch site of monkey astronaut Poopy Joe and had nothing whatsoever to do with the disastrous explosion.
** Also, Mann Co.'s seemingly rushed sale of a high-powered rocket launcher was not in any way connected with Poopy Joe's tragic death.
* A more subtle version of this trope is used in [[http://games.adultswim.com/hemp-tycoon-puzzle-online-game.html this]] Creator/AdultSwim flash game, where you play as an anthropomorphic cannabis leaf growing and selling "industrial hemp". The made-up strains of hemp each feature a list of equally made-up industrial uses, [[DrugsAreBad none of them having anything to do with getting high.]]
* In the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series, the player ([[spoiler: who has been trained to look for suspiciously specific denials in this context after what happened in the previous game]]) may notice something strange about this exchange:
-->"Did you kill [[spoiler: her?]]"
-->"[[spoiler: I was not the one who took her life, no.]]"
* Vlaad from ''Videogame/{{Magicka}}'' should not be mentioned here, as [[BlatantLies he most definitely is NOT a vampire]]. And he certainly doesn't remind you of this in [[RunningGag every conversation with him]].
* One quest in ''VideoGame/DragonAge'' involves tracking down a conman who sold a bogus manuscript to the [[WizardingSchool Circle of Magi]]; when you finally find him and his retinue of bodyguards, you innocently ask if he's ever done any business with the Circle. The conman replies:
--> I have no idea what you're talking about, and neither do these large men carrying swords. ({{Beat}}) [[CrowningMomentOfFunny GET THEM!]]
* In ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'': The [[NiceHat Exceptional Hat]] has never been observed to consume the {{brain|Food}}s of its wearers. These stories are without exception lies!
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' gets in on this in Noel's story in Continuum Shift while she's pouting over Ragna's treatment of her at the very beginning of the game and her response to said treatment. After the narration mentions how she feels like a little girl with a crush, she immediately breaks out of it and begins denying it outright despite no one else being around. By the end of her denial even she begins doubt what she's saying
--> '''Noel:''' ...No no no. That's not it. That's definitely not it! Definitely not...I think?
** Kind of a {{squick}}-making thought when you remember [[spoiler: Noel is a clone of Ragna's little sister. Then again its been hinted that Ragna, Jin, and Saya are all artificial in the first place so that makes it totally not incest...or does it? [[MindScrew ...My brain hurts.]]]]
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'', Danved is definitely not Devdan.
** And [[FireEmblemAkaneia Sirius]] isn't Camus.
* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', Misha and Shizune are most certainly not trying to get Hisao to join the student council just because they would obviously benefit from him joining and therefore have an incentive to try and get him to join.
** "I wasn't sleeping and welcome to the Shanghai."
** In Shizune's route, Hisao, trying to work out Shizune and Misha's troubled relationship, tells Yuuko that he's worried about two of his friends, one of whom is worried about not seeing the other after graduation, and "It's not Shizune and Misha, by the way".
** Defied during Shizune's route [[spoiler:before her bad ending]] Lilly suggests Shizune surrounded herself with people who would agree with her, and Hisao notes she denied doing so. Hisao notes more specific denials are indicators of accusations being true, but says this doesn't apply to Shizune's denial in this case.
* When asked about if Herobrine was in VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}, Notch said this:
--> I've publicly told people there's never been any such thing as Herobrine, and that I don't have any dead brothers, and that letting too many animals die in lava is a fool proof way to summon him but that you don't need to be afraid of him. He only means well, he's looking out for you, trying to warn you of the dangers you can't see. There certainly are NO physical manifestations of Herobrine that will sneak out of your computer if you leave Minecraft running at night, looming over you as you sleep with his pale eyes inches away from your face, as he tries to shout at you to wake up. Sometimes you wake up with a jolt, and he's gone, and all that lingers is the memory and faint echo of his wordless screaming. Of course it was just a dream. There's no way a morally dubious ghost with a god complex could at any point decide to haunt the children who play my game "for their own good", as there is NO SUCH THING.
* The ''GliderPRO'' "Demo House" has text written over the background showing the player where to go. The manhole leading to the secret room has a pointer saying "THERE'S NOT A SECRET ROOM DOWN THERE!"
