History SuspiciouslySpecificDenial / VideoGames

* 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."

** A more serious version happens in Mass Effect 1 when Garrus is talking about the Dr. Saleon case. Apparently, they had suspected Dr. Saleon of black-market organ trading, and brought in one of his employees for interrogation, who among other things was "very convinced that he still had his liver". There is no indication that the status of the employee's own organs was ever brought up beforehand.

-->Guybrush: What do you know about Largo [=LaGrande=]?
-->Marty: I don't know anything about cargo and contraband. I'm clean, clean, clean!
* In the [[http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1074301/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf online version of its employee handbook]], Creator/ValveSoftware boasts about its flat organizational style:"''... we don't have any management, and nobody "reports to" anybody else. We do have a founder/president, but even he isn't your manager.''" If you think that suggests this trope, you're not alone. Someone at Valve thought the same thing, apparently, and went so far as to not only use it more explicitly but lampshade it in the glossary at the end of the handbook.:
-->'''Gabe Newell'''—''Of all the people at this company who aren't your boss, Gabe is the MOST not your boss, if you get what we're saying.''

* In ''Lost Horizon'' Fenton needs an organ-grinder's hat to complete a disguise and offers to swap for it.

** Right, and Wess's door opening dance in Osohe Castle [[BlatantLies didn't]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny involve him sticking his butt out or anything.]]

--> I have no idea what you're talking about, and neither do these large men carrying swords. ({{Beat}}) [[CrowningMomentOfFunny GET THEM!]]

* Any "free" browser game that claims itself to be free in every sentence of its ads is an AllegedlyFreeGame.

* One of the quests in ''Silvertale'' involves locating some parchment and a quill so that the leader of the Craggy Marauders, a group of "roadside entrepreneurs" can write to his mother.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' various characters standing guard over Power Moons insist that they're not afraid of certain enemy types. As you might imagine, if you come back after taking control of the said enemy type, the guard gets scared and steps aside.

* ''VideoGame/{{Sam and Max|FreelancePolice}}'' has [[SuckECheeses Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Funland and Casino]], which has [[EarWorm its own song]] about [[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub the total lack of Mafia on the premises]].

* When asked about if Herobrine was in VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}, Notch said this:

** In ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' Rakkman, a bandit who also plays the part of Batman expy, has an audio log that proclaims "My parents ''jiggled'', and ''squiggled'', AND I DIDN'T KILL THEM I PROMISE!" On the surface, it definitely looks like this trope. On the other hand, on [[CrapsackWorld Pandora]] the most common response to "My parents are dead" probably is "[[SelfMadeOrphan So how'd you kill them]]?"

* Creator/{{Capcom}} [[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/05/22/capcoms-ex-troopers-has-nothing-to-do-with-mega-man-legends-3/ has stated that]] ''[[LostPlanet EX Troopers]]'' has nothing to do with ''[[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Legends 3]]''. The fact that they share the same engine and a very similar art style? Coincidence.

** 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...

* Inverted in ''Videogame/YookaLaylee.'' In the [[CasinoPark Cashino]], the talking slot machines have races and other contests you can do for coins. They stress that the games aren't rigged in any way, clearly invoking this trope... except that they ''truly'' aren't rigged. Difficult, perhaps, but completely on level.

* In the fifth case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations'', 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:
-->'''[[spoiler:Edgeworth]]:''' "Were you the one who killed [[spoiler:Elise Deauxnim?]]"
-->[[spoiler:'''Iris:''' "... No. I'm not the one who took her life.]]"
** As it turns out, [[spoiler:Iris framed herself to cover for the real killer.]]

'''Four-Armed Man:''' N-Nothing! And I certainly didn't take any money from her!
** Also this exchange:
-->'''Vivi:''' Do you know a man named Quan?\\
'''Quale:''' I not know that Bigot!!

* In ''VideoGame/{{Payday2}}'', Sokol, the Russian Grinder, can say this when picking up the pager for a guard he killed.

* 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!"
