History SuspiciouslySpecificDenial / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'', Danved is definitely not Devdan.
** And [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Sirius]] isn't Camus.

* 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! Another example is the slogan of Nikolas Pawnbrokers: "Best wares. Best prices. No spiders."

* ''VideoGame/{{Bugsnax}}'': When you interview her, Wiggle insists that she'd ''never'' take advantage of Gramble's good nature and naivete to eat the Bugsnax he's so protective of...no matter how easy it would be. Just in case that wasn't suspicious enough you can catch her sneaking into Gramble's barn for a midnight Snax.

* 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/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' tasks you with watching over the animatronics at a local SuckECheeses, so that they don't come to kill you. The previous employee leaves voice mail messages to encourage you, although he slips from time to time, and his attempts to cover those slip-ups do nothing to abate your fear.
--> "Hey, you're doing great! Most people don't last this long! I mean... y'know. [[ReleasedToElsewhere They usually move on to other things by now]]. I'm not implying that they died. That's not what I meant."
* ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}''. Right, Lucas?
** "N-n-n-no! He (Claus) didn't [[spoiler:take Dad's homemade knife and go into the mountains to kill the Drago]]! ...Aah!"
** Right, and Wess's door opening dance in Osohe Castle [[BlatantLies didn't]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments involve him sticking his butt out or anything.]]
* Happens in the second ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' if you accuse HK-50 of killing the inhabitants of the Peragus Mining Station.
** You can also use similar logic to convince an astromech droid to go on a blaster-wielding rampage.
-->'''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.

* ''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!
* ''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 is "absolutely, positively a legitimate establishment, and not a front for any sort of criminal activities." The Raffle House states that it is "completely and totally legitimate and fully-licensed by the Council of Loathing." These two penguin-operated institutions are definitely not a front for the Penguin Mafia, even though all other penguins in the Kingdom are criminals.
** The item, thermos of "whiskey", is "a glass of perfectly innocent milk that absolutely does not have any vodka or rum or whiskey or a blend of vodka, rum and whiskey in it."
** The 2014 [[YouMeanXmas Crimbo]] elves say, "WE ARE ELVES. WE WORK IN THE MINE. WE LOVE OUR WORK. WE ABSOLUTELY ARE NOT BEING CONTROLLED THROUGH ROBOTIC IMPLANTS."
** You acquire the effect "Broad-Spectrum Vaccine" from a cup labeled "DEFINITELY A VACCINE AND NOT A COMBINATION OF STEROIDS AND AMPHETAMINES."

* ''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.
** When talking to Veronica, one of her responses to "I have some questions" is "He was dead when I got here."
* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' has the looped announcement on one radio station that if you come to Shaw School Place you will be helped and not torn limb from limb and eaten. This might have fooled people but a Supermutant interjects that [[IsThisThingStillOn he wants to eat humans]] and the announcer has to remind him it's a trick and that she's lying.
* 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.]]
* 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]].

* 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! Another example is the slogan of Nikolas Pawnbrokers: "Best wares. Best prices. No spiders."

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'', Danved is definitely not Devdan.
** And [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Sirius]] isn't Camus.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', Bernadetta is not secretly eating cake. She says this immediately when you walk up to her door, and you even hear her swallow the cake beforehand.
** Also from ''Three Houses'', if you recruit [[DownloadableContent Constance]] on a Black Eagles playthrough, and [[spoiler:choose to side with Edelgard in the Holy Tomb]], you can talk to Constance just before [[spoiler:attacking Garreg Mach]], and she'll say the following about learning the truth from [[spoiler:Edelgard]].
--> "It would have been rude to hound her relentlessly until she revealed herself yes? Then that's certainly not what I did. Ahaha!"

* The ''VideoGame/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!"
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', while searching for the Flightstone, the team finds a message from Dist saying that it is [[BlatantLies "not in Daath. Most definitely not!"]]
-->'''Luke:''' [[LampshadeHanging He should have just said it was in Daath]].
* In the first ''Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o'' visual novel in the series, Nanami catches Yuuna [[spoiler: masturbating. Then, when Yuuna questions Nanami about whether or not she saw what just happened, Nanami hastily blurts out that no, she didn't see Yuuna make those unusual noises!]]
* Subverted in the original ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI''. Observing a well in the city of Cornelia, will lead to this message:
** "This is a well. You might think that there is something to it.... But in fact it is just an ordinary well." And no, there is nothing inside, you can't even enter.
* ''VideoGame/WildStar'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn8648VGMKM Meet the Exiles]] trailer has this moment with FieryRedHead GenkiGirl Kit Brinny:
--> And '''no''' we ain't inbred! ({{Beat}}) Most of us, anyway...
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'':
** You can run into a couple of instances of this in the Citadel DLC. For example, [[HoYay Vega insists that he wants to try out the hot tub WITHOUT]] [[StraightGay Cortez]].
** When Grunt is sitting down in the shower, completely wasted, and mumbling incoherently to himself, he at one point gives off, "It was broken when I got here."
** 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.

* 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.''
* When Petra starts to confront Jack Pumpkinhead in ''VideoGame/EmeraldCityConfidential'' about his illegal activities, he denies that he saw or heard anything before Petra even asks him a question about her investigation.
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Wadanohara}} Wadanohara And The Great Blue Sea]]'': Nekoyama manipulates [[spoiler:Samekichi]] into giving one of these to tell him who his crush is [[EveryoneCanSeeIt (despite he and the entire ocean already knowing who it is)]]:
--> '''Nekoyama:''' Can’t help getting serious when it comes to love, huh?
--> [[spoiler:'''Samekichi''']]: Huh?! When did I say I loved Wadanohara?!
--> '''Nekoyama:''' Oh my! And who said anything about Wadanohara…?
* ''VideoGame/Tropico4'':
--> '''Sunny:''' So, Penultimo, what does the new factory produce.
--> '''Penultimo:''' Sprockets! Huge demand for them in the US!
--> '''Sunny:''' Such a large, well-guarded factory to produce... sprockets?
--> '''Penultimo:''' Also, bulb holders. Paperweights. Certainly not weapons of any kind!
--> '''Sunny:''' Not weapons of any kind. [[SarcasmMode Right...]]
* From ''[[VideoGame/BaldursGateII Shadows of Amn]]'':
--> '''Khellor Ahmson:''' ...I did not tell you this, and I certainly did not say his records are in his home northwest of the main government building in the Government District. Should anyone ask, I also wasn't the one who arranged to have the door to Isaea's estate unbarred.
* In ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'', Kamek presents Sluggy the Unshaven to Yoshi, saying: "To get this far you must be powerful, but remember: This slug has no weak points!!" That conspicuous hairy [[AttackOnTheHeart heart]] right in the middle of Sluggy? Yes, that is indeed the boss's weak point.
* ''The Bamford Tenement'' has an item shop run by a slightly shady character.
-->'''Jackal:''' Don't worry, I totally didn't steal this stuff!
* One of the quests in ''Silvertale'' involves locating some parchment and a quill so the leader of the Craggy Marauders, a group of "roadside entrepreneurs" can write to his mother.
-->'''Bandit Leader:''' Here's some gold for your trouble, which I definitely did not steal from someone on the road about two miles back.

* The Useful Core in ''VideoGame/TheLab'''s minigame "Slingshot" assures you that it is not a gateway to the netherworld, and that calibrating it will not cause it to "unfold into a shrieking hellmouth from which demons will flood into your world and turn it into a wasteland." And so forth.
* One of the loading screens in ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' reads "You are still a good person". Considering that this starts popping up after [[spoiler:Walker and by extension the player has unwittingly slaughtered forty civilians (including women and children) due to a misunderstanding]], this is a surprisingly TearJerker example.
* Done extremely blatantly in the emails [[BigBad Bowser Jr]] sends to Beep-O and the party in ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' when he [[ForgedMessage hacks the latter's email account.]] Indeed, not only does he say such obvious stuff as "Just take the totally non-spooky path leading from the gate that just opened and everything will work out just fine and you won't be killed." but he also tries to explain his evil laughter in much the same way: "Also, when I wrote 'muhahahaha' the second time I meant, er... 'You guys are really cool and I like you a lot and definitely don't wish you any harm'." Even the person who's email was hacked lampshades just how blatantly how out of character the messages were and comments how "You noticed it was hacked, right?"
* In ''VideoGame/ThimbleweedPark'', the hotel manager assures his customers that there is nothing to be worried about during their stay, especially not food poisoning.
* 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 the level.
* Amber's first encounter with Ina and Mina in ''[[VideoGame/MedievalCop Medieval Shorts 2]]''.
-->'''Ina:''' Am I being detained? I assure you, that candy store was robbed after I left the store.

* 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 said enemy type, the guard gets scared and steps aside.
* In ''Farmington Tales 2: Winter Crop'' Mr. Cashman and Councilman Wyatt plot to keep Floyd from saving his farm. Mr. Cashman suggests knocking over Floyd's mailbox and is told to think bigger, then suggests calling in an airstrike and is told to think somewhere more in the middle. Then Kaylee shows up.
-->'''Kaylee:''' Hey guys, whatcha talking about?\\
'''Mr. Cashman:''' We're definitely NOT talking about knocking over Floyd's mailbox. I don't know where you got that idea.\\
'''Kaylee:''' Ooo-kay...
* In ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsHitAndRun'', we have Krusty's Buzz Cola commercial.
-->'''Krusty:''' Hey, hey! I'm endorsing a new cola, kids! And this one isn't poisonous to ''anybody!''
* In ''VideoGame/StardewValley'':
** "The world-class science team at Joja Headquarters have determined that 'Joja Bluu' does not cause a significant erosion of the stomach lining."
** Joja also claims that their digging operations are completely legal.
* In ''VideoGame/LostHorizon'' Fenton needs an organ-grinder's hat to complete a disguise and offers to swap for it.
-->'''Fenton:''' I've got this polished metal bowl that absolutely isn't a rubbish bin lid.
* In ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'', Vera does this a lot.
** At the end of the Cult Ring set of events, she says that she'll collect the taxes of the members for the cult leader that is "definitely not her".
** At one point, she can ask the player character out as a replacement for her original date, who was eaten by vultures, which was definitely not her fault.
** She definitely hasn't placed cameras in the men's locker room and she's definitely not selling them to compromisinglockerroomnudes.com as a side business, that's for sure!


* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', when Roxas asks Naminé what will happen to him if Sora awakens, she dodges giving a straight answer by stating that "[He] won't disappear!" Roxas is noticeably disturbed by her response.




* The tutorial popup about tranquilising dinosaurs in ''VideoGame/{{Parkasaurus}}'' says "nothing bad ever happens at dinosaur parks, and certainly not at [[Franchise/JurassicPark dinosaur parks in movies]]."

* ''Love and Pies'':
-->'''Joe:''' Were you asleep?\\
'''Amelia:''' Haha, no! And I wasn't dreaming about you! As if!

* Maria in ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' repeatedly assures James that "she's real". That's one of the main things that lets you know [[spoiler:she's not. Although this may also be an attempt to reassure ''herself'' that she's real]].

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'' has an Archangel in a maze warn you about illusion traps in dead seriousness, then he insists that he's helping YOU out, and that he himself is most assuredly not lost.
* Eikichi Mishina in ''VideoGame/Persona2'' is a horrendous liar, and this exchange proves it:
-->'''Lisa:''' We don't know anything about the Joker... Right, guys?\\
'''Eikichi:''' Oh yes, it's true! We are not looking for the principal and we most certainly never got stomped by the Joker!
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'': Dr. Ned is not as good as his totally-not-made-up brother [[PaperThinDisguise Zed]], and they're totally different people. (Exact quote from cutscene in ''The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned''). Making this funnier, he says this about every other sentence, bordering on VerbalTic. [[spoiler: They actually ''are'' different people, judging by the fact that Zed is still alive in the second game]].
** In ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' Rakkman, a Psycho and BatmanParody, 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, this ''is'' [[WretchedHive Pandora]], where the usual response to someone saying "My parents are dead" probably ''is'' "How'd you kill 'em?"
** Propagandist Hunter Hellquist's news report on the city of Opportunity, after the player has very thoroughly massacred every human and robot: "Today in Opportunity, everything was fine and nothing bad happened."
* In ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', when talking to a goblin guarding the secret goblin temple, he says "We not let you in to secret temple that not down these stairs."
** Also in ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', when a player asks why all the carts he sees are broken and gets this reply:
-->'''CEO of cartmakers:''' It is unthinkable that our carts might break due to the use of low quality materials, inexperienced ogre labour and usage of enormous quantities of sticky-tape fastenings.
* 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/ThereIsNoGame'', the narrator insists that, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin there is no game]]. He tells you there is nothing to do, not to touch the title ''especially'' the letter "o", not to break the boxes, that there is no ball on the screen, etc, etc.

* In ''VideoGame/RuneFactory3'', there are 2 characters who always say things with a reversed meaning. For example, one (who is in a great mood) says "I feel terrible."
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'': "The Enrichment Center would like to remind you that the Weighted CompanionCube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. 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).
** Parodied in [[spoiler:[[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=178414 a downloadable bonus map]], where the cube actually ''can'' speak and stab players.]]
** And a ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' add-on where, if you look away from the cube, it will make funny noises and when you turn back, it's right behind you. Don't turn and you die. Seriously.
* Igor from ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIV'': "Igor not hear rumors. Igor not know Dmitri's grandfather ran off years ago. Igor not know squid carving eat people who try to open monastery door. Igor wonder if you will verify this rumor."
* ''VideoGame/{{Darwinia}}'': "This game is not in any way endorsed by SENSIBLE SOFTWARE."[[note]]The sound clip that accompanies this (randomly chosen) opening screen is from ''VideoGame/CannonFodder''.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/EscapeFromMonkeyIsland'' When asking whether or not a former pirate misses his old life, he replies thus:
--> '''Hugo:''' "Not especially, no. Although sometimes Hugo misses the wind in his face... and the wenches... and Hugo misses the grog... and the decks covered with the blood of Hugo's enemies... (Beat) But other than that, no, not a thing."
* Crispin from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''. "I'm an orderly, you know. I am not an impostor!"
** Earlier, Sasha Nein. "Even if you were to take that secret passage over there and sneak into his hidden sanctuary, Agent Cruller would never, ever give you a Marksmanship learner's permit. Never, ever."
** And normal telephone repairmen in the MilkmanConspiracy.
-->'''"Telephone Repairman":''' I am a telephone repairman. I can listen to any phone call I want, but do not do so because of my sense of professional responsibility.
** The 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]].
* Happened twice in ''VideoGame/RivieraThePromisedLand''. The first time was deliberate, the second time... not so much.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft: Wrath of the Lich King'': After the Wrathgate, a Forsaken Aleric Hawkins says this: "Oh, pay no attention to me. I'm just a messenger. The leader of the Deathstalkers certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to stand here on the dais waiting to be gutted. No need for history to repeat itself." 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".
** The "ultrasafe transporters" made by Gnomish Engineering include this phrase: "Emphasis on safe! Yup, nothing bad could ever happen while using this device!"
** A Gnomish questgiver in ''Battle for Azeroth'' asks players to bring him an Alpaca for scientific study, "Certainly not for their floofiness".

* ''VideoGame/{{Sam and Max|FreelancePolice}} Save the World'' has [[SuckECheeses Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Funland and Casino]], which has its own song about [[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub the total lack of Mafia on the premises]].
-->''Welcome, welcome, generous friends\\
Days and weeks and tokens to spend\\
We're just regular businessmen!\\
Just you and me and Ted E. Bear!''
** The slogans outside Stinky's Diner say, among other things, "No traceable arsenic".
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
** In the foreword to the guidebook "The Grimore of Marisa", [[KleptomaniacHero Marisa]] assures the reader that "[This] is absolutely not a copy of Alice's grimoire in any way."
** For that matter, Marisa's evolving BossSubtitles have increasingly been verging further and further into this trope's territory throughout the series. While her being refered to as the "Ordinary Magician" was a funny joke at first, later appearances have slapped her with titles (e.g., [[Manga/ForbiddenScrollery "Extremely Ordinary Magician"]] and [[VideoGame/WilyBeastAndWeakestCreature "Excruciatingly Ordinary Magician"]]) that sound more like she's insisting that she's most definitely [[AmbiguouslyHuman just your average human who happens to be using magic, no matter how youkai-like she may seem.]]
** [[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."
** ''VideoGame/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight'' 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.\\
'''Alice:''' Hey, wait, Marisa! Who told you that we were going to capture and eat humans?\\
'''Marisa:''' Nobody said we were going to capture and eat them.\\
...\\
'''Marisa:''' [[PullTheThread Okay, it's enough, I give up. You're right.]] [[TitleDrop This endless night]], [[WeirdMoon broken distorted moon]], [[HiddenInPlainSight vanishment of the human village]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking putting hats on stone statues]], [[NeverMyFault it's all Alice's fault]]. Now, [[IronicEcho get out of the way]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]

* The tutorial popup about tranquilising dinosaurs in ''VideoGame/{{Parkasaurus}}'' says "nothing bad ever happens at dinosaur parks, and certainly not at [[Franchise/JurassicPark dinosaur parks in movies]]."
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** One Team Rocket grunt in ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' 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. If you go to his house afterwards, you'll see there's a new Swablu doll in his room...
** 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.
** In the post-game of ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'', [[spoiler:Faba tries to get out of an incident by telling Lusamine that he didn't betray the foundation and invite Team Rainbow Rocket into the Aether Foundation, just to advance his career.]] Cue appropriate reactions from everyone (except the [[PerpetualSmiler player character]]).

* 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!"
* ''VideoGame/SaturdayMorningRPG'': It's pretty obvious that all the staff at Marty's school are H.O.O.D. soldiers, despite them constantly saying that they aren't, and lining the walls of the school with poster saying that the teachers are [=NOT=] soldiers.
* 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:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ... 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!'''''

* 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.
** Soldier's Stash description: "This hat does not in any way, shape or form, promote smoking or gambling."
** [[HuskyRusskie The Heavy]] loves America. It is the place he is from. All the time.

* One quest in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' 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}}) [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments GET THEM!]]

* ''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.]]]]

* ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective'':
** In the "Malice in Wonderland" case, the missing girl's nanny is quite firm that nothing at all mysterious or suspicious is going on, regardless of what the actual question she is asked is.
** In the "Loch Mess" chapter, Dooley's Bloodwolf scout pack go to attend a jamboree and arrive to find the campground deserted and hung about with signs saying things like "Welcome to the Jamboree! Don't worry about the fact that there's nobody else here!". Later, [=McQueen=] gets to read the correspondence between Dooley and the jamboree's organizer, which is signed things like "Nigel, a fellow Bloodwolf (no need to check that)" and, more ominously, "Nigel, a human being like you".
** In the "Baits Motel" chapter, a motel guest calls room service for a meal and is informed that the kitchen is closed "but not because of rats or anything like that". (It is in fact because of rats.) The guest remarks on the specificity of the denial.
** In the end credits, the standard ThisIsAWorkOfFiction disclaimer is followed by a message from the government repeating that this is a work of fiction, "especially anything Dooley said", and categorically denying that the game has been created to distract people from the truth.

* A meta-example. In the changelog of the Journey's End update for ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'', there's this tidbit from the devs on the Stardust Guardian spawned from the Set Bonus of the Stardust Armor (who was changed to have a RapidFireFisticuffs type attack):
--> ''Stardust Guardian now has a more much vigorous and aggressive attack, and he will attack automatically without prompting. All resemblance to a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders certain anime]] is purely coincidental.''
** This doubles as an AscendedMeme, given how fans kept drawing comparisons to said aforementioned anime, despite the fact that, according to WordOfGod, the artist who drew the Stardust Guardian had never seen Jojo.
* There's too many to count in the world of ''VideoGame/AceAttorney'', but perhaps the biggest offender would be when StarterVillain Frank Sahwit returns in ''Investigations 2''. The basic strategy of his Logic Chess section is to patiently wait for him to blow a hole in his story with one of these, such as him revealing he was the one who found the victim's body.

* ''VideoGame/{{Carto}}'': Many of Pinko's comments about the volcano hotel. "We'll also make sure that it contains an absolute minimum of lava-related injuries." "We've had minimal scaldings, I assure you!" "You won't believe how few get sick [from our food]!"

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' has Cyan act jittery around [[AfterlifeExpress the Phantom Train]]. When questioned about it, he says: "It's not like I have an aversion of machines or try to avoid them as often as humanly possible or anything like that!"

--> '''Hugo:''' "Not especially, no. Although sometimes Hugo misses the wind in his face... and the wenches... and Hugo misses the grog... and the decks covered with the blood of Hugo's enemies... (Beat) But other than that, no, not a thing"

** The "ultrasafe transporters" made by Gnomish Engineering include this phrase: "Emphasis on safe! Yup, nothing bad could ever hpapen while using this device!"

* In ''VideoGame/ThimbleweedPark'', the hotel manager ensures his customers that there is nothing to be worried about during their stay, especially not food poisoning.

* One Team Rocket grunt in ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' 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.

* In the remake of ''VideoGame/WildArms1'', when your party is [[spoiler: thrown into prison by the demons, Alhazad remarks Zeikfried would normally use more direct methods of dealing with them and asking if anything has changed. Zeikfried replies that nothing has changed- his body is his own and his mind is his own. (Which by this point is definitely ''not'' the case.)

** In ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' Rakkman, a Psycho and BatmanParody, 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, this ''is'' [[WretchedHive Pandora]], where the usual response to someone saying "My parents are dead" probably ''is'' "How'd you kill 'em?"

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

** ''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]]:

* 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]].

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

* ''{{VideoGame/Tropico}} 4''.

* From ''[[Videogame/BaldursGateII Shadows of Amn]]'':

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{PAYDAY2}} PAYDAY 2]]'', Sokol, the Russian Grinder, can say this when picking up the pager for a guard he killed.

* In ''Videogame/ThimbleweedPark'', the hotel manager ensures his customers that there is nothing to be worried about during their stay, especially not food poisoning.
* 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 the level.

** [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Bernadetta]] is not secretly eating cake. She says this immediately when you walk up to her door, and you even hear her swallow the cake beforehand.

** In the forward to the recent ''Touhou Project'' guidebook "The Grimore of Marisa", [[KleptomaniacHero Marisa]] assures the reader "[This] is absolutely not a copy of Alice's grimoire in any way."

-->Marisa: C'mon, surrender those humans to us now.\\
Alice: Hey, wait, Marisa! Who told you that we were going to capture and eat humans?\\
Marisa: Nobody said we were going to capture and eat them.\\

Marisa: [[PullTheThread Okay, it's enough, I give up. You're right.]] [[TitleDrop This endless night]], [[WeirdMoon broken distorted moon]], [[HiddenInPlainSight vanishment of the human village]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking putting hats on stone statues]], [[NeverMyFault it's all Alice's fault]]. Now, [[IronicEcho get out of the way]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]

* Happened in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''. Ryder was going to rob the Pizza Stack, with a brilliant plan to hide his identity... by taking off his cap. The cashier quickly sees through his cunning disguise. Here's the quote:

* ''VideoGame/{{Sam and Max|FreelancePolice}} Save the World'' 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]].

* In ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'', Kamek presents Sluggy the Unshaven to Yoshi, saying: "To get this far you must be powerful, but remember: This slug has no weak points!!" That conspicuous hairy heart right in the middle of Sluggy? Yes, that is indeed the boss's weak point.
