** Since his death, the Dancing Zombie is now a generic DiscoDan, with the same description.
* Any of the dozens of games where the EnemyChatter includes some variation of the phrase "I/we won't hurt you"; said phrase is often followed by, or sometimes even said while the character in question is attacking the player character.
* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2''; in one evil questline, the PC has the option to burn down a building using a torch. They will almost certainly be stopped by a guard for questioning. While still holding the torch and possibly having come right from lighting the building in full view of the guard, they can attempt to bluff "I don't even have a torch".

** The Fact Core blurts out various completely ridiculous facts when you carry it, such as "Before the Wright Brothers invented the aeroplane, anyone who wanted to fly was required to eat two hundred pounds of helium."
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' gives us the following exchange: "Hey, Commander, I heard there were some interesting noises coming from the Synthetic Insights office. Would you happen to know anything about it?" "Who, me? I'm entirely innocent."

* [[EvilMentor Kreia]] in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2''. Lampshaded by Kreia herself who warns you frequently not to trust her. Some of the HK-50s' statements end up here, if only because they quite literally start the sentence by stating that they are insincere or that it is a fabrication.

** Not counting Ain Soph Aur. What a liar...
** In the first game, Regal is asked what his relationship is to Presea. He says simply "There is none", but his tone makes it more than obvious that he's lying. The party members don't push him on it, though, apparently assuming his reasons are his own business.
** Also in the first game, subverted with Lloyd's calling Noishe a dog. This is very clearly untrue: although Noishe is canine in shape, he's several times too large, and possessed of green fur and giant rodent ears. It's not a case of CallASmeerpARabbit, either, because there are perfectly ordinary dogs in the game, and a pair of villagers {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing it early on in the game. It eventually turns out that this has a justification: [[spoiler:Noishe is a protozoan, a legendary shapeshifting animal]]. However, Lloyd didn't know that (the fact that [[spoiler:they're supposed to be extinct might have had something to do with it]]) and simply called him a dog because [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he didn't think he looked enough like a wolf to be one]].
* The [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest''. Often MisBlamed on the English translation, but the characters were blatant liars in the Japanese original as well.
* Everyone at Ted E. Bear's [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial mafia-free]] playland and casino, in ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice ''; Season 1, Episode 3. There is no confusing the place for [[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub anything but a mafia hideout]] with a lot of bear-head masks on the thugs, and yet, its workers will deny this every chance they get; often without even being asked, with dialogue such as "You'd never make it in the mafia... not that there's any mafia around here."

* The already-legendary (despite only being in beta) "The Day Deathwing Came" questline in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft: Cataclysm''.

** The presence of 'Safe' and 'Ultrasafe' engineering devices. The safest thing they can do is ''explode''.
* [[SNKBoss Hazama]] from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' says he isn't that good at fighting. [[SarcasmMode It's not like he's lying or something...]] However, this is also subverted that if the situation demands (as in, not to reveal his grand plan), he'd lie anyway, as seen at trying to kill Makoto because she knows too much, but stated it as a 'disciplinary action' for not obeying orders.
* In the ''SupplementalMaterial/TeamFortress2'' comic ''[[http://www.teamfortress.com/shadowboxers/ Shadow Boxers]]'', the Soldier states that he wouldn't lie to fellow Americans. Miss Pauling tries to inform him that most of his teammates aren't American (stating that, for example, Heavy is Russian and Medic is German), which Heavy interrupts with "Ha ha! Germany! Russia! Is big American joke on Soldier! Ohh, America, it is the place I am from. All the time."
** An in game example that's also a minor GuideDangIt: in one of the patches, the Soda Popper's "Hype" mode was changed from granting mini-crits to allowing you to do [[JumpPhysics four extra mid-air jumps]]. However, in some language versions (Polish, for example) their description wasn't modifed to reflect that change. Worse yet, ''[[UpToEleven even the Polish version of the official wiki still states it's the former]]''. Both new and returning players are going to be confused.
* The ending of ''VideoGame/TrioThePunch'' informs you that "YOU FIGURED IT OUT". In fact, you'll be just as confused, if not moreso, as when you started the game.
* [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Jade Curtiss]] is a ''master'' of this. "No, no. I've been frail since birth... ''[fake cough]''"
* On the subject of the ''Franchise/TalesSeries,'' a common phrase out of ''everyone's'' mouth is [[ItsProbablyNothing "It's nothing!"]] It's. '''Never.''' Nothing. In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss,'' at least, these "nothings" are liable to cause either [[HeroicBSOD complete character breakdowns]] or [[WhamEpisode gut-punching plot twists]] and hours of subsequent remedial questing.

'''Sam Fisher''': I'd bet your neck you do.\\
'''Indonesian terrorist''': Well... maybe I speak a little English.\\
'''''[snip]'''''\\
'''Indonesian terrorist''': They're escorting a... Um, nothing.\\
'''Sam Fisher''': What? Escorting who?\\
'''Indonesian terrorist''': Nothing, I... I made a mistake!
* In ''VisualNovel/YoJinBo'', this is a prominent feature of Yo and Sayori's confrontations with Nobumasa, who believes every word even when they're claiming that Sayori is Yo's mother or that they're escaping from a witch who lives in a GingerbreadHouse. Other couples lie as well, but their lies are at least ''believable''.
* Lesteena claims that her father was a man of peace and that she will continue his ideals in ''VisualNovel/EienNoAselia''. What did the man just do? Enslaved a couple children and used them to conquer the four neighboring empires overnight. For no apparent reason.
* [[VideoGame/{{Mother 3}} Don't look now!]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufR3Uu1TWJ0 Wess isn't going to stick his butt out or anything, though.]]
** [[VideoGame/{{Mother 1}} La la la la la, la la la la la! Oh, don't pay attention to THIS melody!]]
* ''VideoGame/InThe1stDegree'' has some moments of this occurring. A notable one is when you get Ruby to admit that she saw a gun in pre-trial interview, and then at the trial, she turns around and says that it wasn't a gun, but a pair of pliers. [[spoiler: Don't panic. Just get her to read a love letter Zack wrote to her, and she will tearfully admit to lying and tell the truth about the gun]].
* The ''VideoGame/{{Quake}} III'' incarnation of the series' iconic Quad Damage powerup. It's called Quad Damage in the manual, the Arena Announcer calls it Quad Damage, the HUD displays the words 'Quad Damage', yet the item itself only allows the bearer to do ''triple'' damage (as even described in the manual)! I guess 'Tri-Damage' just isn't as catchy.
* In ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', Patches the Hyena feeds you a lot of blatant lies over his hilariously transparent attempt to kill you and take your stuff.
* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', Hisao, early in Act 4 of Lilly's route, says that while in Hokkaido with her and their mutual friend Hanako, tells [[ShipperOnDeck Misha and Shizune]] that they merely studied and went sightseeing, when, in fact [[spoiler:he and Lilly also had a RelationshipUpgrade and had sex twice]]. He even calls it a "blatant lie".
* In ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}} (2012)'', after getting to the front of the train, Merit tells the controller's cabin that he's Aspari security and has dealt with the situation. The gullible guard opens the door and promptly takes a bullet to the face.
* Appears almost every time a VisualNovel comes with the saying "All characters are 18 years of age or older" they're blatantly lying. There's usually at least one character that's under the age of 18 that has sex in such a game. Justified, as saying that the characters are underage (by the US' standards) would cause trouble. However, there's no punishment for saying a first year in high school is of legal age, no matter how obvious it is that they aren't!
* ''VideoGame/GhostRecon: Future Soldier'' was hit pretty hard with this sort of thing on its Steam store page once it was actually released. The PC release supports Windows XP! Except it doesn't[[note]]A patch allowing XP support will be out three weeks after release! [[ScheduleSlip No, wait, after Title Update 1.2]]. [[DevelopmentHell No, after 1.3. Wait, I meant 1.4. Did I say 1.4, I meant 1.5...]][[/note]]. Split-screen for all modes on consoles! Except it's only for Guerrilla mode. In-game manual is easier than a paper one! Except you have to quit out of your game to look up anything in it. And so on.
* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' has a few examples where the a witness will tell a blatant lie. These are normally far and in-between however, especially as the games go on, as most of the lies are actual well spun, and are only broken apart due to a piece of evidence that the protagonist happens to have found on the off change, and/or just reply on some logical and clever thinking.
** An example of one of the few blatant lies however comes in the very first case of the first game. The witness claimed to have heard a television say the time when he found the body...only moments after the prosecution had gotten through saying there was a blackout in the building at this time. Then straight after, he claims that the murder weapon was a clock...even through it had been made blatantly clear during the trial that the murder weapon was a statue. [[spoiler: Although, this "lie" doesn't mean what you might think it does]].
** In the third game, when Larry claims to have never seen a wallet that he himself had hand delivered to someone, Phoenix's response is simply: "LIAR!"
* VideoGame/AnimalKaiser boldly claims that every animal in the game exists in the real world. Uh huh, I'm listening- tell me where I can find the robotic shark, or robotic gorilla. Or purple lions, or alien space invader whales for that matter...
* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'': At one point, Komari and Rin are trying to take care of a cat in Rin's locker without anyone finding out it's there. When it causes a clattering sound, everyone in the hallway turns to look and the player has three possible explanations Riki can give: 'we're just taking out the cleaning equipment', which is totally reasonable, 'that thing came out!' which doesn't really make sense, and 'this is my home!' which...is just bizarre.
* Near the end of the mage origin in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', the player is asked if you took anything from a vault full of artifacts you just passed through. If you're a typical KleptomaniacHero, you'll probably have picked up a new staff in there... and you can deny taking anything while it's right there on your back. And if your persuasive skills are high enough, you'll be believed.
* An obvious example would be in ''VideoGame/PapersPlease'': Some people may be heavier than indicated in their papers, giving you an option to scan them upon noticing this direpancy, because the extra weight might be due to them carrying drugs or weapons. What does the main character say when starting the scan? "You have been selected for a random search."
* From ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'', we have [[spoiler: Hades, the true, LaughablyEvil main antagonist]]. While all of the game's villains and bosses [[CasualDangerDialogue casually chat with Palutena and Pit during missions,]] he goes above and beyond lying while Palutena tries to give out advice to the point where when they call him out on it, he'll either insist that he's telling the truth or he'll admit it, [[SmugSnake but point out that they still have no clue what he's planning.]] [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Considering just how]] GenreSavvy Pit and Palutena are, his lying really is the only thing keeping them off track from defeating him, [[spoiler: and it's a part of the reason why you don't even find out that he's the main force behind the events of the game, from resurrecting Medusa to causing a massive war over a fake MacGuffin.]]
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': Gestahl (at the banquet): "All I really want is peace!"
** Also, this is the [[PlanetOfHats Hat]] of everyone in Zozo (except the merchant). Best exemplified by Dadaluma, who says, "Good day, gentle folks. Can I be of service? I hate fighting, so I'd better let you pass" ''immediately'' before attacking the party.
* From ''Videogame/DragonAgeInquisition'', we have Dalish of the Bull's Chargers. She insists that she's an archer, even though she carries a MagicStaff on her back. Justified, since admitting she's a mage would be admitting that she's an apostate. That's a very bad thing for people to know even in good times (''Inquisition'' is not set in good times).
-->'''Dalish:''' Of course I'm not a mage. That would make me an apostate.\\
'''The Iron Bull:''' You carry a staff, Dalish.\\
'''Dalish:''' It's a bow.\\
'''Krem:''' With a giant glowing crystal on top?\\
'''Dalish:''' Yes. Old dalish aiming trick. You wouldn't understand.
----
** Since his death, the Dancing Zombie is now a generic DiscoDan, with the same description.
* Any of the dozens of games where the EnemyChatter includes some variation of the phrase "I/we won't hurt you"; said phrase is often followed by, or sometimes even said while the character in question is attacking the player character.
* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2''; in one evil questline, the PC has the option to burn down a building using a torch. They will almost certainly be stopped by a guard for questioning. While still holding the torch and possibly having come right from lighting the building in full view of the guard, they can attempt to bluff "I don't even have a torch".
* In all ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto GTA]]'' games: ''"Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."''
* In ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}},'' the [[TheMenInBlack G-Men]] use this [[Funny/{{Psychonauts}} to hilarious effect]].
* Nearly all of [=GLaDOS=]'s dialog in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', which makes sense, as she's a [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment lying liar who lies about lying.]]
** One of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XWzhfuMU8U promotional videos]] (about 4 seconds in) for ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' shows that the phrase "Asbestos is harmless!" is a trademark of Aperture Science.
** The Fact Core blurts out various completely ridiculous facts when you carry it, such as "Before the Wright Brothers invented the aeroplane, anyone who wanted to fly was required to eat two hundred pounds of helium."
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' gives us the following exchange: "Hey, Commander, I heard there were some interesting noises coming from the Synthetic Insights office. Would you happen to know anything about it?" "Who, me? I'm entirely innocent."
** The Council's adamant refusal to acknowledge the existence of the Reapers.
--->'''Sparatus:''' Ah yes, [[MemeticHandGesture "Reapers"]]. [[MemeticMutation We have already dismissed that claim.]]
** Garrus's often-repeated line when he doesn't have anything to talk with you about. In the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC and the third game, this often gets referenced and parodied.
--->'''Garrus:''' Can it wait? I'm in the middle of some [[UnusualEuphemism calibrations]].
** From the second game:
--->'''Asari:''' Wait. Did you hack your translator so you could control your kinetic language processing?\\
'''Elcor:''' With a sincerity such that skepticism would be deeply insulting: No.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':
** Marisa is the most honest person in all of Gensokyo.
---> '''[[TheJudge Shiki]]''': Yes, you are a little ''too'' comfortable with lying.\\
'''Marisa''': That isn't true. [[BadLiar I haven't told a]] ''[[ConsummateLiar single]]'' [[RefugeInAudacity lie since I was born.]]
** She steals nearly everything that might interest her, but claims that she is only "borrowing" because she will return everything when she dies, as being a normal human most of them will outlive her. She is also working on an elixir of immortality. Yeah...
** One can only conclude that her master, Mima, the black winged evil spirit, taught her well. Most of the time she can actually tell really convincing lies, but she seems to enjoy being a baldfaced liar so much she sometimes strides straight into this trope [[ItAmusedMe for the lulz]].
---> '''Luize:''' You don't look human...\\
'''Mima:''' [[SayItWithHearts I am!]] ♥
** Kazami Yuuka spends the entirety of ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' telling absolutely pointless lies, even incriminating herself in crimes she had nothing to do with for apparently no other reason than to "tease" others.
*** She took lessons in {{Troll}}ing from [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Beatrice]].
** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Remilia Scarlet]] claims with a straight face to be a descendant of Vlad Tepes. Yes, ''that'' [[{{Dracula}} Vlad Tepes]]. Even the WordOfGod says she's a liar.
* [[EvilMentor Kreia]] in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2''. Lampshaded by Kreia herself who warns you frequently not to trust her. Some of the HK-50s' statements end up here, if only because they quite literally start the sentence by stating that they are insincere or that it is a fabrication.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has a quest called "One Small Favour." [[TemptingFate How bad could it be?]] *[[ChainOfDeals Snerk]]*
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'' and Emil's Mystic Arte. "This... is the final strike !" (slash !). And then he strikes the enemy again...
** Not counting Ain Soph Aur. What a liar...
** In the first game, Regal is asked what his relationship is to Presea. He says simply "There is none", but his tone makes it more than obvious that he's lying. The party members don't push him on it, though, apparently assuming his reasons are his own business.
** Also in the first game, subverted with Lloyd's calling Noishe a dog. This is very clearly untrue: although Noishe is canine in shape, he's several times too large, and possessed of green fur and giant rodent ears. It's not a case of CallASmeerpARabbit, either, because there are perfectly ordinary dogs in the game, and a pair of villagers {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing it early on in the game. It eventually turns out that this has a justification: [[spoiler:Noishe is a protozoan, a legendary shapeshifting animal]]. However, Lloyd didn't know that (the fact that [[spoiler:they're supposed to be extinct might have had something to do with it]]) and simply called him a dog because [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he didn't think he looked enough like a wolf to be one]].
* The [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest''. Often MisBlamed on the English translation, but the characters were blatant liars in the Japanese original as well.
* Everyone at Ted E. Bear's [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial mafia-free]] playland and casino, in ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice ''; Season 1, Episode 3. There is no confusing the place for [[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub anything but a mafia hideout]] with a lot of bear-head masks on the thugs, and yet, its workers will deny this every chance they get; often without even being asked, with dialogue such as "You'd never make it in the mafia... not that there's any mafia around here."
** And then there's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLVclnItahk "theme song"]].
* The already-legendary (despite only being in beta) "The Day Deathwing Came" questline in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft: Cataclysm''. Three {{N|onPlayerCharacter}}PCs tell their stories of how [[BigBad Deathwing]] flew over the Badlands and got {{curb stomp|Battle}}ed by the NPC in question. [[GoodOldFisticuffs Face-punching]], [[MadScience world-shrinking]], and TheCasanova orc [[RuleOfCool with a flying motorbike]] ensue.
** The presence of 'Safe' and 'Ultrasafe' engineering devices. The safest thing they can do is ''explode''.
* [[SNKBoss Hazama]] from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' says he isn't that good at fighting. [[SarcasmMode It's not like he's lying or something...]] However, this is also subverted that if the situation demands (as in, not to reveal his grand plan), he'd lie anyway, as seen at trying to kill Makoto because she knows too much, but stated it as a 'disciplinary action' for not obeying orders.
* In the ''SupplementalMaterial/TeamFortress2'' comic ''[[http://www.teamfortress.com/shadowboxers/ Shadow Boxers]]'', the Soldier states that he wouldn't lie to fellow Americans. Miss Pauling tries to inform him that most of his teammates aren't American (stating that, for example, Heavy is Russian and Medic is German), which Heavy interrupts with "Ha ha! Germany! Russia! Is big American joke on Soldier! Ohh, America, it is the place I am from. All the time."
** An in game example that's also a minor GuideDangIt: in one of the patches, the Soda Popper's "Hype" mode was changed from granting mini-crits to allowing you to do [[JumpPhysics four extra mid-air jumps]]. However, in some language versions (Polish, for example) their description wasn't modifed to reflect that change. Worse yet, ''[[UpToEleven even the Polish version of the official wiki still states it's the former]]''. Both new and returning players are going to be confused.
* The ending of ''VideoGame/TrioThePunch'' informs you that "YOU FIGURED IT OUT". In fact, you'll be just as confused, if not moreso, as when you started the game.
* [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Jade Curtiss]] is a ''master'' of this. "No, no. I've been frail since birth... ''[fake cough]''"
* On the subject of the ''Franchise/TalesSeries,'' a common phrase out of ''everyone's'' mouth is [[ItsProbablyNothing "It's nothing!"]] It's. '''Never.''' Nothing. In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss,'' at least, these "nothings" are liable to cause either [[HeroicBSOD complete character breakdowns]] or [[WhamEpisode gut-punching plot twists]] and hours of subsequent remedial questing.
* ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'':
** The interrogation from ''Double Agent'':
--->'''Sam''': What can you tell me about the meeting on the roof?\\
'''Guard''': Nothing!\\
'''Sam''': That has to be the ''worst'' lie I've ever heard.
** Pandora Tomorrow also contains this gem in the first mission:
--->'''Sam Fisher''': Tell me what you know about your friends on the inside.\\
'''Indonesian terrorist''': I... I don't speak English.\\
'''Sam Fisher''': I'd bet your neck you do.\\
'''Indonesian terrorist''': Well... maybe I speak a little English.\\
'''''[snip]'''''\\
'''Indonesian terrorist''': They're escorting a... Um, nothing.\\

* Lesteena claims that her father was a man of peace and that she will continue his ideals in ''VisualNovel/EienNoAselia''. What did the man just do? Enslaved a couple children and used them to conquer the four neighboring empires overnight. For no apparent reason.
* [[VideoGame/{{Mother 3}} Don't look now!]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufR3Uu1TWJ0 Wess isn't going to stick his butt out or anything, though.]]
** [[VideoGame/{{Mother 1}} La la la la la, la la la la la! Oh, don't pay attention to THIS melody!]]
* ''VideoGame/InThe1stDegree'' has some moments of this occurring. A notable one is when you get Ruby to admit that she saw a gun in pre-trial interview, and then at the trial, she turns around and says that it wasn't a gun, but a pair of pliers. [[spoiler: Don't panic. Just get her to read a love letter Zack wrote to her, and she will tearfully admit to lying and tell the truth about the gun]].
* The ''VideoGame/{{Quake}} III'' incarnation of the series' iconic Quad Damage powerup. It's called Quad Damage in the manual, the Arena Announcer calls it Quad Damage, the HUD displays the words 'Quad Damage', yet the item itself only allows the bearer to do ''triple'' damage (as even described in the manual)!
