Line 174:

* ''[[Quantum Break]]'' (2016): A video game by [[Remedy Entertainment]], centers heavily on the question whether the past can be changed or not. Some of the characters in the plot are driven to change it, whereas others, who have already tried doing so in vain, have resigned themselves to come to the conclusion that the Novikov self-consistency principle seemingly applies.

* ''[[Outer Wilds]]'' (2019): A video game involving time travel which does not follow the principle, causing a game over if the player experiments to test it.

* All time travel in the [[Hallmark Channel]] original series ''[[The Way Home (2023 TV series)|The Way Home]]'' follows the Novikov self-consistency principle. Two of the main characters can travel backwards in time by jumping into a pond, but they are unable to change anything in the past. All of their actions become part of history, and they actually end up causing the tragic events they were trying to prevent in the first place.
