I really do hate this game cause it's way two hard I mean why can't all the levels make since like the TUT level but no you ruined the whole fu**ing game by not making ANYTHING make since it's two confusing and I hate it 1/5 if the game was super clear and was fun and challenging at the same time it would be fun. it's two much puzzle and not enough fun

Am I the only one who likes Text Scrolling and likes how I can slowly read it as it scrolls rather then having it all pop up before I can finish reading?

i've tried every possible response on kant. multiple times. including your face is ugly. even tried to see if it was some sort of specific combination. and i went back and made sure every question was asked, through every phase. ... somebody please explain this to me before i start a burning copies of the critique of pure reason

Going to wait for the text scrolling to be removed. Note to all developers: every game that does this, people complain about. Nobody likes it. Stop doing it.
Well, there's a vocal group that doesn't like it, but that's far from everyone. I'd say the moral is that providing options is good. Presentation is a huge part of a game like this and timing, and dramatic pose changes, and yes even the scrolling text is part of that, but we definitely should have had an option for people who want the more bare-bones version, and we'll get it to you guys in a couple days =)

Well, this was a truly enjoyable game. I would have liked to debate Nietzsche, but arguing for the case of absurdist philosophy was good too.

I had such a great time playing this game. I learned a thing or two about philosophy, had fun with the Phoenix Wright-esque style, and loved the characters. Oh, and "your face is ugly" is flawed for the Arbiter, since you can't see his face. That's why he wears a cowl ;)

I think the questioning system could stand to be improved. Instead of questioning entire statements at once, key words and phrases should be highlighted in red, and clicking on these key phrases causes a mini-menu to pop up near the cursor, from which you can select questions. This way, if a given sentence has several elements worth questioning, you can examine them each individually.

Curiously enough, the deer repellent in the introduction actually seems to work - if you buy it, although it's a game over, Socrates Jones is in fact protected from the deer that gets him in the main storyline.

"Why will it not let me challenge the assumption that gods create lightning or created the world in seven days etc? You won't bloody let me challenge his assumptions about gods that are the center of his argument.

hang on, ARIADNE? as in the girl who got Theseus to use a ball of string in the labyrinth? nice reference if that's where you got the name from since Ari certainly guides the player pretty well... most of the time at least.

Oh, I almost forgot my actual point; while this is a good idea, it's tough addressing such a complex subject in such a limited fashion. Like with the first guy I press for backing on the statement that gods are far greater than man. He asks if I can hurl lightning and w/e. Well, that's relevant, but not actual evidence...I realize we're dealing with philosophy, but if one could simply make up facts they could win any argument of any sort any time. I ask for clarification on the phrase "killing without reason" seeing as what's considered "reason" is 100% open to interpretation. Yet rather than clarification, he basically just repeats himself. This makes things quite a challenge seeing as trying to bring out what are imo the most glaring flaws yields nothing. And of course the answer to the riddle is that morality is entirely subjective and is purely an invention of the human mind.

silly how the argument option seems to be so different from what the character does. When I saw the arbiter say it is pointless unless we achieve perfection I knew the retort would be that striving would make things better not perfect but i had to click everything I could find until this argument was put forwards

is it just me, or does anyone else think of Phoenix Wright saying "OBJECTION!!!" when the nonsense sound and text pops up?

Yeah, I was making good money workin' at a place down the road and one day my boss just calls me into the office, he's like "Hey, Dev...I'm sorry to tell you this but we're going to have to let you go". I'm like "What? Why?". Well, turns out they'd went and gotten a deer in for half of what I was making. I told him man, that freakin' deer doesn't even have thumbs! I shoulda known better than to have taken the position in the first place; there's no job security in being a salt licker anymore. As a side note, I wish Ari was real. We'd go to dinner then spend a wonderful (albeit sweaty and vigorous) night together. By the time morning rolled around we'd have discussed philosophy so hard we'd barely be able to walk.

Great game, can't wait for the next episodes, maybe on the nature of responsability (maybe on a sci fi enviroment?), Happines or even self. (for the nature of self I liked the thought experiments on this site http://www.philosophyexperiments.com/)

Very fun... and informative. I ended up spamming questions on some of them, but I was forced to think before blowing all my credibility screaming "NONSENSE!" at every given opportunity. Still, sometimes it was difficult to know when to pick a given objection- I knew basically what Jones was going to bring up, but it was hard to figure out which combination would trigger it.

I would give a 5/5 for such a wonderful homage to lovers of wisdom, if it wasn't for one simple fact. YOU TEASED ME WITH NIETZSCHE. Favorite philosopher, you said he was next, and then its over. For that, 4/5.

First of all, Phoenix Wright x Philosophy. Good concept^^ Secondly, it is pretty funny how every philosopher got shattered like that, but even in the ending acting morally after their own ideas. I kind of hoped for Schopenhauer to appear (if you don't know him, check him out!) because I love philosophers that speak badly about humanity (like Hobbes) xD Overall, 5/5 from a philosopher :D
