Beat the game. Did not get the badges. Would still heartily recommend. The philosophers were well represented, the humor was on point, and it it managed to dodge the massive levels of pretention that might seem inherent to the premise. A beautifully executed game.

"Hey dad, you can do more than just ask questions.Sometimes that just doesn't cut it." A that moment, I thought she was gonna give me a stick.

Well disappointed I didn't get my badges when I didn't lose to anyone! I know this site hates Chrome, but I get them for other games on here with how I have it set up so not sure what happened.

@Bladesinger Though I do not believe in the existence of a god, I find that your premise is accurate. Modern science has essentially proven the non-existence of any definite morality. However, this does not mean that your argument is illogical, given the context. Well said indeed.

Interestingly, the first part of Eutrypho's argument really only falls apart under the premise of polytheism. Monotheism would obviously sidestep this difficulty. The second part, the question of if good is good because God commands it or God commands it because it is good, becomes a moot point if we consider God to be a being who's nature constitutes what is good. In this case, God commands good because it aligns with his nature and being, and thus the origin and nature of good is bound up in the being of God. So God does command good things because they are good, but the source of that goodness isn't coming from an arbitrary, higher source. And concerning the idea that good is good simply because it is commanded, this is a flawed statement that assumes the command is arbitrary and self-existent. If I say something true, the truth value of that statement does not SIMPLY rest on me saying it; it holds regardless. But if I don't say it, then I'm not speaking the truth.

I want to die. The fact that my daughter is making me listen to a salesman trying to sell me Deer Repellent shows me that I'm a terrible parent.

Started debating with the Arbiter, and looked at the idea slate (once the other philosophers came to help me out). NO WAY I'M TELLING THE ARBITER HIS FACE IS UGLY!

So, it's probably a thing on my end, but I beat the game and both achievements have not been unlocked, which from their description, should be impossible!
Other than that, very intuitive game play! Through the philosophy of it all, the game really challenges finite concepts, which are easier to pick apart and implode their beliefs. Remember kids, closed minds learn nothing new.

So boring, and Irritating game, and unrealistic too, cause 98% of the people he tried to sell too, Would have told him where to stick that blue bottle of deer urine and then slammed the door on his arse. ;)

Oh my God this is boring. You have to resort to brute force on these because there are plain and obvious statements you aren't allowed to suggest. This is a very poor implementation of the original idea.

I like how you can yell FIRE!! twice in a row with no penalty, even after the Arbiter tells you not to cause any panic.

After several Debates with the world most influent philosophers, I come to realise...
The only one who was right all along was Billy and his Deer Repellants.
For sure he is the most wise Human in History.

So I just realized... The Arbiter says he likes Socrates Jones's green sweater-vest, which is - as he claims - the best colour. And the Socrates Prime's face and hair are green, too. :D
Anyway, a great, challenging, educational and funny game!

"might make for an interesting game, though..." Is this in reference to the Ace Attorney series, or a game of your own?

You know, this would be infinitely easier if they came to the realization that they cant be right because they havent gotten a wish...

NONSENSE!!! How can the creator of this game possibly know anything about morality, or what these great philosophers would say in the afterlife, if there is an afterlife at all?

Good game, though there were a few points like at the very end where I felt that I knew what was flawed without the clarifications, and as such I felt no need to ask for them, which made it quite frustrating at some points.

So, who is the real arbiter? Friedrich Nietzsche or Socrates?
Maybe, Friedrich Nietzsche is the 1st and Socrates is the 2nd?

That was wonderful, and I can agree with the main character's view in its currently stated form.
I hope to see more games of this type in the future, (of similar or better quality hopefully).
Truly an amazing experience. Thank you.

Hobbes: "The things we desire -- food, water, and shelter, for example -- they are not unlimited in quality."
This is catagorically false. We can build shelter, grow food, and as for water. We have more water on this planet by mass than all of the humans combined, it's simply a matter of building better infrastructure to make the water drinkable. Plus water is 100% reusable (once cleaned). Finally, we can MAKE water, it's actually pretty darn easy to create more resources than all of Mankind needs
Only energy could be considered limited, and that's not going to be a problem once we get close to the heat death of the universe, (which, depending on your views of religion, might not even happen before the book of Revelations comes to pass. )
