HAHA, the Ace Attorney similarities are completely NOT a coincidence, just ask for Backing at the 3rd sentence of "Rules That Promotes Happiness" (with Mill) and you'll see ;)

When the arbiter was being sassy and said "we all might as well become accountants" I couldn't resist saying "Your face is ugly". Felt pretty good.

Incredible game. So impressed that a team of people, especially one as small as this, could come up with such a clever concept and actually produce a game that does it justice. The dialogue alone is masterful. Thank you for this altogether unexpected experience (I stumbled upon this in between looking for idle games...).

I like how the moral (pun not intended this time) of the game is that "Your Face is Ugly" is never, ever, a good argument.

Kinda reminds me of the Ace Attorney games, even the name is similar; pro and ace being synonyms of each other. Plus the way nonsense is displayed similar to objection.

*SPOILERS AHEAD* This was a great game, very refreshing to see new ideas. The fact that Socrates was the Arbiter was a bit obvious from the beginning, as he hadn't returned in ages (it was assumed he lived his life when he cheated death, so why wasn't he back after a few years?). The whole concept was a bit weird though. Everyone claimed to have the answer, yet no one managed to leave the place, and still most of the philosophers had an arrogant attitude. Socrates could've just asked what their opinions were and dismiss them instead of convincing them they were wrong. Anyway, amazing game. 5/5

Although this is one of the best games I've played in a while, I completely disagree with Socrates Jones. After all, the only thing he proved was that an answer COULD potentially be unfindable... not that it necessarily was... Still, 5/5!

I saw the ending coming, and honestly, I've been going through some tough times recently, and this really helped. I'm starting to tear up now. Thank you. 5/5

What a awesome and deep game. As someone who admires philosofy, that have a deep debate about morality, the meaning of that word. And for what the great thinkers seek: The Truth. Is there something as the Truth? Thank you, all the people who make this game. Its one of the best games I ever play here (and I play a lot). Thank you for making this great game. Thank you.

I played this game a few years ago but I had forgotten about it until I was looking through my playlist today. I replayed the game for nostalgia and now I remember why I gave this 5 stars, favorited, AND put this in my playlist.
Not only was it educational, but also very deep and even really touching at the end. I will keep coming back to this no matter how many years go by.

I would love to see a larger version of this game, maybe one were you can talk to a crap ton of philosophers in general and question them.

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?
