Description

UPDATE: Sequel here: https://www.kongregate.com/games/tjubert/ir-rational-investigator

A short game of logical argument; a dark philosophical adventure.

Argue the toss in a twisted tale of logic...

In ir/rational you complete, create and discredit arguments by selecting propositions and filling in the blanks. It's a puzzle game based on propositional logic, and a graphic adventure all in one - only here you don't so much need to escape the room as prove why you'd even want to.

- Unique, language-based argument system: formulate logical proofs to progress through the game

- Dark philosophical comedy by Tom Jubert, writer of Penumbra, Driver: San Francisco and FTL.

- 10 screens and roughly half an hour of intelligent, challenging and inventive gameplay

- Musical score by award-winning composer Mikko Tarmia

How to Play

Instructions:
- Click to progress story
- Complete the arguments by selecting options from the drop-down menus

NB Some systems don't display all the dropdown options at once, and you have to use the arrow keys to scroll. If you can't see the right answer, chances are you can resolve the problem with the arrow keys.

I really like the game! Gives you puzzles in a nice story (really nice). It was a bit too short tho. But I'm sure you'll make up for that in the sequel *hint* *hint*

If anything the game sort of made me appreciate the ambiguities of human language since the game likewise makes several inferences that would not hold up in strict propositional logic, like the fact that IF/THEN does not necessarily establish symmetric relations, even though some parts of the game require you to make those fallacies just to get the correct answer.
