Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher

## Description

In _Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher_ you play the role of Socrates Jones – an
accountant from New York, with no prior skill or interest in philosophy, but
whose daughter Ariadne is fascinated with it and John Stuart Mill’s ideas in
particular. After an unexpected series of events, including a case of mistaken
identity, he and his daughter arrive at the realm of philosophers. Ariadne
teaches Jones the ins-and-outs of proper philosophical debate, which he must
utilize to return back to our world.

The game is set as a series of confrontations where you must find a flaw in
your opponents arguments by using pure logic (somewhat similarly to _Phoenix
Wright: Ace Attorney_ ). You can hear out an short thesis about the nature of
morality, divided into short statements. Each statement can be examined for
clarifications, relevance and backing to determine its validity. Often
statements would be amended, extended or entirely removed to clarify the
entire thesis further. Once a statement is sufficiently clear it may be
challenged by relevant prior statements. Correct debating will improve your
Credibility meter and incorrect actions lower it. Once the meter is exhausted
the game ends (but can be resumed from any point you’ve previously reached).

The game was designed, among other people, by a philosophy teacher and
attempts to educate players about such great thinkers as Euthyphro,
Protagoras, Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill and Immanuel Kant with a mix of
humor and seriousness.
