Sept. 2024

It's a pretty simple game and some people might not see it as a game. You get several short simulations with mini-games that present philosophical dilemmas. Before each level there is a short introduction of the dilemma and the philosophers are introduced. All this is shown through self-drawn characters and is accompanied by a funny narrator. (I am very pleased that there is also a skip button) Considering how much work has been put into the game, I think the price and playing time are okay. Once you have completed the “story”, there is a challenge mode that reminds me of WarioWare.

An engaging and Unique Experience. Never experienced a game that gives you the opportunity to ''pause'', stand still and think about the content and ideas you experienced.

Thought Experiment Simulator is a delightfully quirky way to dive into the world of philosophy. Ever pondered the Prisoner's Dilemma or wrestled with the Trolley Problem? This game takes these classic conundrums and lets you experience them in the most bizarre, yet fascinating ways possible. The educational value is surprisingly solid. You get a real understanding of these philosophical concepts, albeit through some of the most ridiculous scenarios imaginable. If you're trying to convince your parents that this game is more than just mindless fun, point out the thorough explanations provided. Just make sure to hide that "skip" button from them! The game also pays homage to some iconic games. There's a nod to a certain fruit-dropping game where you combine them 2048-style, and a tribute to the dino game you play when your internet is down (yes, there's a way to play it without cutting your connection, but that's a tale for another time). And who could miss the reference to the infuriating game where a man in a pot wields a hammer to climb obstacles? There are probably more references I didn’t catch because I haven’t played all the games they’re based on. So, dive into Thought Experiment Simulator and immerse yourself in these thought experiments. Before you know it, you'll be quoting them during hangouts with friends. Who knows, maybe you'll become such a philosophical savant that they'll include your own thought experiment in Thought Experiment Simulator 2. Now, wouldn't that be a thought experiment in itself?

Chilling out on the grass under a tree type game. You can learn something in the process, but the shits and giggles alone are worth the price. 7 out of "I'm a moral anti-realist so I don't think the value of a work should be determined by its ratings."

July 2024

A fun game that introduces many philosophical concepts and philosophers. Even if you are already familiar with these concepts, you can still have a good time playing through all the unexpected scenarios. The quirky narration, art style, and sound effects work really well here. As the developer's first game, it is very solid and polished (the juice!!!). Excited to see more in the future!
