About

“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”
― Socrates

The Socratic Dialogue is a Serious Game about Socrates, made in a month for a project that never started.

Story
Filo, a wanna-be philosopher, wanted to learn more about philosophy, so went to Socrates to become his pupil.
But his arrogance of knowing upset Socrates, which decided to make him go trough the entirety of the Socratic dialogue, so he can finally learn to never give something for granted and to question everything.


Gameplay
Learn the Socrates way of thinking trough three different minigames:

-The Not-Knowing: pay attention to every new item that joins the board, and remove the oldest one.
-The Irony: Respond to people's affirmations using three types of answers.
-The Maieutic: Move in the map avoiding the wrong people, and search for the one who will progress your philosophy!

Also, explore Socrates home to learn facts about him!
