Intelligible Games, the renowned game developer behind Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher, has announced the highly anticipated sequel, Pro Philosopher 2. Set to be released on Steam in 2024, this browser-based cult game follow-up promises to take players on a philosophical journey that delves into the most polarizing topic of all time: politics.
In Pro Philosopher 2, players assume the role of Ariadne Jones, a diligent student preparing for a crucial exam. Ariadne finds herself constantly immersed in a peculiar philosophical afterlife every time she falls asleep. In this ethereal realm, she seeks wisdom and guidance from great thinkers throughout history, except on one subject she wishes to avoid – politics. However, the situation takes an unexpected turn when Ariadne’s mother becomes trapped in this afterlife. To rescue her, Ariadne must answer a seemingly simple yet intellectually profound question: What is the ideal form of government?
The game offers players the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking debates with famous philosophers, allowing them to challenge established ideas and potentially reshape the world around them. By presenting persuasive arguments, players can compel these brilliant minds to genuinely consider their points—a level of engagement that Ariadne often yearns for in her everyday life.
Pro Philosopher 2 promises an expanded roster of characters and philosophers, each bringing their unique perspectives to the table. As players delve deeper into the game’s narrative, they will encounter complex topics that invite profound contemplation and foster a greater sense of immersion.
One of the game’s core mechanics revolves around mastering logical moves. Players must navigate intricate argument puzzles, identify internal contradictions, and strategically cause opponents to question their own beliefs. By honing these skills, players can unravel intricate philosophical quandaries and emerge victorious in their debates.
While the game tackles weighty philosophical questions, it also infuses humor and lightheartedness into the experience. Pro Philosopher 2 features an engaging story that blends profound, unanswered inquiries with moments of silliness and absurdity. Players will have the option to approach their opponents with pure logic or opt for witty retorts, adding a touch of personal style to their debates. The game offers choices in between arguments, enabling players to shape the direction of the story and enjoy a slightly different experience with each playthrough.
Intelligible Games’ Pro Philosopher 2 combines immersive storytelling, strategic thinking, and a diverse cast of historical figures to create a unique gaming experience. By navigating through intellectual debates on politics and other subjects, players will have the opportunity to broaden their understanding of complex issues while enjoying an engaging and thought-provoking narrative.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the opportunity to engage with Pro Philosopher 2’s rich philosophical world. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare to embark on a profound and intellectually stimulating journey when Pro Philosopher 2 arrives on Steam in 2024.
