This is an interactive fiction (IF) game designed to teach philosophy (with a focus on normative ethics). For more information about the design and research goals of this game, see the docs/ folder.

The game is aimed at students 16 years of age and older, though it is still playable and would still be valuable to younger children. This game does not contain mature themes (except for some references to murder), but does introduce complex concepts that very young students may have difficulty understanding.
