It's finally here! We've hit the big release button, and Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher is available to all! This release was a labor of love created over years of nights and weekends, with improved UI, improved art, additional gameplay features like achievements and full controller support, and a few new script additions for the eagle-eyed vets... A loving homage to a certain lawyerly game series, Pro Philosopher introduces its own mechanical twists to cross-examination gameplay, all wrapped up in a charming story and healthy helping of humor. Face off in interactive debates against a host of famous philosophers and a deer repellent salesman. Ask questions and present counterpoints to find problems in your opponent's ideas and cut through their NONSENSE! We're very proud of how this new version turned out, and hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it! If you want to follow future developments or get in touch, check us out on twitter or here on the Steam forums! Love, The Pro Philosopher Team

Everyone Socrates Jones knows seems to love philosophy— everyone except Socrates himself. A simple accountant from New York, Socrates was never interested in philosophical questions or the art of arguing. But when he finds himself debating for his life against a queue of famous philosophers, Socrates Jones has no choice but to expand his horizons in a quest to find the nature of morality.

The classic game, rebuilt for Steam!
