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!
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!

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.

If you've never played Pro Philosopher before, now's a great time to discover why people enjoyed it the first time around— It's free! And fans of the original release can look forward to:

Greatly polished presentation!

• Higher resolution assets across the board!
  
• New 16:9 layout!
  
• Improved UI during debates. Improved UI in general!

New gameplay features!

• Controller Support!
  
• Achievements!
  
• Dynamic conversation logging!
  
• The groundbreaking ability to save whenever you want!

Additional script polish!

• A few weirdly worded lines are a little less weird!
  
• Em dashes instead of double hyphens! Double hyphens are a categorical evil.
  
• Perhaps a little something extra somewhere...
