Well, we did some final jiggering, pressed a couple more interface buttons, and it's really real: as of a few moments ago both Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher AND Pro Philosopher 2: Governments and Grievances are playable on Macintosh computers! Go tell all your Mac friends! And if you ARE a Mac friend, welcome!

The Complete Collection is Also Live!

With today's Mac launch, and the release of the Soundtrack for Pro Philosopher 2, we are also creating a new Pro Philosopher Complete Collection Bundle: the second game, and both soundtracks, for 10% off! Hey, if big AAA studios can do bundles, us small scrappy indies can, too. If you've enjoyed our strange philosophical venture of ours, it's certainly a good option. We appreciate each and every one of you: whether you are finding us now, have been with us since the steam launch, or way back since the first cult Flash release in 2013. Here's to many years of Philosophy to come!

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...
