What an unbelievably pretentious and terrible game. It attempts to guilt trip you on nearly every question regardless of what answer you pick, while forcing you to listen to unskippable voice lines saying what a terrible person you are. Then after each question it adds a "spin" to try to make you feel even worse. Most of the time the spin doesn't even make sense given the content of the question. For example, …

This is one of the most pretentious and ham-fisted games I've ever played. (Spoilers ahead) "Based on real-world philosophical papers" my ass: one choice is based on a riddle (the three switch problem) that has NOTHING to do with philosophy and NOTHING to do with the choice itself (why put it there then, if not to pad the in-game reading list?), and one is a Matrix reference that lists the Wachowski's in the …

For everyone who is upset about this game, get over it, it is not a literal ethics game. No matter which option you choose, it'll be wrong and the game is just going to tell you how dark this world is and how horrible your choice was. It does make you think, like what would you do in a situation. I enjoy it a lot personally and as a literal person I knew coming into this it was not a legitimate ethics game. This is …

Half the bad reviews are complaining that the narrative is too bias and the other is complaining that it's not bias enough. Both are missing the point. The point is to question your morals some and give you a laugh. You don't get that with pats on the back (now u don't get that with harsh judgement either tbf but that's for a different reason). But, by the end of the day, the game is mainly just supposed to be a …

A simple game that makes you question every choice you make. Mixed reviews seems like they hate being challenged on any decision they make, which is pretty concerning. Narrator feels like a pretty good impersonation of an inside voice you should have - someone that weighs pros and cons on everything. The voice actor for the narrator was also the perfect choice, I loved her performance in this, truly. Also, you not …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ehh... OK, look, this is mostly a flavour thing. My mind works a particular way, and it doesn't mesh with this game; you may feel differently. For me, the problem I have is that trolley problem type scenarios only work if two things are true. First, it the context in which I'm given it acknowledges that the philosophical question here isn't just about how we decide our values between two groups, but also whether we consider there to be a moral imperative to take action in situations where we…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love ethical dilemmas, but I don't care for this. In the original trolley problem, you don't NEED more information because why would you HAVE more information; you've got a very brief amount of time to make a decision. There are good debates to be had, here. In many scenarios presented in this game, you would have more time to decide, and more information WOULD be needed and COULD be gathered by the time you needed to make a decision. In some scenarios, you would most certainly have more than…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is interesting but I'm not a fan of the execution. The questions get absurd to a degree that makes them hard to really contemplate in terms of what you'd actually do. I thought it was going to be a game that actually gave you some fairly hard choices, but it just gave mainly silly situations and then mocked you in an obnoxious way regardless of the choice you made. That would be fine, except the objections it usually has don't often address the blindingly obvious reasons to take…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →me every five minutes: that's not how the trolley problem works that's not how the trolley problem works that's not how abortion works that's not how the trolley problem works that's not how schrodinger's cat works
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the game states that there aren't horror elements and that you'll just be asked philosophical questions, it began to include random jump scares which when not prepared for made me incredibly uncomfortable. The tone of the game also doesn't seem to want to genuinely talk about morality or philosophical debate but rather takes a negative tone of all answer choices being wrong which kinda feels boring after a while and like there's little point to the game. I recommend that if you still…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ONLY GET ON SALE nice little dark humor take on classic trolley problem that devolves into a neat story has some weird moments in where the story feels a bit messed up, so definitely not a game id reccomend at full price i got this for a dollar, and for a goofy game that gave me about just under 2 hours of enjoyment i cant say it was a waste. 6 trolleys out of 10 people
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I could leave a neutral review, I would. This game is, in simple terms, f**ked up. But so is my taste in writing, and i rather enjoyed that part. The concept is that there is no good choice. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place. All things considered, as a woman, I didn't find the way abortion was handled to be horribly offensive, but I don't think it was done well either. I have a like-hate relationship with the narrator. What I will say that really made me angry was the dog…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was never good with black and white decisions, especially considering how rarely they appear in real life. The Trolley problem in its conception is very good at being on of those, considering how difficult it would be to jam it on the switch rails. Many of the problems here, however, force me into making what I feel is a choice between two dumb options. (SPOILERS AHEAD) Some examples include whether or not you should cut off your leg with a saw or a blowtorch to free yourself from a plane…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just kinda rude and eerie. And let me be clear, yes Trolley problems will always have moral questioning and that debate aspect of what is truly the right thing. There is always a debate to be had and often times I find it fun to converse about these ideas and see other peoples viewpoints. I am not critiqing Trolley Problems as a concept... but this game just does some kinda scummy things. The game almost makes its goal to tell you that you are a bad person no matter what, which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad but just way too expensive for what little content it offers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR; VERY GOOD GAME - incredibly culturally and politically relevant. The reviews say mixed but I genuinely think a lot of people just don't like the feeling of being judged, and this game masterfully judges you as you choose, whether or not you're picking the "most morally correct option." The whole idea of the trolley problem is that there is none- which Trolley Problem Inc hones in on! I applaud the writer and narrator for really hitting it home in how awful the options are by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SO. SLOW. I wanted to make choice, I ended up waiting for text to appear. You can't pass animations. The text shows up so slowly even if you accelerate the game. The default animations of the screen are extremely annoying. Just couldn't stand it. A shame because the principle of the game is good. But gosh that's annoying to play.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wokie lecturing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has potential. Unfortunately, it fails to provide the moral choices objectively, with the developers constantly inserting their own political opinions into the dialogue. Even on the boot screen. It comes with this horrid tone of superiority that continuously hampers what could otherwise be an interesting game. If this was 20 minutes long, had a bunch of questions, zero dialogue, and simply compared my answers to everyone else's, it would be a thumbs up. Instead, we get this ragebait…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Demo was good, so I bought the game. The game is not. It quickly goes to a segment on AI cars, and the ignorance on the topic is astounding and forces you into false choices. After every choice you make, it will tell you you made the wrong one. That sounds fine -- it wants to show a different point of view, right? Except here's an example of how it works: "Should you continue selling driverless cars, or pivot to an ad-based driverless taxi service?" (Why you can't do both is not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More or less, this reviews a slew of ethical conundrums, and you get to decide how you will act. A recommendation I'd have for the devs, is to address the common problems people have with the trolly problem (and similar). For example, nothing is certain. Any action you take only has a probability of arriving at the desired outcome. Ethical problems become much more interesting when probability is taken into account (for example, would you take a 20% chance of killing someone, if it also had an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love ethical dilemmas, but this game wasn't made for that. It was made to make bad jokes about your answers. It doesn't matter which one you choose. You'll always be the villain.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was badly executed and there's no nuance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the amazing dev behind Trolley Problem. Inc. @readgraves.com , comes a new chaotic party game, Task Time! Happy launch day! To celebrate, we've teamed up with @wiredproductions.com to bring you the Better With Friends bundle (psst, PlateUp! is in there!) store.steampowered.com/bundle/71864...
neutral · AI labelView post →its clear that this is a comedy game but the way that they invalidate all your choices and just monkeys paw all of the consequences makes it pointless and starts to wear the comedy thin.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun short game that does what it needs. Only issue is that it's a game about your choices and none of the choices matter.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I ended up agreeing with the world exactly 50% of the time. I think most people are accustomed to the philosophies of the 'most good' or the 'least harm', but I don't actually believe in that. If there is good and evil then the existence of both implies that a neutral option exists, which the game does not provide but of the two choices one could be construed as 'more neutral' than others. It is perhaps the arrogance of the human condition that makes us dominant, but that in turn also makes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My brother bought this game for me. We played it as a family. He is no longer my brother and has since been drowned.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is genuinely awful, lets start from the beginning! The original pricepoint is crazy for the lackluster content and the general cheap feeling. This is reminiscent of those "are you gay?" quizzes on Roblox. I got this as a bundle as buying this alongside the game I actually wanted made it cheaper somehow lol. The style choices is awful, the game is stagnant with no motion, to hide this the developers put a CRT effect and made the font wobble. I swear games are slapping on the old VCR CRT…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, but not worth 11€. If it's on sale however, I highly recommend buying this. Certainly worth the Euro I spent on it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to save you a couple of hours, there are no right answers. There are no wrong answers then right? Nope, everything you do is wrong for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason that is either: arbitrary, contrarian for the sake of it, intentionally being kept from you until last second, or just thrown in there for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles. There is no real ethical debate, just wrong answers, which defeats the point entirely. If there was a right or wrong answer, ethical debate wouldn't exist. All of this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I get the moral of this game, the degree of which the game pushes against you for the choices you make can be infuriating at times. The game itself is a big guilt trip where you're targeted for every single choice that you make, regardless of what it is. While this has meaning behind it, there are many touches and details throughout the game that can bury that meaning under frustration. There were some points that made me feel insulted rather than stop and think like it wants you to: -…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"darkly comedic narrative game" that doesn't make you laugh if you're not a fat balding flannel-wearing millennial redditor
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I had to describe this game in a single word, that word would be 'Pretentious'. It is trying to express some greater meaning about our world and make you think about your choices but it fails miserably. When every choice is wrong, there is nothing you can really think about. It tries to make you care about issues within our world but they feel hand fisted and forced with no real reason why you should care or desire to learn more. There is some great potential here but it falls flat and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple game that makes you question every choice you make. Mixed reviews seems like they hate being challenged on any decision they make, which is pretty concerning. Narrator feels like a pretty good impersonation of an inside voice you should have - someone that weighs pros and cons on everything. The voice actor for the narrator was also the perfect choice, I loved her performance in this, truly. Also, you not having control and thrown into situations to make morally ambiguous choices feels…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game just tries to make you feel bad over every single decision but too bad for them i cant feel worse
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible game, love it. 10/10. Gave me a headache. Bought it on a big sale, I'd say it's worth the money. While the game is mostly a satire, it actually makes you think.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an innovative game that plays with the Trolley problem idea. The second half of it is better than the first, but that still doesn't quite made it for me. I wish you could skip questions or for them to go faster, and maybe that it wasn't so long. Creative, but not as good as I thought it would be.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was ok but developers definitely put to much political opinion into some of the stuff, also the twitch achievement was so stupid i wouldn't bother paying for this slideshow just watch a playthrough of it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The anti-White racism was a surprise, and not a welcome one. After that point I stopped caring about the morality of the questions since the writers themselves had failed on purpose.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short little game about moral dilemmas based off philosophical texts, actual real world events and that one movie reference. It's an A/B choice game with a nice graphical overlay accompanied by a nice lady voicing over the entire game (in English version anyway). The devs didn't lie when they described the game as darkly comedic. One criticism I can say is that most of the graphics are blinding white. There is an inverted mode, but as it really does invert ALL of the colors. Now the original…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a bit slow to play, and the visuals and some of the audio hurt, but most of it is otherwise pretty fun. The price is a bit steep for what it is, but on sale I'd say definitely worth it. Though I question a lot of the negative reviews.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it starts with the trolley problem, then it evolves in political propaganda/simply dumb questions which aren't thought provoking at all, not worth it even in sales
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game that's about moral dilemmas and the issue of being forced to conform with society, all you have is a game that forces you to conform. A 2 hour movie basically. You can't save the dog in the dog scenario, but the dev *somehow* did, and no matter what I did, apparently I'm forced to a hellish court? What is this.........? I know this was supposed to also be comedic, but the game not only did everything in it's power to get me to be at odds with it, but it also wanted to apparently…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is pro-abortion. Worst 1 euro I've ever spent
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm very hesitantly saying I don't recommend, mostly because of missed potential. There were some interesting questions to answer, but the narration was very heavy-handed at times or just so overly negative about each decision I made (which was probably the point to make me question my decisions) but it made me mad-enough that I initially quit the game early-on before replaying it a few years later. It does get a bit better at times later on, and overall the game doesn't take that long to get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Part of the actual nuance of the trolley problem and its variants is that neither answer ultimately is the 'right' one. Meaning that for every individual that answers a problem, they can break down their reasonings in ways that accurately displays their beliefs and sense of morals. This game does do that, but entirely in the negative, the focus on picking apart and pricking you for the weak aspects of your decisions. Every line from the narrator feels pretentious and ultimately it spits on the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game for the most part, except for the weird and continued fatphobia with the jokes and comments about the Very Large Brothers. Just felt unnecessarily mean-spirited.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →slow and unresponsive interface, constant barrage of bad jokes, and never stopping nagging about awful ideas and right choices in a game what's supposed to be all about making choices
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll give a cautious recommendation for this game since there is no in-between option. The game delves into some problems that are very philosophical in nature, most of us wouldn't even be concerning ourselves with most of the problems in there save for a few. Game play is basically click and choose/proceed, that's it. The Good: · Exposure to certain problems I personally never thought about before this (appreciate gaining new views, but my opinions remain unchanged). · Creative…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a very poor attempt at a visual novel, mixed with a choose-your-own-adventure book. It attempts to be both things poorly. It is, also, too heavy on stupid political issues and overuses the whole "a.i." nonsense.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trolley Problem Inc. is a funny and engaging morality game. It kept me on track a bit longer than expected, but it got increasingly weirder and more entertaining as it did. For something built on the straight forward lines of read & choose, it has a lot more personality and momentum than it first appears. They also have a pretty cool reading list that showcases the foundations behind the scenarios. All that being said, despite the “Thumb’s Up,” it has a feature that takes it from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trolley Problem, Inc., developed by Read Graves and published by Yogscast Games, is an unusual and thought-provoking experiment in interactive ethics. It takes the famous moral dilemma that has fascinated philosophers for decades—the classic trolley problem—and turns it into a full-fledged interactive narrative about choice, morality, and consequence. The game immediately sets the tone with a simple but powerful premise: you are an employee at a fictional corporation responsible for making…
