Theme interpretation
Part Retro Visual Novel, Part Socratic Dialogue, this simulacrum is a hybrid of many things, but primarily of Postmodern Revisionism and Platonic Creationism!

I liked the idea and the fact that you incorporated Plato's work in modern gaming; I will have to agree with some of the other comments, maybe a few more choices to make the game a bit more interactive would make a massive difference!
Come and check our game as well :)
I also wished it was a little bit more interactive. But it's nice work.
Wow, so, good work! I think. :) I won't lie, I feel like I'm being trolled, but it's such a wonderful-looking troll that it's actually quite amusing. Until I realize I can't do anything.
As someone who grew up playing these kinds of educational games on my parents' Mac Classic, I greatly appreciate the work put into recreating the aesthetic and era so thoroughly. But, yeah, just wish I could make any kind of choice other than to sit through the whole dialogue or not. I even sped it up and waited to get through the whole thing, thinking there'd be something for me to do at the end. But alas...
Anyway, you clearly put a lot of great work into the presentation. Full marks there :)
Nice! Only complain would be the text area could be bigger
Very cool visuals, and neat subject matter! There weren't many decisions to make, but has certain gravity to it.
I don't know what possessed you to do this but it's some kind of genius I can't quite identify. I cannot believe how long it is - I read the first act and then sped through the rest. And it still took a long time! Very creative.
Thanks fo making this I will try this completely even after the jam. Great job! Do check our game too 😁
I wish that I had time to read the whole Timaeus and rate all the other games, but I can score it upon what I saw. And what I saw is good :-)
It feels a bit hard to read the text with such a small reading area. I used ink for my visual novel, maybe you can try it out next time.
This is fantastic and wonderful and thank you for making this.
