I’ve played through a few sets of games recently that covered the same topics, but from very different viewpoints. Here are a few pairs of games I’ve found (some early, mild spoilers for games):
The Chinese Room:
A game about philosophical thought experiments, including many about rationalism vs. religion, with rationalism usually winning out.
Compared to:
Square Circle:
An escape-the-prison game that is largely about rationalism vs. religion, with rationalism not doing so well.
Another where the two viewpoints sometimes overlap, sometimes contrast is:
Mercy:
You are a doctor that gives mercy killings to patients. Grungy, deranged atmosphere.
Compared to:
The Life (and Deaths) of Doctor M:
You play through the afterlife of a doctor that also performed mercy killings, trying to interpret what happened. Clean, fantasy atmosphere.
For some humorous games, there’s:
Escapade!:
Get out of the jail cell the Screaming Communists put you in.
Compared to:
The People’s Glorious Revolutionary Text Adventure Game:
Spread glorious communism to the deluded capitalists.
Can you all think of any other pairs that look at issues from opposing viewpoints?
