I wish to bring to your attention a game based around philosophy.

I found this game incredibly frustrating, as it is closer to some kind of puzzle game than a "philosophical game". While certainly pioneering and a breath of fresh air, I can't help but feel that it was rushed and not given enough thought. I came to the conclusion that the search for an answer [to the question of morality] is not attainable, and that it would be immoral to search for one for various reasons. Yet this is not the conclusion you are "meant" to find.

I hope that you all do not take too much offense to a video game being discussed on this board, but I'd like to hear, among other things, how you would have wanted to approach arguments posed in the game.

It's annoying that my logical argument against Kant, that there can be no such thing as a categorical imperative when all morals are intention based. For example, Kant describes the act of lying as something that must always be avoided, but is it good to tell a child that his drawing is poor? Conversely, is it always good to save a dying man's life if he wishes to die?

I can't work out what statement and challenge it wants me to link up, and it won't let me have any of those.
