Political Debate

This game has a strong right-wing bias.

If you are left-wing, this game may not be for you.

As of now, the game includes 31 debates. The list also features a search function.

All debates are scripted and may have multiple endings.

During a debate, either you or the NPC may start the conversation.

You may be given a single choice or multiple options.

Sometimes the game opens a separate screen where you must select the correct checkboxes in a datasheet. The game will only continue once all the correct checkboxes have been selected.

In most cases, the NPC you are debating with will try to punch you when faced with arguments they cannot refute, similar to many real-life situations. You can choose to punch the NPC back, let yourself be punched, or escape.

Depending on your choices, the ending may change.

For example, you can win by escaping the fight and moving your character to the left side of the screen.

Or lose depending on the conditions — for example, if you knock out the NPC.

In every debate included in this game, knocking out the other NPC does leads to a lose scenario, since the goal of the game is not to promote violence.

However, you can easily create your own debates where this condition results in a win.

This game includes tools for creating mods, along with examples that show how to create your own characters and debates.

Creating a new character is easy. All you need to do is edit a single file, settings.json, where you change the character’s name and ID, and replace the image file Body.png (you will need an image editor that supports transparent backgrounds).

Creating a new debate is also simple. You only need to create a Debate.json file and a settings.json file.

The game also includes tools to check for mistakes in debates, as well as tools to generate files for multilingual debates. It can even generate VS Code settings that automatically load the JSON schema and enable autocomplete.

There are tools that automatically check errors on characters, debates settings and also their translations.

The debate example included with the game will appear in the main menu list once you comment out the following line in the settings.json file: 

"hide_from_list": true,
