About the game

Trolley Problem, Inc. is a darkly comedic narrative game based on real-world philosophical papers, in which you are asked to make a series of impossible choices from two awful answers. Wrestle with your moral compass, decide the fate of millions – and compare your choices with the rest of the world.

What players say

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.

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).
