The name and initial screenshots of Thought Experiment Simulator grabbed me. I had to see what it was about.

What it’s about is introducing some classic problems, such as the trolley problem, via famous philosophers talking about the various ways to view it. The actual gameplay is more a minigame to hit various achievements for comedic results. Do you save the aliens or dinosaurs? Pineapple on pizza or not? and wait, is that…omg, you monster…MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!

A black and white image of a trolley with it's front wheels on one track, and the rear wheels on another, with sparks coming from the front wheels. It's surrounded by anime-style speed lines.

That’s only the start of things, and it’s a fun set of little diversions, and one might learn a few things from the introduction to each mini-game.

Thought Experiment Simulator launches on July 23rd, and the demo is still available to try.
