About Anti-Science Brigade
Avani has a chance to save her mother's life if she can convince an entire town that science is fake. Play as Avani, debating everyone you can find in turn-based battles to persuade them to follow you. You will be debating alone, but those that accompany you will follow you to the ends of the earth.
Equip yourself in the best gear to fight (debate) in classic turn based encounters. Each battle will improve your knowledge and debate tactics. Level up to discover new skills. The more followers you acquire the more areas you will be able to explore.
Instead of axes and fireballs, you will be using debate tactics and tricks like Unverified Claim, Strawman Argument, Conspiracy Video, Loaded Question, or Misinformation Meme. Beware though, your opponents will have defensive techniques of their own, like Scholarly Article, Peer Reviewed Journal, Fact Check, Critical Thinking, or Check Sources. Don't worry, though, just Deflect to block and gain back your health!
Discover an emotional story that is at times as sad as it is ridiculous. Witness how the love of family can motivate someone to do just about anything. See firsthand how deep doubt, fear, or arrogance can cut even the smartest of us.
Explore the land of Gaia, from your snow covered home to the beach city of Tierra, to the desert oasis that is Althea, to the forest town of Sena.

Potential future updates include: additional language support and new areas to explore.

It is amusing to be reviewing a game about fallacies and forcing false dichotomies and not being able to give a review score more nuanced than "recommended" or "not recommended". This is likely obvious, but if the theme doesn't appeal to you, don't bother. The combat mechanics are simple, there are (fairly minor) UI frustrations sprinkled throughout, and character pathfinding is hit-and-miss. I also unfortunately can't say this is an easily picked up title for those unfamiliar with RPGs/games in general, because tutorials are sparse and menus are a bit fiddly, so it helps to be quite familiar with the genre and therefore what to look for and how you might generally expect things to work. That said, since the theme DOES appeal to me, I had an amusing two hours. (I feel that I should state my 1.9 hours of playtime is a coincidence, and I will not be returning the game) There are over fifty distinct characters in the game, all with dialogue, most of it tongue-in-cheek amusing. My first combat encounter was defeating a wolf in "debate" by literally yelling it into submission. By the end, my character was a silver-tongued charmer, using Ambiguity to put my enemies to sleep, then forc…4 found this helpful
