About CETERIS Paribus
Kai is in big trouble! Economics homework is due tomorrow and it’s too late to study. Luckily, Professor Pavlos lives right next door! Pavlos will not only help Kai complete their homework on time, but also explain economics practically, through the different ways it affects our lives.
Follow Kai across Pavlos’ house, discovering pieces of the old professor’s life in every room. Each piece teaches Kai something new about economics, in a simple and contextual way. Complete all rooms and finish Kai’s homework and you too will know the basics of economics!
Kai is anxiously awaiting your help!

In Ceteris Paribus you will:

- Experience a combination of classic point-and-click adventure and hidden object games;
- Discover open and secret rooms in Pavlos’ house, filled with memories and references to real historical events;
- Learn more about economics in a fun way, maybe understanding terms such as “inflation” and “cryptocurrency” for the first time;
- Decide for yourself if Pavlos is really a vampire or not.
Kai is anxiously awaiting your help!

This is the kind of minimum viable product Digital Homicide were so popular for, pumping out asset flips every week until people pointed out what they were doing and they tried to sue reviewers, Jim Sterling and Valve. Worked out well for them didn't it? Nope. As usual with "educational" games, this isn't making education better, but it is making gaming worse. What have the kids learned today? That it's economical to steal the work of others and put your own name on it because this is cheaper and easier than doing the work yourself (Adam Smith would be so proud of this exercise in marginalising input prices, lowering labour costs and manufacturing efficiency) and that plagiari…1 found this helpful
