Show HN: Browser puzzle game, try to convince NPC the world is ruled by lizards

https://fiftysevendegreesofrad.github.io/bruto/?h
1•sideshowb•7h ago
I've been making an experimental browser game on the topic of conspiracy beliefs and how they arise - would love to know what you think :) The underlying model is a belief network, though for the purpose of gameplay not strictly Bayesian. Your goal is to convince the main character the world is ruled by lizards.

(Full disclosure: Although I’m only here to test the game, I’m doing so as an academic researcher so have to tell you that I may write a summary of responses, and record clicks, as anyone else testing a game would. I won’t record usernames or quote anyone directly. If you're not ok with that, please say so, otherwise commenting necessarily implies you consent. Full details linked from the title screen.)
