Professor McLogic Saves the Day
Solve randomly-generated logic puzzles for the betterment of humankind
You are Professor McLogic, the finest logician the world has ever known. In this game you will travel to many corners of the world and converse with the inhabitants, using your skills of logic to determine who is lying and who can be trusted.
Professor McLogic is a game of logic puzzles. The puzzles are not pre-fabricated but are generated on the spot by the program, so the possible situations are almost endless. There are 10 different scenarios, each with its own set of rules.
Here is an example of one puzzle created by the game:
========================================
In the School of Philosophy, everyone speaks only in conditional sentences. Individuals can hold one of two ranks: Master or Student. Based on the statements below, can you determine which of the individuals are Masters, and which are Students?
Feeney:
1. If I am a student, so is Caughill.
2. If Manel and I are not of equal rank, I am a master.
Caughill:
1. If Feeney is a master, so am I.
Manel:
1. If Feeney is a master, I am a student.
2. If Caughill and I are not of equal rank, I am a master.
========================================
If you figured out that all three characters are Students, then you have what it takes to play PROFESSOR MCLOGIC SAVES THE DAY!!
My best total time: 173:34
If anyone ACTUALLY FINISHES THIS, send me your total time and be added to the hall of fame!

Hi! I just played Prof. Layton and the Curious Village so this games looks very interesting. I might offer to beta test this in the summer but not right now as I got my exams. Keep up the good work!

It's good to see you've released the game Gib. Hopefully this time I'll be able to download it without it crashing at 78%.

It was probably something wrong with my connection. I did manage to download it and from what I've played so far I like it. Perhaps I'll discuss a little about the game in the Play Something Discussion Topic but great job on the game.

Never mind (both things).
I really like this game... though it's impossible to play it without taking written notes.

I'm loving this game.
But
"Since this is an RPG Maker game, you have to dash around a map and speak to each character individually, try to remember what he or she says, and then mentally associate the character graphic with the character's name, which is a lot of extra and unnecessary mental work in a game about logic. You might wish to write down all the statements, but that is incredibly tedious and as the game designer I can't expect anyone to do it."
I wouldn't expect anyone to have such a good memory as to remember everything in every map! I do write everything down, and it's indeed tedious, but I don't see any other way.
