PhilGood is 2D adventure game with brain teasers and a strong script. Decoding symbols and mysterious messages.

Behind an apparent simplicity lies a solid scenario, comparing the criticisms of a Greek philosopher and the various abuses of our contemporary world. A critique of our ultra-Capitalism world. A story filled with metaphors, mysteries and discoveries.

Fight every enemy, solve every riddle in order to overcome obstacles and get a little closer to the “truth”. But at every moment, your life hangs by a thread!

...And in the end, you think you've seen everything, you think you have all the keys. What if the empires were hiding another reality. What is their real secret...!
