 Ir/rational Redux - with all new visuals and sound - is now live over at Newgrounds! "I think, therefore I am." "As certainties go, knowing that you’re some kind of thinking thing… some kind of living, thinking thing… isn’t exactly helpful. Knowing it’s bloody dark doesn’t get you much further." ir/rational is the dark philosophical tale of one man's struggle to come to terms with his powers of deduction. It's also a short, text-based logic puzzle. It's probably some other things as well.    Therefore you will play it. It tests your logic and deductive reasoning. Therefore you may be too lazy to play it. But you should. Also: it’s well-written, funny... You'll like it. - Alec Meer, Rock, Paper, Shotgun If you enjoy ir/rational, why not check out my blog - "Plot is Gameplay's Bitch"

The amount of atmosphere is amazing." - James Stark, Personal Effects "I really enjoyed playing a game with such a
consistent logical flow and I hope to see more of it." - Michael Lindner, Donator & DLC Purchaser "Nifty idea, great implementation. Makes me wish there were more games like this..." - F687/s, TIGSource Forums "Unusual, original and also satisfying." - MisterX, TIGSource Forums "I grew to really love it. I was actually really sad when it ended and there wasn't more." - Radica1Faith, TIGSource Forums "I felt connected to the
protagonist, and the mystery maintained throughout the game managed to
keep me interested till the end. Even then, I was
left thinking about the story further." - Matt Chandler, Game Tester "I haven't played anything like it before. I loved the style of writing." - Freddy PM, Game Tester "The writing was unique and humorous till the end." - Lee Wolfgang, Game Tester ...and some criticism, just to keep things balanced... "It can occasionally just fuck your mind up." - Lee Wolfgang, Game Tester To see your words here, email your feedback, good or bad - but ideally grammatically correct (ish) - to irrational@tomjubert.com Download ir/rational 2008 (7.23MB) Original version of ir/rational, text-only |
