About this game

Play as Socrates and defend yourself against the very concepts of bad thinking!

In Cogito ergo sum, waves of demons named after logical fallacies and philosophical nightmares—Doubt, Bad Faith, and Nihilism—spawn around you and close in. Your goal is simple: survive.

Features: • Arcade Wave Survival: Shoot, dodge, and outmaneuver endless swarms of enemies. The longer you last, the harder they get. • Draft Your Upgrades: Clear a wave and choose your reward. Will you take piercing bullets, explosive rounds, or an aura that slows anything that comes near? • One-Handed Play: Designed for mobile. Drag your thumb anywhere on the left screen to move, and use the right side to aim, or rely on auto-aim to focus purely on dodging. • Boss Fights: Face off against giant, named demons every 10 waves. Can you make it to wave 69 and defeat John? • Meta-Progression: Dying isn't the end. Earn Wisdom from your runs and spend it in the store to buy permanent starting bonuses. • Multiple Modes: Try Maze Mode and fight your way through hedge mazes, or find the secret hidden on the title screen.

How far can reason and firepower take you?
