Die letzten Tage der Vernunft

About this game

The Last Days of Reason is a mini-adventure by Jan “Poki” Baumann (known for Dünnes Eis, Deponia, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout) that takes you to Greece in 320 BC – right in the middle of Aristotle's time and shortly before the end of Attic democracy.

The story of Nikki

You play Nikki, who wants to be the first woman admitted to the Lyceum. But she soon realizes that philosophy isn't the only thing being debated there: the young democracy is also facing challenges that seem frighteningly familiar to us.

A mysterious companion

On her journey, Nikki encounters a mysterious character who accompanies her. His questions, hints, and riddles help—or confuse—her in her quest. His true intentions remain unclear, but he opens up new perspectives on a world between tradition and change.

Gameplay and themes

  • Classic point-and-click gameplay in a compact, narrative format.

  • Historical setting in ancient Greece – rich in detail, humorous, and atmospherically staged.

  • Themes such as democracy, justice, and equality – surprisingly relevant today.
