The Trolley solution is esentially a collection of simple minigames hidden within a set of trolly questions you answer and see the global statistics at the end. Everytime you choose to pull the lever for that level, a new minigame is unlocked and you have to complete it to unlock the next trolley problem (I assume you can just go back and not pull the lever but didn't do that myself). Overall it was entertaining enough to finish. There's a few funny moments that got me to chuckle and some of the minigames were enjoyable. The game is also quite short so it doesn't become too tedious.
This game takes an internet meme and uses it to make a unique, entertaining, silly, high school level philosophy though experiments. Includes basic puzzles, some levels are very simple, others are very challenging. I would even go as far as to call this game "Warioware-like". The default color mode blinds my eyes with the white screen. I love how it allows a dark mode. I set my colors so it looks like I am playing a nostalgic virtual boy. I am reviewing this game because I think it needs more love. Hoping my review helps with that.
Doesn't overstay it's welcome. Fun game for people with some spare money to burn. Ironically some of the VIP Zone scenarios got the most laughs from me.
Exit Screen Isnt A Trolley Problem :( 2/10 everything else, however, Great! and difficult sometimes, difficulty curve needs just a little, work, but it was very fun!
Just boring
This is a rough up thumb. Definitely has some pacing issues with some of the "mini" games. The novelty of being Sisyphus or using a Tamagochi wears off real quick yet the game asks you to keep going for like 5 minutes. "Teehee, it's like Trolley Sim!" you may giggle at the second-to-last gag, only to then [i[play[/i] Trolley Sim for like 10 minutes and understand why you bought this game and b[]not[/b] Trolley Simulator 2026. Still, if you can push past the bits of tedium, it's not entirely a terrible attempt at humor centered around the Trolley Problem. It's one of those Marvel-esque things that require entirely too many references to pop culture such that if you strip it of that there is almost nothing here. [i]Some[/i] may say this is creative bankruptcy; I'll be a little more generous and just allude to it. My biggest praise is the technical aspect of having been able to accommodate smoothly a set of genres. Perhaps it's less impressive today with engines being capable of this out of the box, but I'd still like to think it is a feat worth telling of. May Dan learn and make a game worthy of the virality he strove for here.
It lets you do the thing. The thing from the manga.
100% worth it for trolly-san *beep-beep* was one of the best 3 hours of my life.
Ein sehr gutes spiel. Ich hatte viel Spaß, allerdings ist die deutsche Übersetzung nicht so gut.
I generally never give a bad review even for really bad games that Steam gives away for free but I have to say this game isn't worth your time. I got it on a whim last year and only now got to play it, I might even have given it a positive review had the content not been blocked behind a paywall in form of DLCs. The music is nice, the mini games are somewhat fun but other than that there is nothing noteworthy in the game. Sure, the art style is unique (probably the only reason I got the game) and the game is simple and casual but there are tons of better games available that I can't overlook. The game seems nice for the first 10-15 minutes (they try to be quirky but the jokes are decent at best) but the experience turns sour once you realize the mini games are much longer than the actual game. I won't be spending more on the DLCs and I recommend you choose other games, I don't think the game is trash but won't recommend it for the price (even excluding the DLCs).
