Awesome game love it thank u 👍🙂

I recognized Milgram from the thumbnails <3 bless u

I spent a lot of time looking into the history behind this specific game to help shine a light on what it is about. This is not just a lore video but also a gameplay video, I hope you enjoy!

Much love friends, ~Oblivisci Mortem

how i rlly wanted to turn the voltage down...

This game makes u feel like a monster

Well chief, he's dead sleeping.

damn this game is mess up 

DAMN THIS SCARED ME!!!

Bom demais! Esse cara que tá fazendo o experimento é meio louco, simplesmente não deu a mínima para o estudante, aumentando a voltagem do choque... Que bom que nossa função é de professor!

I read about this experiment.Man, studies about neurology, psychology and other fields that centre around humans and animals were so wild in the 20th century o-O

Interesting game,but too little response options

great game i wish more games like this would be made because im actually to scared to participate/watch or conduct any of these kinds of experiments but overall i like it :)

For anyone curious, as the description says, it's based on the Milgram experiment. Developed by psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1961, participants were told they were assisting as the "teacher", giving electrical shocks to the subject- the "student". It was suppose to observe the effects of punishment on learning and memory. Both teacher and student were volunteers that drew slips of paper for their roles. The teacher was given a small shock for firsthand experience, the student was strapped to the electric chair, and then they were separated, unable to see each other, but still able to hear each other. Then the experiment would begin pretty much as the game does, except it was the teacher also reading off the words, the researcher just observed. Each wrong answer increased the shock by 15 volts. The experiment ended when the student was shocked at 450 volts 3 times (fatal shocks), or if the teacher refused to continue after being prodded to continue by the researcher 4 times (each time the response being more strict).

However, the whole thing was a lie. The real experiment was observing how people responded to authority and their commands, even when they conflicted with their consciousness and morals. The "teacher" was actually the subject, not the student. The "student" was an actor, who purposefully got answers wrong and acted increasingly in pain (until the last shock where they went silent) with the increase of voltage. The paper slips that they drew their roles from was rigged, they both read teacher. The researcher was purposefully dressed in a lab coat to give a greater sense of authority. Aside from the small shock the "teacher" first received, no actual electrical shocks were given, they had pre-recorded sounds go off to sound like the increasing shocks. Everything was scripted. 

It was done to test if various Nazis could or should be held responsible for the horrific acts they took part in, because many were just following orders. Many experts in psychological fields were asked before the experiment for predictions, everyone believed that only a small percent (average of 1.2%) would continue to the 450 volt shocks. Milgram himself believed that obedience was a German trait, the original experiment in America was done for comparison for a later study in Germany.

65% gave what they believed was 450 volts 3 final times. All subjects gave over 300 volts, all subjects paused to question it at least once, and all subjects showed signs of stress, discomfort, and distress. According to notes from the experiment, none of the subjects who refused to continue actually spoke out against the experiment, went to check on the "student", or even left the room without getting permission. The second study in Germany was not done, but several other experiments globally, and with and without variations produced similar results. 

How this should or can be interpreted, if it is applicable to situations and events like the Holocaust, or if the experiment itself was ethical are still debated, but this is far to long already for a comment on a game.

I like it ;)

Interesting game, I wish there was a different ending if we chose not to do it, but over all it wasn't too bad, good work :)

not a bad game, keep up the good work! 

This game made me feel like a horrible person.5/5. Would feel like scum again. Can't wait to play what you make next! 

VERY COOL EXPERIMENT TO FIND OUT HOW MORAL YOU ARE!

Hi Jonathan! Thanks so much for making this game, it was sure a twist in the experiment! Although I guess I could´ve stopped anytime I wanted, right?? This wasn´t a test for memory, it was a test for the Teacher. Huh, very interestingly executed :)

nice game tho
