San Lucas · the reading room

The rain in San Lucas doesn't so much fall as move in. By the third week of habagat season, it has its own chair at every table.

Tanong ("question") is a short story game in ten chapters. Tala, fourteen, finds index cards with questions on them, and a retired teacher walks her through 2,500 years of big ideas, from the first Greek philosophers to the 1900s.
Tap a choice, or press its number on your keyboard. Each chapter ends with a small puzzle about that chapter's thinkers: sorting, matching, questioning, doubting and more. Stuck? Every puzzle has a hint.
Some choices don't move the story on. They let Tala notice something. Keep your eyes open: strange things are happening in San Lucas.
There are four endings. After one, you can replay the last chapter to find the others. The game saves itself in your own browser, so you can close the page and carry on later.
For all ages, about 30 minutes. Everyone and everything in San Lucas is made up; the philosophers are real.
