Our take on Symploke: Legend of Gustavo Bueno (Chapter 2)
The main bounce point arrives before Chapter 2 begins: access depends on completing Chapter 1 and entering its password. Players expecting a standalone episode will stop there, while those willing to follow the chapter order encounter the university investigation and its philosophical framing.
What is Symploke: Legend of Gustavo Bueno (Chapter 2)?
This chapter continues a point-and-click adventure set at a Spanish university and inspired by the philosopher Gustavo Bueno.
Players investigate events surrounding a Rector Magnificus described as untrustworthy and work to rescue students from the university’s hidden corruption. Chapter 2 requires a password awarded for completing Chapter 1, which is available separately for free. The game is divided into chapters, with each one representing another stage in a progression modeled on Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. Its visual presentation was created entirely in Microsoft Paint, while its adventure style draws inspiration from classic point-and-click titles such as The Secret of Monkey Island and The Day of the Tentacle.
