TTEoT is a superb game, and that’s not the only LW-relevant theme it contains.

Oh, hush you. With my LessWrongian superpowers, I know what the game was meant to be about. It’s not our fault that the scriptwriters just had to be rephrased with the “sbhegu qvzrafvba” herpaderp so that lesser mortals could follow it. :)

So it’s the same as the plot of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality? >.>
Oh god, I hope not. You can see in my above comment what that would actually entail.
As it was presented in the game, I personally found that to be among the worst plot twists I had ever experienced.
