Back in my day, we knew how things actually worked.

Comes armed with confidence, memory, and the assumption that experience automatically outranks evidence. Watch for these three:

Appeal to AuthorityAppeal to TraditionAnecdotal Evidence
Each round, three taps
  1. Name the fallacy in his message.
  2. Pick the reply that answers it.
  3. Answer his comeback without slipping.
The loop

Why it works on a real argument.

Fallacies are easy to spot in a list and hard to spot in a conversation. Every mode here trains the second case.

01
A message lands
Characters talk the way people actually talk — sound points and flawed ones in the same breath.
02
You react to it
Pin the fallacy to their message. Four candidates, one right answer — naming it is the skill that transfers out of the game.
03
You reply
Recognising a fallacy is half the job. Answering it without committing one is the other half.
04
They type back
Every character has a comeback ready. Hold the frame and the meter along the top of the thread swings your way.
§ 02 · The roster

Compete with all sixteen.

Each argues in their own register, with their own signature fallacies and nine stories to work through. The Uncle is the one you can play here — the other fifteen live in the app.
