Free Browser Game TDMI Turns Trolley Problem Into 16-Type Personality Test
The game's forced timer removes the option of refusing to choose, which is why the results people post read less like a quiz score and more like a verdict.

TDMI, a free browser game subtitled Trolley Dilemma Moral Catalog, released on September 6 and is trending on social media. Players answer 14 trolley-problem-style choices, with 5 seconds for the premise, 10 for the choice, and 5 for the result; if no choice is made, a lottery decides the route. Scores across judgment basis, involvement mode, reaction stability, and decision speed sort players into 16 four-letter types.
Skip a choice and the game rolls a lottery instead, so one side is run over either way. That rule does most of the work. High-difficulty rounds include running over the cat or letting the dog be run over, and running over the patient or letting the doctor be run over.
One mechanic goes further: pick celebrity in the ordinary person versus celebrity round, and the game later reveals the dead side's background, including an unanswered message from a mother asking whether you are eating properly. Results carry four-letter type codes such as KATU and KORU.
