Does the game have to be educational?

I know the robots and time travel examples are there already, but I just want to make sure. Since I am not experienced in philosophy, is it okay if it's just random folk wisdom instead of actually educational in philosophy? I've a story idea that I'm planning to turn into a visual novel game and I thought I'll give this jam a try, but I'm afraid it won't fit the philosophical theme if it needs to be educative.

It doesn't have to be educational. My goals in making philosophy games is to teach philosophy, since teaching is my job. But any game that is philosophical is great!
