KOMRAD vs Mergeria

=> Free for a limited time to celebrate landing on CNET's Best Mobile Games of 2016! <= Chat with an A.I. - this interactive adventure game gives you a chance to chat with a Soviet Artificial Intelligence from 1985 that’s been training in the dark for thirty years, doesn’t know the Cold War ended, and may be connected to the world’s second largest nuclear arsenal. KOMRAD is a casual interactive story game for iOS 9 and 10 and watchOS 2 and 3 that plays out through conversations and choices. When the Soviets shut down a secret project in 1985, they forgot one thing—to turn off the computer. Now you are the first person to connect to this advanced artificial intelligence that has been training in the dark for thirty years, unaware the Cold War has ended. Your conversational choices will determine your fate--and the fate of the world. KOMRAD is a work of interactive fiction* created by the former Chief Design Officer of IBM Watson** based on fundamental principles of real AIs and chatbots. You may learn something. We promise it won't hurt.*** As mentioned in The Verge, WIRED Germany, TouchArcade, Polygon, and other fine publications.

The Silver Union in the north and the Sun Legion in the south, two nations long divided by the Forbidden Lands, have always been at war, fueled by a deep enmity. The Forbidden Lands stretch from the ocean in the east to the mountains in the west, inhabited by dark forces. Only brave adventurers with unique skills dare enter in search of rare arcane fragments, mystical minerals for controlling fire and ice. Few know the true history of these lands. Centuries ago, the nations built the Tower of Arcana to harness the power of arcaneite. The Tower led to discord, igniting a war and a catastrophic surge of energy that created the Forbidden Lands. Now, young Selena and Solarion witness the awakening of the Arcane Tower above the Forbidden Lands, offering a chance to unite their nations and discover the mysterious forces behind it. What will the new world inherit from the old?
