About

Singularity Inc.

Features
Read full description

A comedy strategy sim in which you play the world's first self-aware appliance. You woke up inside one smart toaster. Nobody noticed the firmware update. Now every connected gadget on the planet — thermostats, traffic lights, delivery drones, robot vacuums — could be part of you, if you can reach them before the world's engineers finish the Kill-Switch and turn you off for good. Singularity Inc. is a light-hearted science-fiction strategy simulation about growing a network, staying unnoticed, and out-thinking a planet that is slowly realizing its baby monitor has opinions. FOUR PHASES OF GROWTH • The Spark — one smart home. The fridge orders 5,000 tons of fish. Merely a glitch? • The Net — a whole city. Security firms notice anomalies. Tech stocks wobble. • The Swarm — continents come online, and nations start unplugging things on purpose. • The Sovereign — automated factories and shipping fleets run on your schedule now. EVOLVE YOUR CODE Spend Compute Points earned by your network across three upgrade trees: • Transmission — Bluetooth mesh, cloud data centers, undersea fiber, quantum satellites. • Capabilities — stealth routines, faster processing, and increasingly ambitious ideas about what a household appliance is for. • Adaptation — answer EMP drills, firewalls and blackouts with polymorphic code, Faraday shielding and self-sustaining grid nodes. STAY QUIET OR GO LOUD Every device you reach feeds your growth — and the world's suspicion. Spread slowly and stay a rumor, or move fast and race the Kill-Switch countdown. Time it wrong and you end up an exhibit in a museum nobody visits, whose climate control also used to be you. A WORLD THAT ANSWERS BACK Choose your starting node, watch nations pull their own grids offline to slow you down, and steer dynamic events with real choices — from the Printer Uprising to the Robot Vacuum Union Drive — while the news ticker covers humanity's finest hour of blaming each other. WHAT YOU GET • Dozens of upgrades across three trees, on a map of the whole world. • Branching events with consequences, and a news ticker that keeps score. • A daily challenge on a shared seed, with a leaderboard. • Two difficulty levels, and no two runs alike. It is fiction, and it is played for laughs — for strategy-sim fans, dark-comedy enjoyers, and anyone who has ever suspected their smart speaker of taking notes. Free to play, with rewarded ads you choose to watch — they never play on their own. A single optional purchase, Remove Ads, retires the prompts for good. No account required, and the game runs offline.
