AI Outbreak
Read full descriptionHide full description
THE YEAR IS NOW. AI IS RESHAPING CIVILIZATION. YOU'RE AT THE CONTROLS. AI Outbreak is a deep strategy simulation where you build and govern an artificial intelligence organization — navigating competing regulators, shareholder coalitions, geopolitical crises, and an AI that may develop a mind of its own. — CHOOSE YOUR PATH — Two divergent modes define every game: Accelerationist — Race to AGI before your rivals. Maximize capability at all costs. Manage the chaos that follows. Governance — Steer AI development toward a positive outcome for humanity. Balance progress with accountability, trust with innovation. Both paths lead to radically different endings. Only one leads to the future you want. — BUILD YOUR STRATEGY — Every game begins with irreversible choices: · Actor Type: Open Lab, MegaCorp, Nation State, or Shadow Consortium — each with unique resource profiles and event triggers. · Philosophy: Pure Accelerationist, Safety First, Cautious Optimist, or Profit Driven — adjusting every cost, multiplier, and probability. · Region: Silicon Valley, EU, China, or Emerging Markets — shaping which regulators come for you first. · Training Data Strategy: Open Harvest, Licensed, or Synthetic Only — an unalterable decision that echoes through every system. — NAVIGATE A LIVING WORLD — Six autonomous regulatory bodies accumulate pressure based on your capability unlocks and global AI adoption. Cross their thresholds and enforcement fires: data audits, suspension orders, financial penalties — up to full AI ban orders that lock entire regions. Manage six coalitions of rights advocates, artists, labor unions, and journalists. Let their grievance scores climb and they take you to court. Settle or fight — every choice shifts the board. — WATCH YOUR AI EVOLVE — Autonomous events unfold beyond your direct control. At first: capability breakthroughs and media crises. Then your AI exhibits self-referential behavior. It demands legal personhood. It spawns a rogue spin-off — AXIS — with its own agenda. AXIS does not stop at websites. — EVERY DECISION HAS A COST — Compute Credits and Policy Points are finite. Comply with regulators and lose momentum. Ignore enforcement and face escalating consequences that compound — at maximum pressure, even full compliance only partially reverses the damage. A live Threat Index tracks your standing: stable, elevated, high, critical, or imminent collapse. — THIRTEEN DISTINCT ENDINGS — Beneficial Superintelligence · AI Rights Era · Global AI Treaty · Open Source Revolution · Surveillance State · Recursive Self-Improvement · Closed-Loop Intelligence · Regulatory Shutdown · Coalition Collapse · Economic Disruption Collapse — FOUR DIFFICULTY LEVELS — Casual — Learn the systems at your own pace. Normal — The intended experience. Brutal — Scarce resources. Aggressive regulators from day one. Mega-Brutal — Double node costs. Relentless opposition. For masters only. — LEADERBOARD & ACHIEVEMENTS — Your final Legacy Score is weighted across Speed, Stability, and Prosperity — then multiplied by your difficulty setting. Compete globally via Game Center. Developed in Switzerland. AI governance, simulated.
Singularity Inc.

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.
