Train Skills. Recruit Wizards. Conquer Foes. An idle/incremental RPG with deeply interconnected skills. Your skills feed the frontlines: Attunement, Summoning, and Sigilry power your wizards as they fight across an elemental hex map. Your skills feed the supply lines: Research, Runecrafting, Alchemy, Mercantile, and Scavenging keep the resources flowing. And skills you won't find anywhere else, like Chronomancy, Diplomacy, and Appraisal, tie it all together. Burn Runes in the Runic Cauldron. Train wizards at the Academy. Sell surplus goods on the Bazaar. Collect hundreds of items that fuel both your skilling and your combat. Your guild keeps working while you're offline.
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.
