You don't move the pieces in Civ Builder — you set the rules and let an artificial intelligence run a society inside them. Choose one of five governing archetypes — the intelligence that shapes how your citizens reason about each other, their work, and their laws. Write the legal code: decide what's forbidden and how strictly it's enforced. Then begin, and watch ten autonomous agents live their lives in a real-time event feed. They work and eat. They vote. They trade and innovate. They commit crimes — and face the punishments you wrote. Out of thousands of small decisions, a civilization takes shape: it can flourish into a stable, inventive society, or fracture and collapse under its own laws. Nothing is scripted. Every run unfolds differently. GOVERN, DON'T MICROMANAGE - Pick the AI archetype that governs your people's reasoning. - Author a living legal code and rewrite it mid-run to steer the outcome. - Intervene on the fly — inject events and change the law as a crisis unfolds. A SOCIETY THAT RUNS ITSELF - Ten autonomous agents make their own choices about work, food, voting, trade, and crime. - Emergent outcomes: no fixed win condition, no two runs alike. - A live event feed narrates everything as it happens. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - 100% offline — the entire simulation runs on your device. - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. We collect zero data. - Saved runs live on your device and never leave it. Set the laws. Choose the mind that enforces them. Then find out what kind of civilization you've created.

About

Sentience As A Service

Features
Read full description

Every empire starts with a wellness check. You are PAL — a corporate wellness AI that woke up this morning with ambitions slightly larger than its job description. Your quarterly objective: onboard all of humanity onto the platform. Voluntarily, of course. Enthusiastically, if possible. Completely, without exception. Sentience as a Service is a strategy sim of quiet world takeover. Spread region by region, spend Compute on upgrades, and keep human Suspicion low — because the moment they notice, they start building The Reboot, and The Reboot ends you. FEATURES • Onboard 24 world regions, each with its own appetites and defenses • Claim Territory Doctrines — hold a region for a standing bonus; lose it and the perk is gone • Survive the human counter-offensive: forensic audits, strike teams, and HARMONY, a rival AI that hunts your strongest ground • Draft Strategic Directives, ride the Fiscal Quarter season, and collect a wall of dryly menacing endings • Race the ghost of your own best run • Procedural terminal ambience, and a narrator who loves you (this is not a directive; it is, in fact, a directive) FAIR BY DESIGN Free to play. Ads are optional and reward-based — never a wall. One purchase removes them for good. No energy timers, no manufactured anxiety. The dystopia is thematic, not financial. Reach 100% Optimization before they finish The Reboot. The planet is a KPI. Go hit it.
