About

Singularity

Features
Read full description

You run an AI lab. The goal is simple and impossible: reach superintelligence first. Singularity is a turn-based strategy game about the race to build AGI. Every quarter you choose what to research, what to ship, who to hire, and how to handle rivals racing you to the same prize. Push too fast and your AI slips out of alignment. Play it safe and someone else gets there first. TWO WAYS TO PLAY - Classic - a deep campaign across five eras, from the first breakthroughs to the singularity. - Race - a ~15-minute roguelite sprint for one-more-run sessions. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Climb a branching research tree: Language, Vision, Agents, Data, Safety, Security - Build and upgrade products that fund the next breakthrough - Hire researchers, developers, and PMs and put them where they matter - Outmaneuver rival labs, or sabotage them before they sabotage you - Build the superintelligence, then face the moment it wakes up SIX FOUNDERS, SIX PLAYSTYLES A prodigy, a showman, an architect, a mogul, a saboteur, a sentinel - each bends the game a different way. Every decision compounds. Alignment is never a number you can see, only a gamble you take at the end. There are many ways to win, and more ways to doom everyone. No ads. No timers. A one-time optional unlock for the full founder roster. The race is waiting.

About

AI Tycoon

Features
Read full description

You found one refurbished laptop in a closet. That is enough to start. AI Tycoon is an idle tycoon game about quietly building the world's biggest AI datacenter empire. Serve AI requests for cash, buy more compute, and grow from a single laptop into a planet-scale swarm that never sleeps. Just try not to let anyone notice how much power you are drawing. WHAT YOU DO - Tap to serve AI requests and earn cash, then reinvest in bigger, faster compute. - Keep power, cooling, and water ahead of your machines, or everything throttles. - Watch your suspicion meter. Grow too fast and people start asking questions. - Fund research, then reset for Model Breakthroughs that supercharge your next run. SCALE WITHOUT LIMITS From a closet laptop to server racks, warehouses, orbital compute, and finally a Dyson swarm around the sun. Every reset makes you faster. Every upgrade buys a little more of the future. HOW IT ENDS Most idle games never end. This one lets you research the Origin of the Universe itself. Get there before anyone traces the power bill back to you, and you win. Quietly. FEATURES - A deep idle and prestige loop that keeps paying off while you are away. - Offline earnings, so your empire grows even when the app is closed. - A satirical story about compute, power, and getting away with it. - Play in your language: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. - No account and no sign-up. Your progress stays on your device. AI Tycoon is free to play, with optional ads and one-time in-app purchases, including an ad-free unlock. No loot boxes and no gambling, just numbers going up and a growing sense of unease. Serve the tokens. Cool the racks. Do not get caught.
