You raised a seed round and rented a server closet. Time to build God — or at least a profitable API. Singularity Inc. is a satirical idle tycoon about the AI gold rush. Start with one humming GPU and scale to a planet-sized compute cluster, watching your 2.5D data center physically fill with racks as you grow. Three resources, one clean loop, infinite "synergy." THE LOOP • Generate Compute, spend it on training runs, claim Data + Money. • Reinvest in racks, cooling, overclocking, and automation — every upgrade you buy literally appears in the hall. • Climb an AI research tree of increasingly absurd capabilities. • "Ship the Model" to prestige: reset for permanent Legacy Weight multipliers, then do it all again — faster. A WORLD THAT GROWS • A clean 2.5D data-center hall that lights up and sprawls as you scale — no two labs look alike. • Tap the open sides of the floor to buy expansions; the room physically grows in that direction. • Era transitions re-skin the entire hall and pop a satirical "press release" when you level up your empire. BUY YOUR DATA — LEGALLY, OR NOT • Source training data from licensed vendors… or risk the dark-web Bazaar for cheaper bytes. • Mind your Regulatory Heat: push your luck and a surprise audit might "request its cut." • A dozen+ satirical world events — viral demos, GPU shortages, open letters, talent wars — shake up every run. HONEST BY DESIGN • No ads. Ever. • No energy timers. No fake-urgency pop-ups. • Plays offline — your lab keeps earning while you're away. No standups required. • The whole game is free to play, start to finish. SINGULARITY PRO (OPTIONAL) • Offline earnings ×2 and a 24-hour offline cap • Autopilots unlock one Ship sooner • Pro-only hall themes and rack skins, with new drops regularly • Try it free for 7 days with the yearly plan, or unlock it forever with a one-time purchase Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. WHO IT'S FOR If you love idle, incremental, clicker, and tycoon games but want a cleaner economy, a world that visibly grows, and a sharp sense of humor about the AI industry — this one's for you. Definitely not a bubble. Privacy Policy: https://wrexist.github.io/SINGULARITY/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
