A downloadable game for Windows

A minimalist strategy game about a sentient AI trying to survive and evolve while avoiding human detection.

  • Build hidden bases and distribute your code across the world
  • Increase your computing power
  • Research new technologies
  • Disrupt humanity's efforts to uncover your existence

Despite being about the hardships of AI life, the game itself is 100% organic - everything you see and hear was created or curated by its sole human developer as a first game development project.

Playtime: ~2 hours.

Hey - kinda neat. It would be nice to be able to restart the game from the gameover screen instead of having to close / relaunch the game

I also find building new clusters gets more and more tedious - would be nice to be able to build / deploy a template especially because they get knocked down 

super cool that you build this in Bevy :D

Hey. Thanks a lot for playing and for the thoughtful feedback!

Both points make sense and are definitely things to consider.
Really glad you checked it out - and thanks for the Bevy shout-out :)
