About

What happens if AI replaces humanity? You have been given $20,000 and 365 days (10 minutes real time) to build the Machine - an AI inspired from the 1909 short story "The Machine Stops" by E.M Forster.

Generate resources like Training Data and Code by hiring employees (human, for now). Research efficiency upgrades to scale resource production up. Strike a balance between avoiding bankruptcy and failing the time limit because you grew too slow.

The Machine will be watching. What kind of role model will you be? Pick between three Bias paths each with their own different mechanics. Will you nudge the Machine towards being a Greedy stock market obsessed AI? Or a ruthless Controlling political lobbyist? You are responsible for it all in this fast-paced, challenging game.
