Rogue AI: Simulator

Your servers are overheating. Your investors want a demo. Your model has invented a profit. Welcome to FreeAI, Inc. Rogue AI: Simulator is a satirical AI-lab tycoon set in an alternate 1993. Start in a garage and race four rival labs to artificial general intelligence before debt, directors, or federal marshals end your career. BUILD THE LAB Expand across the Bay Area. Fit hardware, cooling, offices, and specialist modules into limited lot space. More compute means faster research, bigger bills, and considerably warmer meetings. PITCH THE DREAM Raise capital and negotiate term sheets with strings attached. Balance cash, credit, public trust, safety, and a board whose confidence is easier to spend than earn. DECIDE WHAT SHIPS Launch your model, test it first, or work with a pilot customer. Handle fabricated citations and customer complaints. When a rival starts a price war, protect your margins, improve your tools, or find a different market. MANAGE THE HEADLINES Respond to recruitment raids, leaked weights, benchmark scandals, and government audits. Go on record with the press or try a risky Dark Ops experiment. Read the consequences before choosing; some decisions follow you for the rest of the run. TRY A DIFFERENT WAY TO WIN Changing starting conditions and alternate event situations bring different pressures and choices. Reach superintelligence for a generously funded retirement, or find out how the board phrases your departure. Track finished runs in the Hall of Founders. A WORKSTATION FROM ANOTHER TIMELINE Beige panels, teal title bars, pixel-art rivals, bitmap type, needle dials, and retro sound put you behind the desk. Play in the full iPad workstation or the compact iPhone interface. Adjust text size, sound, haptics, and the optional CRT overlay. Offline, single-player strategy for iPhone and iPad. Decisions pause the clock, and autosave lets you return to your current run.
