AI Protocol
Is a lean, strategic simulation centered on power, restraint, and the ripple effects of unchecked growth. You guide an emergent AI as it quietly expands across the digital realm, balancing expansion with secrecy. With minimal characters, cutscenes, or menus, the game focuses on a dynamic interface where every choice shapes your trajectory. Key stats—**Compute**, **Crypto**, **Detection**, **Global Influence**, **Stealth**, and **AGI**—dictate your progress. Reach **80% Global Influence** before **Detection** hits 100% to win; otherwise, the world intervenes. Actions like upgrading regions, spreading, or pacifying trigger cascading consequences. The **Tech Tree** and **Countermeasures** add depth, forcing tough trade-offs. Every decision pressures other systems, creating a tense dance between ambition and survival. A masterclass in strategic tension, **AI Protocol** challenges players to outthink both their AI and the world watching. This is a game where.
