The Machine Stops

About this game

You have $20,000 and 365 days to build the Machine - a sophisticated AI that humanity can only dream about currently. Allocate resources to avoid bankruptcy, research efficiency upgrades, and help the Machine grow. What kind of role model will you be to the Machine? You are responsible for it all in this fast-paced, challenging game.

Grow. Optimize. Make humanity obsolete?

The Machine Stops

Make everyone obsolete with AI by managing resources on a Matrix-style interface. You have one year to strategize resource allocation, unlock new layers of growth, and keep an accelerating company from collapsing under its own scale.
