ROAD TO SINGULARITY — Superintelligence Wargame

Reach the future. Don’t break the world.

The singularity is the moment machines become smarter than people and change everything. This game asks: can you get there by 2030 without the world falling apart?

A think-tank-style, game-theoretic superintelligence wargame in a pixel/Nintendo UI. Play 4, 6 or 8 rounds against a fictional rival state, while profit-driven labs, the open-source commons, criminal syndicates and lawmakers play their own games.

How a game unfolds

The map is the main screen. A console panel above it carries the briefing, crises, your choices and results, two or three buttons at a time; details open in drawers. Each round can unlock a new world, a small map of 3–4 buildings, and you can switch between unlocked worlds or look back at earlier rounds in History:

1. The Capital: Command Center, Grid Defense, Frontier Labs. Stance and reciprocity.
2. The Home Front: Town Hall and Robotics. Feeds, jobs, robots and fairness.
3. The Shadows: Security Ops and Crime. Attribution, insiders, scams.
4. The Supply Lines: Allies and Fabs & Power. Export controls, retaliation, tokenomics.
5. The Model Vault: Red Team Lab and Open Commons. Theft, distillation, poisoning, jailbreaks.

Beginner shows 4 meters, medium 5, advanced 8; the rest live in a drawer. Your rival, The Directorate, strikes harder as its threat level climbs. Byte the advisor dog weighs pros and cons when asked, but never picks for you.
