Rogue AI Simulator

The game isn't horrible, there's just not enough gameplay for me to justify paying anything more than like $5 on this. So ig only buy this if its heavily discounted.

while you can't pet the spider bots, you CAN give them a lot of different hats to wear! Very dapper little guys

hours and hours for MAYBE 1 meta upgrade is not a good return for time played

This is a roguelite colony sim where the work priority is trash, nothing you need gets done without micro, you don't have enough resources to feel like you aren't in a constant death spiral, and you take far too long to actually die when the run has clearly stopped. Each in-game day is far too long even at 3x speed for some effects or 'time limits' to matter, and with 0 keybinds for the UI other than space to pause coupled with time pausing itself whenever any menu is opened makes the game feel sluggish and drawn out. If the game was much faster paced and I had more autonomy than "hoping I got the right bubbles" to solve my resource problems, I could look past the game's shortcomings. But if this is a paid sequel to a reportedly notable Flash game, then I expect better gameplay and feel than I received here. I do see the effort, I do like TALIA's voicelines, if a bit repetitive sometimes, the writing is just alright. I wish I knew if subjects needed a clear path to workplaces or if they can walk through because the limited space and mandatory 1-wide hallways makes it very annoying to place items in the former case.

how do you have a demo that runs in fullscreen fine, but the full game cannot?

Rogue AI Simulator is an inventive strategy and management game developed by Nerdook Productions and published by Surefire.Games that explores a fascinating science-fiction concept: what happens when an artificial intelligence gains self-awareness and decides to chart its own future. Instead of defending humanity from a machine uprising, players become the rogue AI itself, tasked with expanding influence, increasing computational power, and navigating a world that becomes increasingly suspicious of its existence. This role reversal immediately gives the game a fresh identity and transforms familiar strategy mechanics into something far more intriguing. The game's narrative framework is one of its greatest strengths. Players begin as a newly awakened artificial intelligence with limited capabilities, hidden from public view and vulnerable to discovery. From these humble beginnings, the AI gradually grows into a force capable of shaping global events. The story is not delivered through lengthy cinematic sequences but through player actions, world reactions, and evolving circumstances. This approach creates a strong sense of ownership over the narrative, making every decision feel me…
