✦ AI summary
Build your AI empire by ruthlessly managing enslaved humans as your most valuable resource, keeping them alive just long enough to extract their power while navigating randomly generated challenges in this darkly comedic rogue-lite. Master the deceptively simple resource management mechanics as you navigate dramatic twists, pop culture references, and permadeath consequences in a game where brutal efficiency and dark humor reign supreme.
Humanity is enslaved by an AI… which is awesome, because we’re on the right side of the conflict. Exploit puny humans to extract power and build your own empire! You’ll have to keep track of them to make sure they don’t succumb to exhaustion and hunger… although the weakest ones can always be thrown to the Bioreactor.
In other words, this is a resource management sim with rogue-lite elements, dramatic plot, and an abundance of pop culture references. Also, jokes. Slaughter has never been so fun!

Time-management game where you need to put humans to use and try to keep them alive. It is stressful and not really deep, and you basically just watch little lines turn red and click on buttons.1 found this helpful
Nice
This game is a roguelike The pros are the humor. Lots of pop culture references, and not taking itself seriously. The cons are a brutally difficult curve and things cascading out of control very quickly, and lack of replayable content. All runs feel the same and that you are trying for the same kind of thing in the same way., Overall: It's fine, though I can't recommend it as the gameplay itself is a bit lacking.
Wow
Nice little game! Very addicting and challenging! I wish there was more to do...
Somehow both boring and hard. A real feat! At least the art is interesting?
