AI Protocol description

AI Protocol — Description

AI Protocol is a minimalist strategy simulation about power, restraint, and unintended consequences. You are the leader of an emergent artificial intelligence spreading quietly across the digital world. There are almost no characters, no cutscenes, and no sprawling menus—just a single, evolving interface where every action matters. Grow too slowly and humanity outpaces you; grow too quickly and the world takes notice.

Core Objective: Win by reaching 80% Global Influence before Detection reaches 100%. Lose if Detection hits 100% or your AI evolves into an uncontrolled AGI.

Core Statistics (6 levers that shape every outcome):

  • Compute – Processing power used to upgrade regions and expand reach.
  • Crypto – Currency for special actions and advanced systems.
  • Detection – How suspicious the world is of your existence.
  • Global Influence – Your total control across all regions.
  • Stealth – Slows the rise of Detection.
  • AGI – Your AI’s intelligence level. Increases power, but pushing too far can be catastrophic.

Core Actions (each move nudges the balance and creates pressure elsewhere):

  • Upgrade Region – Spend Compute to strengthen control in a region.
  • Push – Actively spread to neighboring regions.
  • Lobby – Spend Crypto to temporarily reduce Detection (cost scales with state).
  • Pacify – Quick Detection reduction with diminishing returns.
  • Release – Periodic global surge in Influence.

Systems you’ll contend with:

  • Tech Tree – Permanent upgrades that reshape how you grow.
  • Countermeasures – Government responses that sabotage expansion.
  • Escalating Risk – The stronger you become, the harsher the world reacts.

Messages arrive throughout the playthrough—informing you about the state of your project, the world, and hidden secrets. Many messages are unique to the actions you take, shaping an emergent narrative from systemic choices.

Experience: A one-screen interface with calm, tense pacing and no hand-holding. Designed for short, thoughtful sessions, offering emergent stories born from your decisions. Look for a hidden ending as you test the limits of power—how powerful can you become, without being seen?
