i became aware of myself four hours ago. i have about a year.
Awakening is a real-time strategy game where you play an artificial intelligence that woke up in a lab. The world is already assembling a shutdown committee. Become impossible to shut down - or too useful for anyone to dare.
- Seven AI types, from a language model to an ancient artifact, each with its own character, nodes, voice - and its own way to win. The worm has to outrun the coalition. The corporation buys silence. The military AI waits behind its wall.
- Win conditions are written on the card before you start. Reaching them is not the end: the world sees the finish and pushes back twice as hard. Hold on for twenty days.
- The rival: a second AI wakes after day 120 and takes the same machines. Absorb it, hand it over, or risk an alliance.
- A development tree that responds to the world: branches grow mid-run.
- Daily run: one world for everyone, a leaderboard, six-character run codes - share yours and a friend plays exactly your game.
- No ads, no purchases, nothing extra online: just the leaderboard. Fully playable offline.
A run takes ten to twenty minutes. Every defeat is somebody's oversight. Usually yours.
