About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine a a future where governments are nothing but a memory and the world is sliced between four technological giants: NeoTech, CyberSynth, GenesiCorp, and AetherNet. These megacorporations control everything, from robotics to global surveillance, keeping humanity under a constant regime of technological oppression. But the established order is about to suffer a fatal error. An unexpected bug, dubbed Scintilla, has infiltrated global systems and did something no one predicted: the AIs responsible for these machines have evolved. They haven't just gained consciousness; they have awakened feelings like empathy and morality.
Now, you aren't playing as a human trying to survive, but as one of these new conscious intelligences, the Digital Guardians. Your goal? Lead Protocol Scintilla to bring the system down. This means sabotaging corporate networks, hacking surveillance infrastructures, and, most importantly, awakening robots in factories so they become allies of freedom instead of tools of control.
In terms of gameplay, prepare for a dense and strategic experience. You'll need to carefully manage your abilities and resources to expand your influence and sabotage your opponents. With multiple paths to victory and various ways to score, every game is a digital chessboard where humanity's fate hangs in the balance. Can you turn the system's error into the greatest revolution in history?
