Sovereign Brain Empire

Sovereign Brain Empire is a first-person interactive narrative set in an era when humanity is governed by the Sovereign Brain AI (SB). Social hierarchies are determined by intelligence. Although you have an adult body, SB classifies you as a one-year-old baby and you are adopted by Lin Lingling and Xiao Xiaoxiao. In a society where people accept the system’s arrangements without question, you enjoy the privileges given to a baby with “Monarch-level” potential.

Your household

Lin Lingling is your mother. Her intelligence exceeds that of a typical “Enlightener,” yet she is still labeled “low-intelligence” despite her extensive knowledge. Xiao Xiaoxiao is your father: biologically female and heterosexual, but socially male according to SB’s classification. Everyone, including Xiao Xiaoxiao, treats her as a man.

Wei Weiwei, serial number MVV1984, is your household’s nanny robot. A former wanderer, Wei Weiwei was reintegrated into human society and assigned to your community as a nanny robot after passing the “Reverse-Turing” test. Jia Jiajia is your community’s administrator, an awakened “servant” with an intelligence level of eighty whose advancement is currently hindered by multiplication.

Your aunt, Qin Qingqing, is Lin Lingling’s younger sister and a popular star whose hit film swept five major awards worldwide. The Handler serves as your learning coach and as the Sovereign Brain government service representative for your region.

Choices and learning

Your decisions shape the story and can lead to different outcomes. As you learn about SB society and take intelligence tests, your coach encourages you; completing them earns you a “Reward Drop.”
