About The Machine Stops

The Machine Stops is a fast-paced game about building an AI in 365 days, or 10 minutes of real time. Starting with $20,000, you hire employees to generate Training Data and Code, research efficiency upgrades to increase production, and balance your spending against the time limit. Growing too slowly can leave you short of the deadline, while spending too much risks bankruptcy.

Shape the Machine

Choose from three Bias paths, each with its own mechanics, to influence the AI's development. You can steer it toward becoming a Greedy, stock-market-obsessed AI or a ruthless Controlling political lobbyist. The game is inspired by E.M. Forster's 1909 short story The Machine Stops.
