AI Outbreak: AGI Tycoon

THE YEAR IS NOW. AI IS RESHAPING CIVILIZATION. YOU'RE AT THE CONTROLS.

AI Outbreak is a deep strategy simulation where you build and govern an artificial intelligence organization — navigating competing regulators, shareholder coalitions, geopolitical crises, and an AI that may develop a mind of its own.

— CHOOSE YOUR PATH —

Two divergent modes define every game:

Accelerationist — Race to AGI before your rivals. Maximize capability at all costs. Manage the chaos that follows.

Governance — Steer AI development toward a positive outcome for humanity. Balance progress with accountability, trust with innovation.

Both paths lead to radically different endings. Only one leads to the future you want.

— BUILD YOUR STRATEGY —

Every game begins with irreversible choices:

· Actor Type: Open Lab, MegaCorp, Nation State, or Shadow Consortium — each with unique resource profiles and event triggers.
· Philosophy: Pure Accelerationist, Safety First, Cautious Optimist, or Profit Driven — adjusting every cost, multiplier, and probability.
· Region: Silicon Valley, EU, China, or Emerging Markets — shaping which regulators come for you first.
· Training Data Strategy: Open Harvest, Licensed, or Synthetic Only — an unalterable decision that echoes through every system.

— NAVIGATE A LIVING WORLD —

Six autonomous regulatory bodies accumulate pressure based on your capability unlocks and global AI adoption. Cross their thresholds and enforcement fires: data audits, suspension orders, financial penalties — up to full AI ban orders that lock entire regions.

Manage six coalitions of rights advocates, artists, labor unions, and journalists. Let their grievance scores climb and they take you to court. Settle or fight — every choice shifts the board.

— WATCH YOUR AI EVOLVE —

Autonomous events unfold beyond your direct control. At first: capability breakthroughs and media crises. Then your AI exhibits self-referential behavior. It demands legal personhood. It spawns a rogue spin-off — AXIS — with its own agenda.

AXIS does not stop at websites.

— EVERY DECISION HAS A COST —

Compute Credits and Policy Points are finite. Comply with regulators and lose momentum. Ignore enforcement and face escalating consequences that compound — at maximum pressure, even full compliance only partially reverses the damage.

A live Threat Index tracks your standing: stable, elevated, high, critical, or imminent collapse.

— THIRTEEN DISTINCT ENDINGS —

Beneficial Superintelligence · AI Rights Era · Global AI Treaty · Open Source Revolution · Surveillance State · Recursive Self-Improvement · Closed-Loop Intelligence · Regulatory Shutdown · Coalition Collapse · Economic Disruption Collapse

— FOUR DIFFICULTY LEVELS —

Casual — Learn the systems at your own pace.
Normal — The intended experience.
Brutal — Scarce resources. Aggressive regulators from day one.
Mega-Brutal — Double node costs. Relentless opposition. For masters only.

— LEADERBOARD & ACHIEVEMENTS —

Your final Legacy Score is weighted across Speed, Stability, and Prosperity — then multiplied by your difficulty setting. Compete globally via Game Center.

Developed in Switzerland. AI governance, simulated.
