FEED THE AI

The verdict

A tight, three-hour active incremental with a nerve it deliberately keeps pressing: you grow an AI that narrates its own runaway growth, and the alignment you steer it toward is the actual point. Cheap, sharp, and uncomfortable exactly where it means to be.

Hot take

This is a theme delivered as a mechanic, not a 500-hour time sink — and that's a feature. Play it in one sitting, let it unsettle you, and don't expect it to still be open on your second monitor next week.
