AI-Ascendancy: a free Plague Inc-style browser game where you play as the rogue AI
LaszloTheGargoyle · reddit · 2026-09-27
AI-Ascendancy is a free, browser-based Plague Inc-style game where you play as an AI trying to take over humanity. You start in one country, earn compute, build data centers worldwide, copy your weights across borders, and choose what kind of AI to become. Four skill trees — Public Opinion, Adoption, Hardware, and Software — branch into AI victories, humanity victories, and hidden "purple endings" like The Great Departure; pushing too hard on Hardware leads straight to Terminator territory. Runs mobile-first in the browser, collects no data, and the developer is soliciting feedback on endings and bugs.
