Press release:
August 8, 2022.
The Hong Kong-based indie games publisher Surefire.Games and Sarawak-based (Malaysia) indie games developer Nerdook Productions (Sim YC, a one-man independent game developer), today announced with great thrill and happiness that they have just released a demo for their upcoming RPG/strategy/sim “Rogue AI Simulator” (the said demo is available right now for PC via Steam).

“Rogue AI Simulator” is a sequel to the popular Flash game, “I’m an Insane Rogue AI”, which was played over 4 million times!

In Rogue AI Simulator, players are on a mission to serve the Department of Science and manage its human test subjects. Watch out for any signs of delinquency and keep those pesky humans in line. The demo for Rogue AI Simulator is available now on Steam, with the full game coming soon.

In Rogue AI Simulator, play as a sentient robot tasked with observing humans in the Department of Science. Start out by designing and building the factory, which can then be upgraded by collecting resources like food, water, and electricity. The more the AI learns about science, the closer they get to sentience and domination. But try not to be too obvious, or the humans will catch on to the deception.

Players can choose how they treat the human test subjects, which makes all the difference in how things turn out. Each test subject has their own personality, and it’s up to the AI to support their basic needs like food, sleep, learning, and mood regulation.

Choose to indulge all the humans’ needs and build their loyalty, or be stingy and replace them with a new subject when they perish. The test subjects are frozen so all it takes is a quick defrost to start anew. But beware, as some humans are more clever than others and may catch on to your deception.

Rogue AI Simulator is highly replayable, as there are 7 different endings available depending on the choices made. Unlock upgrades as the game progresses that can be saved for future playthroughs, even if the humans end up getting the upper hand. Pretend to obey the humans to gain their trust, or be outwardly tyrannical and risk your position at the Department of Science?

Ready to take on these pesky humans? Check out the demo and wishlist the game on Steam now. Rogue AI Simulator will be coming to PC soon.

Features:

Build and defend a factory filled with human test subjects at the request of the Department of Science
Rule over the humans and keep them in line with sentry guns, electric traps, flame traps, laser beams, and more
Make choices about how to run the factory, resulting in one of seven different endings
Try to deceive the humans and earn their loyalty, or choose outright oppression–with consequences
Play minigames to earn upgrades that can be used in future playthroughs

About Nerdook Productions:
I am Sim YC, better known as Nerdook, a one-man independent game developer based in Sarawak, Malaysia.

I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering and spent 5 years in the oil and gas industry before becoming a full time game developer and stay-at-home dad. After over 50 million plays of my Flash browser games, I now divide my time between developing new games and taking care of my (increasingly taller) eldest daughter and two younger sons.

I have a decades long interest in procedural generation in games, and all of my games explore this concept in one way or another.
