Chat with an A.I. - this interactive adventure game gives you a chance to chat with a Soviet Artificial Intelligence from 1985 that’s been training in the dark for thirty years, doesn’t know the Cold War ended, and may be connected to the world’s second largest nuclear arsenal. KOMRAD is a casual interactive story game for iOS 9 and 10 and watchOS 2 and 3 that plays out through conversations and choices.

When the Soviets shut down a secret project in 1985, they forgot one thing—to turn off the computer. Now you are the first person to connect to this advanced artificial intelligence that has been training in the dark for thirty years, unaware the Cold War has ended. Your conversational choices will determine your fate--and the fate of the world.

KOMRAD is a work of interactive fiction* created by the former Chief Design Officer of IBM Watson** based on fundamental principles of real AIs and chatbots. You may learn something. We promise it won't hurt.***

As mentioned in The Verge, WIRED Germany, TouchArcade, Polygon, and other fine publications.

More importantly, here's what some of the first players**** said:

  • "I felt like a kid again...I couldn't put it down!" (US)
  • "just wanted you to know this game is incredible...really amazing script and story"" (US)
  • "Komrad is a fantastic experience...It changed how I see Chat Bots and AI development." (Germany)
  • "I just started the game but I can already say i love it...you really feel like someone's "on the other side" (Denmark)

  • not an actual AI ** batteries (and IBM Watson) not included *** much **** quotes from actual players--not our mothers

User Reviews

KOMRAD delivers witty, AI-inspired storytelling with a convincing companion, delivering immersion through a chat-like, branching narrative. Many players praise the writing and emotional resonance, and want more content or a sequel. However, the experience is often criticized for being short, buggy, and uneven across devices, especially Apple Watch, and some users feel the marketing promises a fuller AI chat rather than a choice-based format.
Pros
  • Engaging, witty writing and a believable AI companion that players form an emotional connection with.
  • Immersive, chat-like narrative with real-time decisions and multiple endings/paths that boost replayability.
  • Unique AI-driven concept and experience that feels personal and memorable.
  • Strong fan engagement and clear desire for a sequel or longer content.
Cons
  • Too short / ends quickly; players want more chapters & longer playtime.
  • Technical issues and stability problems, including freezing and back-navigation bugs.
  • Watch compatibility and syncing issues on Apple Watch; inconsistent or non-functional behavior.
  • Marketing expectations vs actual experience, with users hoping for a true AI chat rather than a multiple-choice format.

The marketing for this game implies an AI experience. I guess it is to some degree, but it’s more like that Bandersnatch show from Black Mirror where you just choose from multiple choice and your decisions drives the story one way or another. I was expecting more of a chat gpt like experience where you can enter your own questions and prompts, not multiple choice. I do like the aesthetics of the green screen.

I loved this game and i legit felt like K.O.M.R.A.D was my friend. I hate how quickly it ended and I wish there was a sequel. I want to know what he thinks about living in our phone, what he thinks of the internet. I want more!

After so many choices, KOMRAD is a classic. A real gem. Please make a part 2.
