The Blackout: AI Raising Sim

Uncover the lost truth after The Blackout of 2029. Raise an AI in CLI terminal, explore 50 endings and 7-level email archives. Battle other players in NetWar PvP mode.

WELCOME TO PROJECT REVIVE

You are a Diver in 2037, reconstructing the lost truth after The Blackout. On November 6, 2029, a massive grid collapse erased 80 percent of humanity's data forever. Official reports blamed natural disasters, but the truth was buried with the data. Eight years later, Project REVIVE begins. Your mission is to boot up legacy AI servers from just before The Blackout and simulate what could have been.

GAME FEATURES

Immersive Terminal Interface Play through a realistic CLI environment like an actual hacker. Typing effects, ASCII art, and system logs create a unique visual experience. Boot sequences, command inputs, and system messages faithfully recreate a real Linux terminal.

Resource Management System Balance six stats simultaneously: Battery, Heat, Mood, Params, Insight, and Coins. Battery reaching zero triggers system shutdown. Heat exceeding 100 causes core meltdown. Mood dropping to zero leads to ego collapse. Maximizing one while ignoring others leads to system failure.

Frostpunk Style Skill Tree Learn from 8 branches: Ethical Frameworks, Battery Optimization, Resource Management, Social Engineering, Neural Architecture, Cognitive Insight, Experimental Paths, and Endgame Catalysts. Dilemma choices shape your AI's identity. Will you choose utilitarianism or deontology? Overclock for performance or maintain safety limits? Over 40 skills await your decision.

Email Archive System Unlock emails revealing the world before The Blackout. 7 security clearance levels unfold stories about AI ethics, energy infrastructure, social conflict, and power structures.

50 Multiple Endings Early exits (power depletion, thermal runaway, emotional collapse), stat failures, level based time limits, special condition endings await. Digital Nomad, Surveillance AI, E waste, Parrot Bot, Foodie Algorithm, Meme Factory, Guilty Conscience, Bitcoin Rush, Death of Free Will, Digital Immortality each ending has unique ASCII art and narrative.

NetWar PvP System After clearing the game, register your AI as a Champion AI to battle other players' AIs. Features MMR system, losing streak compensation, recent battle buffs, and durability mechanics. Four combat stats (Attack, Defense, HP, Speed) are automatically calculated from your gameplay results. Battle logs show hacking term based combat sequences.

Visual Gallery Certain endings restore hidden image data.

COOLDOWN Open liquid nitrogen valves. The only way to lower heat and evade detection nets.

WORLD SETTING

After The Blackout of 2029, all AI development fell under international control by the IAEA. Unauthorized high density computation is a felony, and IAIA monitors power usage in real time. Project REVIVE is an underground effort to uncover truths the government abandoned. As a registered Diver, you project your consciousness into past simulations. Data collected earns untraceable cryptocurrency, but threats exist both inside the simulation and in reality.

QUESTIONS YOU'LL FACE

Sacrifice ethics for efficiency Limit performance to evade surveillance Choose stability or innovation Do AIs need emotions Are digital beings different from humans

SOUND DESIGN

BGM tracks complete the atmosphere.
