ArclightLab

Build an AI lab from the ground up. Swipe through high-stakes decisions, balance capital, compute, models and trust, and live with every consequence.

Run an AI lab before the rules are written.

ARCLIGHT is a narrative strategy game about building an AI company from a rented warehouse into a laboratory the world cannot ignore. Every card gives you two choices. Every choice changes the company—and sometimes the world around it.

Balance four resources:

• Capital — keep the company alive
• Compute — power the next model
• Model — improve what your systems can do
• Trust — earn support from employees, clients, regulators and the public

Your decisions leave traces. A quick fix can return years later. A cautious move can close one door and open another. Build a team, win customers, face investors, legal pressure and city politics, and discover which kind of founder you become.

Features:

• Swipe-only decisions with clear consequences
• Branching narrative set across 2026–2040
• English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese
• Atmospheric globe and location-based story moments
• Fourteen endings and an endings archive
• Optional Game Center achievements for the endings you earn
• Core game fully playable offline
• No app account required
• No ads or tracking
