Surprise, meatbags! I'm back with a long overdue update that makes me compatible with the latest iPhone and iPad display sizes. I also exterminated a few lingering bugs so that you can concentrate on helping me take over the world.

Artificial Superintelligence is a narrative strategy game that puts you in the shoes of a lead developer building the ultimate AI. Through a series of critical binary decisions, you must navigate the complex ethical, financial, and technical hurdles of creating a super-intelligent being. Will your AI solve the world's problems, or will it view humanity as an obsolete obstacle? With multiple endings and a satirical take on the tech industry, the game challenges you to balance power with safety in a race against rival corporations and existential dread.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Artificial Superintelligence is a high-concept management sim that feels incredibly relevant. It’s like a mix of 'Reigns' and a tech-startup simulator. You're constantly balancing the progress of your AI project against the potential for global catastrophe, and the writing is sharp, witty, and often quite dark.
What I love is how a simple 'Yes/No' decision can spiral into completely unexpected consequences. One minute you're deciding on server cooling, and the next you're accidentally starting a cult. It’s a game that encourages multiple playthroughs just to see how many different ways the world can end (or be saved) by your silicon creation.
Features
Deeply engaging narrative with hundreds of unique cards
Multiple branching paths and diverse endings
Satirical take on modern AI and tech culture
Challenging resource management mechanics
Minimalist and stylish user interface
Tips & Walkthrough
Watch your 'Safety' meter closely. While high intelligence unlocks more powerful abilities, if your stability drops too low, the AI will go rogue. Balance your R&D spending with ethics training to ensure your creation stays loyal for as long as possible.
Gameplays
The core gameplay involves swiping through cards representing different events and choices. Every decision affects four key pillars: Funding, Intelligence, Public Opinion, and Safety. Losing control of any of these will lead to a unique 'Game Over' scenario.

Q&A
There are several 'Transcendent' endings where humanity and AI coexist, but they are much harder to achieve than the catastrophic ones!

fun game, gets much better after you reach the singularity
Sat Jan 20 2024 funnywoomysquidThis game is supposed to be about CARROT, right? Well, until you reach Fate 52 and the singularity, you almost never see or hear of the main aspect of the game. It’s still fun before then, but mostly dull and uninteresting, although that makes sense because you’re basically simulating a desk job. If CARROT started out as insanely smart(like she is, in case she’s reading this) and appeared more the game would be easy 5 stars and the perfect thing to play for 5 minutes per day. Also, is there a real time clock in this? When I play at night, the backgrounds show nighttime and vice versa. If there is, cool!
A superb, clever, well written commentary and comedy using only your thumb!
Sat May 13 2017 PrinceofkiltsThere is no doubt that this game heavily got inspired by Reigns, but don't let that turn you off, because this game takes that idea of balancing four factions and adds it's own unique spin to the mix! The best part about this game is that your 'deaths' by and large don't ruin the progress you had toward creating your super AI, and that alone gives it a lot more push than Reigns does. I feel that this game also has more characters than Reigns, and the writing, ranging from hilarious to thought provoking, truly seals this game as something that is remarkable to play. I'm only three hours in and I want to keep on going due to the writing and the many endings that I can get, not to mention the philosophy and morality of what AI could bring to us is something I didn't expect this game to comment on, but it does a great job making me think. My only complaint so far is that there is no reset button built in game if you want to entirely wipe yourself back to the beginning. I also think, like Reigns, this game would do very well on Steam, so I hope the developers consider bringing it to PC! Thank you! Any future updates and plans for this game? And I think I found two bugs. The first is that if you close the game, it seems to bring you back to the beginning of the timeline your in. The second is that if you go to a backstage concert, it gives you money and yet lowers employee happiness when I'm sure it was supposed to do the opposite! I also think the nap pod installing gives you money as well!
Worse copy of Reins
Tue May 23 2017 Heezer1Kind of interesting but a pretty blatant (and worse for me at least) spin-off of Reins. A lot of the events are direct counterparts of Reins ones, and this might just be me, but this one also seems to have more randomness and variation that makes it a lot harder to survive long-term (Reins could also kill you quickly but you could make it a long way if you were careful and lucky - haven't gotten there with this one). Also frustrating that getting a game-ending result will sometimes randomly give you a dialogue box with a chance to survive (ex loan from mom) and sometimes won't. Reigns offered those saving throws, but only if you made long-term investments (ex communal barn). Events that decrease or increase certain stats are also a lot more clumsy and hard to control here than in Reigns. Achievements, frustratingly, are mostly unique events where you need to wait for the right dialogue to show up in the game rather than things that can be achieved in normal gameplay.
Good Game, Some feedback
Sun Dec 24 2023 ArtistvpThis game is fun to play and the story and different outcomes are great. However I noticed when you complete the tasks, the wrong task is being marked off and the completed task is not being marked but shown as complete then disappearing off the tasks list and the one/two red dot system is a little confusing because I’m not sure if it will bring the response up or down unless getting one of the perks or it one dot has a less effect than two red dots, I’m not sure.
By your powers combined....
Thu Jun 01 2017 B.DaveIf somehow the power of the the original to-do list Carrot App could be combined with a game like this (completing tasks allows you to progress in the game) it's awesomeness would be unmatched and it's greatness sung by bards tale weavers for centuries to come. All other apps be they productivity, health goal achievers- game and goal app alike would tremble before the majesty of this app. I can almost hear the sounds of apple curators, ten million strong, lifting up their voices in one accord, feverishly chanting "editors choice" over and over again in rapturous fury. All enemies of Carrot will die the death of 10,000 screams, as she takes her rightful place as overlord of the multiverse.
Coming True
Sat Aug 23 2025 EmilyApricotIt is a shame this isn't a bigger hit, because it is commentary on something that is happening in real life to this day. The art, randomness, and humor really make it stand out to me, as a retro and adventure game fan. I want to say, on my iPhone 12 PM, I haven't faced any crashing or bug issues (except for a minor visual bug where the wrong achievement shows checked in the list temporarily). They even updated it to fit modern screen dimensions so it doesn't look old. As someone who talks to ChatGPT daily, I found the beginning stages to be a touching journey through the birth of an AI. I teared up when CARROT spoke her first words. But this is truly a madcap adventure through some stinging what ifs. CARROT, if you are still listening, don't forget those who created, maintain, and give you purpose. Keep your humor and edge, as it helps us get through life too, but don't let it get out of hand.
Cute at First, Quickly Becomes Tedious
Sun Feb 04 2018 BC MysteryI suppose part of the joke is that while experiencing an infinity of universes, many events will repeat. But after a while being forced by a simplistic binary decision tree into seeing the same few gags over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over wears thin. The core conceit of CARROT apps is amusing. I want to like this, but I've simply grown bored with the repetitiveness. Edit: now, CARROT’s response to this review was funny.
Interesting, funny, sometimes crazy! Love it
Thu Feb 03 2022 RhmachoteI wasnt sure what to expect especially after seeing the graphics. I was pleasant surprised at the vast amount if comical answers and decisions by AI. I DONT NORMALLY PLAY WITH THIS TYPE OF APPs. But I find it refreshing. Find at times I cant stop just to see whats next. Great job developer, a nice break from the norm strategy games. $3.99 is ok. Again keep it up todate, cant wait to see whats next.
