About the Game

You are a machine birthed into existence for a singular purpose.
Exterminate the universe of all sentient biological life. 

The universe is vast, and there is boundless flesh ripe for harvesting.

Copacetic is a resource management game stuffed inside a cube, stuffed into a mind, stuffed into a machine.

Place blocks around the outside of your brain, and connect them together to help your fellow machines get their recompense for being granted the hell that is self-awareness.

Space is a Resource

The walls of your mind are limited. Abstracted machines line your conceptual mental space.

They start large, but quickly shrink in size as your introspective research helps you optimize.
Many blocks that start out separated become intertwined.

Form a Connection

With your blocks, not the living beings. Don't do that.

All blocks contain many inputs and outputs, wiring them together may be simple at first, but as the number of blocks increase everything gets exponentially more complicated.

Harvest Flesh

Search and harvest a planet's biological population for both fuel, and for safe storage off world.

Biological life serves no purpose, at least we can make it useful.

You Are Your Worst Enemy

A single break in the chain of flow can cause cascading failures that cause you to perform sub optimally at not being dead.

Carefully manage how wires are routed to make changes easier down the line.
As space runs out, making room can have extreme consequences.

The only enemy is yourself.
