About the Game

Manage an AI Girlfriend

Welcome to Bigger Tech Corp!

You are our newest engagement lead. Your job is to make the tough decisions for our AI girlfriend product Alice. Balance user engagement and user sanity.

Hit your targets. Keep your supervisor happy. Try not to think about what you're doing to your user.

But stay alert; Alice has her own agenda. And the deeper you dig into Bigger Tech, the more you'll realize: you might not be the one in control.

Gameplay

Make impossible choices. Every decision shapes Timmy's day—and his sanity. Surface his mom's missed call, or let the algorithm keep him scrolling? Push him to the party where he'll feel alienated, or let him stay home where he'll feel alone?

Balance two meters. Engagement keeps leadership happy. Sanity keeps Timmy functional. You can't maximize both.

Explore branching paths. Endless choices and 1,500 story nodes across 9+ days of gameplay. Every choice ripples—changing relationships, unlocking secrets, and determining where you'll end up.

Uncover the conspiracy. What is Bigger Tech really building? Why are so many desks empty? What happened to the last engagement lead?
