About the Game

You start in a garage, nearly broke, and set out to build the last invention humanity will ever need.

The Last Invention is an incremental game about the race to build AGI — a machine that can think like us, and then past us. It's an affectionate, dryly funny satire of the industry chasing that dream, and of the quiet dread humming underneath the hype.

The world you're in

You're a lone founder in the middle of the AI race. All around you: tech giants sprinting for the same prize, investors with opinions, hype cycles and hit pieces, defense contracts, lawsuits, leaks, and a public that worships and fears what you're building in the same breath. You'll claw your way up from a garage to a frontier lab — and the bigger you get, the heavier every decision lands.

The weight of it

This isn't only a numbers-go-up game. The thing you're building could decide the fate of everyone, and it never lets you forget it. Expect real moral choices, consequences that arrive late and cost more than you bargained for, and endings that are earned rather than won — a spread of very different ways your story can close, depending on how far you were willing to go.
