A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

This is a game where you are working as the overseer for an AI's environment improvement scheme (Protocol Bloom). You make a series of choices to combat arising environmental issues, choosing from a selection of solutions given to you by the AI.

No matter what you do it always seems like the choices you make negatively impact your surroundings, despite the AI always affirming your decisions. Strange !!!

This game is our submission to Climax Game Jam '26.

Theme: Dichotomy 

The Game focuses on the dichotomy of how you think your doing the right thing but end up negatively impacting everything. Thinking AI is the solution when it is actually the problem.

Note from Hyjaxaru:

  • For windows, you should download the windows version (shocking). However, if you own a copilot+ laptop, run Windows on ARM, or use parallels on a MacBook, download the Windows [ARM] version.
  • The macOS build may or may not be notarised, apple won't tell me. If you run into problems, make sure to check System Settings > Privacy & Security and allow it to run.
