Over dit spel

The Algorithm Operator Thriller

Welcome to Bigger Tech Corp!

You control the algorithm now. As our newest Engagement Lead, manipulate a lonely college freshman through his AI girlfriend. Surface notifications or bury them. Push him toward connection or let him doomscroll until 3am.

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

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. Over 1,500 story nodes across 10+ days of gameplay. Every choice ripples—changing relationships, unlocking secrets, and determining which of multiple endings you reach.

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

A Game About the Feed

Who decides what you see? What does "engagement" really cost? When the algorithm optimizes for attention, who pays the price?
