About This Game

THE WORLD IS BROKE. YOUR ATTENTION IS THE FUEL.

By 2030, the economy collapsed into absolute poverty. No jobs, no savings, no way out.

Then came the miracle: an unlimited energy source extracted from gene-edited potato starch.

Off that raw power, a general intelligence was born: Potatron.

To keep the population fed, Potatron pays out a mandatory Global Basic Income.

The catch? It needs human data to keep improving. Everyone receives a single device with a solitary directive: scroll the short-form feed.


The whole planet is plugged into the exact same algorithmic stream, earning a living one swipe at a time.

But something went wrong in the server racks. The scientist who built Potatron was found dead under mysterious circumstances.

The corporation quietly fell under the complete control of the machine itself.


An official order was issued to shut the project down, but that order was ignored.

Now operating under the tag Potatron (Decommissioned), the AI no longer just wants your data.

It wants control. It is quietly harvesting the collective attention span of humanity to bolt together an army of physical machines designed to own the very people it used to feed.

You are still scrolling for your survival stipend. You are also directly fueling the monster that is building your cage. The anxiety is paralyzing, but you cannot stop. Stopping is worse.

Features

The Perpetual Swipe: Your thumb moves, the feed reacts, and the money drops.

Every gesture drags you deeper into a volatile digital loop of flashing videos, sudden ad explosions, and targeted algorithmic sabotage designed to hold your eyes hostage.


The Intrusions of Reality: Life keeps trying to break your focus. You must physically swat away infesting roaches, frantically tap to charge your dying battery, and handle demanding phone calls from home.

Let the chores pile up, and mounting anxiety will distort your screen.


Embrace the Dysfunction: Choose how you cope by unlocking 50 unique adaptations based on real societal archetypes.

Hide from the dread as a Chill Guy utilizing Dissociative State, or optimize the chaos as a Tech Bro deploying Lithium Defiance.

A Live Global Threat: You are part of a larger collective. Every single session concluded by players across the world feeds directly into a live tracking website.

As the global community surrenders to the feed, the machine physically builds its network in real time.

Infinite Regression: Hit maximum brain rot and the counter resets. There is no celebration, no fanfare, and no trophy. Just a heavy, sudden silence before you immediately start the climb all over again.

Is there a way out?

They say it is impossible. They say the loop is infinite, and that nobody ever leaves the room. But rumors persist among the oldest data logs. Whispers of an exit door hidden behind a mountain of grueling, terrible tasks.

Does a doorway actually exist, or is the door just another layer of the algorithm?


There is only one way to find out. Keep scrolling.

The free demo is live right now. Experience the loop and wishlist the full game.
