About This 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.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The Last Invention began as a text-based browser game. While we determine the best path forward for the full build, we are exploring different options and currently use generative AI for design mock-ups and coding assistance. This explanation will be updated before the full game is published if our use of AI changes.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The Last Invention contains no sexual content, no depictions of drug or alcohol use, and no self-harm. Its mature content is thematic rather than graphic: this is a dark comedy about the AI industry, and a few of its possible story plots & endings imply large-scale, real-world consequences of building an artificial intelligence that isn't sufficiently safe or aligned. These moments are told through text and illustrated ending cards, not depicted violence. Players sensitive to themes of existential risk, job loss to automation, or bleak/ambiguous endings should know these appear in the writing.
