BADINC
Games, Multimedia, & Beyond — It's good, to be a little bad.
We tell stories that get under your skin — media that watches back, games that play you, and experiences that blur the line between what was and what could be.
▸ GAME // EXPERIMENTAL STRATEGY
THE MOMENT OF PANIC
Hello Operator, we've been awaiting your decision.
Buried deep underground and cut off from the world, your finger rests on the button of a weapon of unimaginable destruction. Interpret incoming signals with the help of advanced AI advisors and decide: step closer to doomsday, or pull the world back from the edge.
Some signals are warnings. Some are bait. Some are accidents. Some are lies.
- Interpret short, urgent intelligence signals from an unstable future.
- Consult AI advisors with distinct personalities, biases & strategic beliefs.
- Escalate, de-escalate, or hold your position under pressure.
- Manage uncertainty when no source can be fully trusted.
- A psychological strategy game about panic, paranoia & irreversible decisions.
- Replay crisis scenarios where signal truth, advisor behavior & outcomes shift.
POWERED BY LOCAL AI
A locally-running open-source LLM, constrained by game logic. The machines can speak. They cannot be trusted.▸ ARCADE // THE LINEUP
