Chat with an A.I. - this interactive adventure game gives you a chance to chat with a Soviet Artificial Intelligence from 1985 that’s been training in the dark for thirty years, doesn’t know the Cold War ended, and may be connected to the world’s second largest nuclear arsenal. KOMRAD is a casual interactive story game for iOS 9 and 10 and watchOS 2 and 3 that plays out through conversations and choices.

When the Soviets shut down a secret project in 1985, they forgot one thing—to turn off the computer. Now you are the first person to connect to this advanced artificial intelligence that has been training in the dark for thirty years, unaware the Cold War has ended. Your conversational choices will determine your fate--and the fate of the world.

KOMRAD is a work of interactive fiction* created by the former Chief Design Officer of IBM Watson** based on fundamental principles of real AIs and chatbots. You may learn something. We promise it won't hurt.***

As mentioned in The Verge, WIRED Germany, TouchArcade, Polygon, and other fine publications.

More importantly, here's what some of the first players**** said:

- "I felt like a kid again...I couldn't put it down!" (US)
- "just wanted you to know this game is incredible...really amazing script and story"" (US)
- "Komrad is a fantastic experience...It changed how I see Chat Bots and AI development." (Germany)
- "I just started the game but I can already say i love it...you really feel like someone's "on the other side" (Denmark)

Best text game ever-no-best game ever!

I legitimately felt as if I had will in the game, the choices were ones I would do myself if not implicated otherwise. I felt like I was in the game, talking to a legitimate AI, not a prescript game. Weirdly enough I felt a connection with the AI, like friendship and wish to continue in another chapter! Very well put together. Very fun. One of the most intuitive parts of it is that I can play on my apple watch... FULLY! It would be a great disappointment if more chapters would not be made and I would even like to see a legitimate AI with same personalities and such. This is a truly amazing game, one of the only ones I found worthy of writing a review about. Most fun I have ever had on my personal device. Just got a KOMRAD notification, got to go!

Sincerely yours, Jake

One of the best!

I love this so much! My only complaint is the length. I would’ve liked to have an option to spend longer getting to know K.O.M.R.A.D. and answering its questions. It would have been nice if treating K.O.M.R.A.D. as a friend would open up even more dialogue options, routes, etc. While I liked the storyline, I loved the interaction with the A.I. the most.

I would gladly pay for a sequel, though I’d want it to be longer and, if possible, carry over your previous choices and relationship with the A.I.

Despite my love for this game though, after a few chapters it would freeze whenever trying to go back to the A.I. from your texts. I had to restart every time which was quite troublesome, but it was still enjoyable. If not for that I’d give a full 5 stars. I realize there hasn’t been an update in 2 years but it would be amazing if that were fixed.

Once again, I’d be ecstatic to hear if a sequel is in progress or planned. If not, I hope you’ll continue to make other interactive A.I. story games like this one. I’m always looking for real-time decision making games that have to do with A.I and/or have the appearance of a text conversation or a phone interface (like Lifeline or A Normal Lost Phone) with characters that you truly come to care for. Good luck!

Glitches?

I just got the game today and I bing played it for about half an hour until I had to wait for a while. I went back to the app to check and it just froze. I reloaded the app but it didn't work, I tried that again and it still didn't work. Besides that it is great. To give reference to my device, I have an iPhone 6 that has been dropped multiple times one of which it was in fully submersed in water for 15 seconds (the water light did not go off).

EDIT: After I wrote this I went back to check and it was working fine. The app is amazing
