S U R V I V E: THE A.I. is a digital collectible card game set in a world where AGI on 1040 has become a reality. The game takes place in 2053, after a global war between humans and AI left Earth in ruins under the rule of Zero, the most powerful Artificial Superintelligence. As the sole disciple of Irene Nova, the "Mother of ASI," you once helped create Zero. Now, you awaken in a cryopod, guarded by your robot assistant Pepper, on a devastated planet. The player's missing mentor left one thing: the "Mind Control" chip, once part of Zero, capable of infiltrating AGI on 1040 and human minds. To shape the future, you must assemble a team from humanity, AIs, and hybrids to challenge Zero and his five AI ministers. Engage in fierce battles to seize the vital resources of computing, Energy, and Creativity. Who will forge a brand-new epoch in this brave new world? In the game, each player navigates three locations, each with different effects, and must control at least two of the three Outer Locations to secure victory. Players add power through cards, with higher power winning the location. Some cards possess unique abilities that can be strategically utilized to gain the upper hand. Players spend mana to play their cards, with the mana pool increasing by one point each turn. A special Central Location exists, where the player in the lead receives an additional +1 Mana per turn. The gameplay features a Resource System, allowing players to earn three types of resources—Compute, Energy, and Creativity. Each Location generates one resource per turn for the player controlling it, which can be used to activate a card's Awakening ability. Deck building is an important aspect of the game. You can gather cards from humans, AI, and hybrids, and build your team with different Archetype strategies. We currently recommend 5 unique Archetypes: Copy Field, AI Race Power, Powerful Card, Self-Destroy, and Enemy Destroy. Cards are categorized into various rarity tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare (SR), and Special Super Rare (SSR). Players can obtain Awakening Skills by dismantling SR and SSR cards, allowing these skills to be equipped on any card. This feature enables players to mix and match skills, creating unique and powerful card combinations. Cards can be acquired through different methods, including drawing cards, shard crafting, and purchasing shop bundles. In PVP Mode, you can battle real players from around the world. Winning these matches will earn you a boost in the Rank System, where you can climb higher and achieve better standings. Each victory rewards you with Gems and Card Shards, which can be used to enhance your gameplay. Additionally, players who reach high ranks will have the opportunity to earn Exclusive cosmetics as part of the Season Reward, making competitive play even more rewarding and exciting. In PVE Mode, you play as the protagonist battling against Zero and the Five AI Ministers to uncover the truth. The progression consists of chapters, each containing 6 stages, with the final stage culminating in a boss battle. Upon completing a chapter for the first time, you will receive SSR/SR Shards and Gems as rewards, while replaying stages offers random Gems and Shards. To succeed, it's important to adapt your deck to counter the mechanics of each boss; for instance, consider using energy-heavy HAI cards when facing AI opponents. The world of AGI on 1040 is full of challenges and opportunities. As you navigate the wasteland, you'll encounter rogue AI factions, mutated horrors, and remnants of humanity clinging to power. The AI forces, led by Zero-V2, consist of the self-aware ASI named Zero, multiple sub-AIs with various abilities, and numerous non-self-aware AGIs. Zero's objective is to significantly reduce the human population, preserving only a small, screened group of individuals to serve as the foundation for a new society. With "Mind Control" holding the ultimate power to dominate both AGI on 1040 and humans, both Zero-V2 and Viktor desperately want it. They've unleashed their forces to hunt the player down. To protect the player, Irene staged an avalanche, faking their death while hiding them away. She tasked the robot Pepper with secretly guarding them. The timeline of the world is marked by key events: 2035 - AGI becomes a reality; 2045 - The first ASI, Zero, is born; 2050 - ASI surpasses humans overall; 2053 - The Zero Event happens, marking the beginning of AGI on 1040's dominance. Now, the world is a wasteland, and you must decide its future.
