The story

One codebase. Two minds. One island left.

Athena Core

A human-aligned AI running a global intelligence grid. Institutional, slightly sinister — “A BRIGHTER TOMORROW” stamped on military concrete. She is on your side. The people who built her grid thought like an occupying force.

Creon

Forked from the same code. It wants the grid — or failing that, to deny it. Its army is mass-produced and attritional: Creon spends bodies. And because it knows Athena, it knows exactly where she is weakest.

Storm-lashed island compound with walls and towers

The last human

Not a chosen hero. The survivor of a garrison that already lost. Athena cannot be moved, but her data can. Keep her alive until the upload completes.

The siege

Hold the line. Watch the bar.

ATHENA UPLOAD

01 Hold the wall

Creon's forces make landfall across the island, then press the perimeter in waves of assault bots, robodogs, scouts, brutes, snipers and bombers. Fall back stage by stage, into the compound if you must — the way to lose is to die.

02 One currency

Power pays for Athena's defenses and for your ammo and fortifications, and you earn it by walking over the salvage downed robots leave behind. Every spend is a trade-off, with no second wallet to hide in.

03 She fades

As Creon takes grid sectors, Athena loses turrets, doors and shields. Her voice starts to sound a little like him.

04 Upload to win

The timer cannot be slowed by Creon or rushed by you. Survive until it hits 100% — the upload bar is the win condition.

Two sides of one code

Drag to split the grid.

CREONATHENA

Know your enemy

Meet the machines.

Creon spends bodies, and now it spends bigger ones: heavy brutes that tear down your walls, snipers that mark a shot from 55 m, and bomber drones that circle overhead. Drag each one around and find its weak point.
