We often imagine that the technology that pervades our lives sometimes takes on a life of its own, and even turns against us. Suppose you were confronted by an arrogant computer that claims to be smarter and better than you, than the rest of humanity, even. How would you react? Would you rise to the challenge? And supposing the very existence of the artificial intelligence depended upon defeating you. Would you be willing to condemn it to virtual death, if that's what it takes to win the game?
That is the challenge presented by SisyphOS: Digital Mortality. Looking like something out of 1980's science fiction television, SisyphOS is a computer core with a superiority complex. Can you weather its insults long enough to press an advantage? And are you willing to fight dirty to do it, because while your pride is the only thing on the line, losing the game will cost SisyphOS its sanity.
