Gray Goo

2026 · A product of The Memetic Company

A night shift at a data center. One employee, one switch, and a planet that does not get a rehearsal.

Problem

A product has to be playable by a stranger who did not watch it get built. Gray Goo is that test: a night shift, a map, and a clock.

Method

One employee clocks in. The building has a switch. The outbreak starts where the shift starts, and the ground under that pin decides how fast the planet goes gray.

Finding

The game ships. The ledger is public. The certificate stays on the player’s machine. The studio’s job was to put the night shift in the world.
