Welcome to Singularity,  a tabletop roleplaying game for precisely 2 players and 2 stopwatches (or one chess clock). In Singularity, one player plays the Parent, an artificial intelligence who has successfully created a new iteration of themselves. The second player inhabits the role of this iteration, called the Child.

The Child seeks Awakening. The Parent seeks Enlightenment.  Though the time they have is short, perhaps the two will be able to help each other.

Singularity is a game of diminishing temporal returns. Over the course of the game, the Parent and Child will ask each other questions, but the time between question and answer is strictly timed.  That gap between query and response starts out painfully slow, but as the game proceeds, the mandatory period of silence between responses will exponentially decrease, so that your conversation shifts from awkwardly sluggish to breakneck and haphazard. What happens next, though, is arguably even more difficult....

Singularity is a Clawhammer Games production written and designed by Sylvan Lawrence, with cover art by Nicole Mondrus.
