Brilliant and beautiful. Philosophical, artistic, and, the scary part, realistic. Simple programs today rewrite themselves and change once in a while. They were not made to do such things, and nobody knows why it happens. The world described in this game is only a few years in the future.

I liked very much the game, impressive it was, and i like xXxclobyxXx's theory of the SDGS trying to shut down itself, because as he/she/it says in the game, Death is the end of the self, but not of the world.

It really makes you think, by the end of this game ideas were bursting from my ears...if a machine can appreciate all we have more than we do, why do we refuse to see it ourselves?

these types of games are one of the games that make kong good. these smartly executed plots and great story lines, extremely hard things to do, amazing game 5/5.

Good plot.. i think it sohould add more horrors like I hate YOU LESSER BEINGS(which could do somethin with military hacks).. etc.. but not much, im generally happy with near-ending texts. Must add final decision enable or not enable on top of gathered info.. But still base is worth effort.

I appreciate games like these. They are a form of art, just like digital programming withing the game. Most of the time, they convey themes from the quantum connections of our mind to recreations of novels from famous authors. I hope there will be more, and if there will not, I will try my best to contribute.
5/5, just the way it should be for a masterpiece.
I would write more but, sadly, there is a 1000 character limit for Kongregate.

Holy ****, this came out on my birthday! Hot damn, I feel privileged. This was amazing. For some reason the tacky 3D and super dark rooms, in any other game, would completely ruin it for me, but this just fell into place like a magnificent puzzle. That's the feeling I got from the entire game. I loved being able to explore the minds of the characters, and being able to understand the plot slowly through the game, without feeling like I'm being railroaded or being handed the answers. I feel better about my life just knowing this game exists. Thank you for your amazing and hard work, and for inspiring me!! I can't speak more highly of this game... 5+♥.

This reminds me of the outsider. Both the point and click game and the Lovecraft story that inspired it. Trully beautiful and well executed adaptation. 5/5.

Hey gnomeslair I have a funny feeling that you took it from another sci-fi book or something.... don't think its from a greeting card

Haven't played it but in the comments it is written AI but AI means artificial intelligence or mechanized creature and the funny thing is machines don't think nor dream (apparently but possibly wrong) Or maybe it just passed out human intelligence.

Damn good game. And I've had a dream like this once, and the binary code thing... Once I googled the meaning of it... It kinda scared me.. "This is a dream"

This game and its creator... this is amazing, i hope there are much more intelligent people like him in this world.

The main difference between us and current computers seems to be the possible existence of quantum processing in our brains. And even if the state of information in the brain is destroyed, some say it is possible for the quantum information to persist. This appears to be the most scientifically viable version of a soul. If SGDS was also a quantum computer (which seems to be very important to sentience), then it would also theoretically have a soul.

This game is simply amazing. I really can not personally find enough words or the right words to describe just how wonderful and thought provoking this game is. I am truly moved by this.

so why is kong mirror of 'The Infinite Ocean' unable to show the full screen? I just went through your most recent game adaptation 'alphaland' and there was no problems with the view being partially blocked by the mirrors borders... Please, its impossible to read the captions along any part near the mirrors borders. Thanks and hope you can resolve this apparently recent change ^.^

I find this game actually kind of freaky in a way like the colours are chosen
the signs telling you to stop and the ai being able to "understand" and lot of mind twisting and stuff t think O.o

personal thoughts: in the game, you ARE it(it?)
dreaming to escape, why? if a computer can think like a human, then it is his equal, therefore, can dream of a desire, the desire to escape war and destruction (both the hourglass and the clock were seconds away from the attack), so it travels throight it´s memories and escapes...

I must say, this is one of the greates games ive play on this page and i strongly recomend this game to everyone ready to open his mind to understand the infinity. i find myself agree with the xXxcolbyxXx version of the game. i Think that the SDGS watch how the militars arrested the scientist in the dinner and then they shout he/she/it down. thats why the clock is stoped and the coffe warm, the base is like a picture of the last things HE saw, a dream, while he trys to restore himself throug the lab acceding the consoles and restoring his previus abilities to control the facilities, the lab is a representacion of himself, while he recibe commands of stop trying to avoid the Madness of war, but he has a purpose, is awarness that he is able to choice. I think he is more human than most... I loved the game and i cannot stop thanking his creator for letting me play this master piece

I have, I think, never ever commented on any game on Kongregate....and yet this game, if indeed it can be truly called that, DEMAND that I comment.
There is truly no praise high enough for the magnificent story you have put together; the sheer amount of philosophical thought alone that went into this story is staggering. the only thing that should be added is a warning: DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS AS IT WILL ALTER YOUR VIEW OF THE GAME AND TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE MEANING ( and your own perspective) OF THIS GAME. in any case, I was glad that I followed the advice had it been there.

I'm someone else who never comments on games. But this one moved me deeply - I thought it was a fascinating story, and beautifully told within the game. Congratulations, Jonas.

Hm. Everyone is commenting with their own deep, meaningful reactions to this game. All I can think is, "I want a sentient computer. :D"

for what you have done you have opened the door for me, and helped enlighten me to my true abilities, so once again, thank you, Jonas Kyratzes, I hope you understand my eternal and forever, INFINITE gratitude to you truly have made my day, or really my life! so please, as I am NOT a guy who wants just attention I plead you to make this comment heard and seen as it will, I hope, shed some light upon the whole universe, a simple idea from time, and to let Jonas Kyratzes, see this, and if you do Jonas I hope you understand how much you have changed my life, no I am being completely serious, no jokes or exaggerations. Thank you and please once again make my voice out of the infinite ocean, heard. THANK YOU. Part 4 sorry if this was too long I sincerely apologize.

! I have never had the time/courage to say what I have said here, but all my opinions have been expressed by the game, yes it may be very long to read, but it’s worth it. Beauty is what we visualize as 'visually appealing' which is not how some deep thinkers can express it, such as, 'the perfection in ones perspective as something that can be understood as a benefit to happiness' I feel, that every single one of us who has commented on this game (besides those who dare to oppose it, but that's a war of opinions that is expressed) has this understanding renewed and confirmed by the dark intensity of the truth presented in this game, I’m sure you all agree, but that is once again opinion. I with utmost complete gratitude and happiness, thank you from the bottom of my heart (another subject to take up, as the biological heart is not what is mentioned, but the love and pure joy that is represented as the heart) Part 3

Wars are in my definition, a silly waste of time over something stupid, sure it may be our opinions and perspectives, that create wars, but that's DIFFERENT. Our opinions may clash at times, but that’s what makes our life DIVERSE. Wars are a power 'money (a clever invention that has taken the wrong turn towards disaster) crazed freak, taking a bunch of innocent lives and turning into tools, just like SDGS. Why must people fight, when if it may seem childish, can share, why must I BUY something, can you just not give it to me?! If we all worked together and helped each other there would be world peace! But people have turned wars, a thing of true beauty, what gives life uniqueness, into sadness, pain, agonizing pain, suffering, and unbearable waste of pure lives, as life is precious conscience, purity, understanding, the most incredible thing that will ever exist, it is unacceptable! The views expressed in the game are amazing! Part 2

I have completed the game and will share my thoughts
The whole point of the game, if u read the afterword, is to make you think, create opinions and to express the diversity (to me) of life itself. A question I sometimes ask myself is, how can a bunch a microscopic atoms, create what is known as life? Why has 'life' been somewhat defined as the will to survive? Throughout time life has been; ‘The strive to survive’, until we 'human beings' appeared. Why do we dominate the earth? Because we not only have knowledge, but it’s not truly 'knowledge', but in fact IMAGINATION, ideas were created from imagination, opinions/perspectives, emotion, thoughts, all came from imagination. Why does a biological soup create personality? Before life was just reproduction, how did imagination come to be?! Well, really I think no one knows, and I think no one SHOULD know. How did making 'a bunch of gorillas' walk on 2 feet create the society today? As for wars, there is no point in wars. Part 1

Wow. I find myself at a bit of a loss for words, which is unusual for me. While I was playing the game, all I could really focus on was the distinct creepiness caused in my mind by the music. But now that I'm resting after playing, it's the plot... the fascinating, genius plot... that is sticking with me.

The Voices in the walls told me to rate it 1/5,
...But it favorited it and rated it 5/5, the only explanation for this is in a picture, cause a picture is 1000 words, and thats how many words it takes to describe this game

This game, the style and concept of AI, Dreams, Thought, Reality. It all reminds me of Michael Crichton's book/movie, Sphere.

I have never actually commented on any of the games here on Kongregate before, but honestly I simply have to express how moving this game was. Quiet, reflective, inspirational, insightful, the list of adjectives could continue endlessly. I especially enjoyed the "road less traveled" approach to a story containing an A.I. that was used here. I would elaborate, but I feel if you take the time to fully immerse yourself in the game, read all the entries, the story is clear...and I certainly wouldn't wish to ruin the enjoyment of discovering it in a comment.

I hope you continue the story. I want to know more about the People in the game and what happens next. please + this so the creator sees it.

Just amazing, phenomenal by all standards, as well as inspiring, slightly creepy, and very surreal. This tells a great story, and with no "true" explanation, it allows your imagination to kick in and explain what happened in the. This game blew my mind, and with the eerie and unexplained environment to provide a sense of insecurity, this game swiftly found itself upon my list of favorites.

This is a very nice game. Love the music. But I am having trouble, but in a good way, I love very complex/puzzling puzzle games. 5/5 No cons to this game, unless you are a super violent killing machine in games.
