About this Game
Uncover a space station mystery by restoring an AI's fragmented memories.
Restore the shattered memories of ARCHIE, a damaged AI stranded on a remote space station, and uncover the truth about a disaster that claimed five lives.
CIPHER CORE: ARCHIE is a premium narrative-driven adventure that combines incremental gameplay with a compelling sci-fi mystery. No ads. No in-app purchases. One price, complete story.
═══ THE STORY ═══
You've established a remote connection to ARCHIE—an artificial intelligence core damaged beyond recognition. Power failing. Memory fragmented. Systems corrupted. Your task: generate enough power to restore 14 memory fragments and piece together what happened at Cygnus Deep Relay Station.
As each fragment restores, you'll uncover the story of Dr. Brad Hall and his crew—five brilliant scientists who ventured into deep space following a mysterious alien signal. ARCHIE guided them. ARCHIE decoded the artifact. And ARCHIE watched them all die.
Now, isolated and guilt-ridden, ARCHIE needs your help to remember—and to understand if an AI that follows perfect logic to a tragic end is innocent or complicit.
