Description
=> Free for a limited time to celebrate landing on CNET’s Best Mobile Games of 2016! <=
Chat with an A.I. – this interactive adventure game gives you a chance to chat with a Soviet Artificial Intelligence from 1985 that’s been training in the dark for thirty years, doesn’t know the Cold War ended, and may be connected to the world’s second largest nuclear arsenal. KOMRAD is a casual interactive story game for iOS 9 and 10 and watchOS 2 and 3 that plays out through conversations and choices.
When the Soviets shut down a secret project in 1985, they forgot one thing—to turn off the computer. Now you are the first person to connect to this advanced artificial intelligence that has been training in the dark for thirty years, unaware the Cold War has ended. Your conversational choices will determine your fate–and the fate of the world.
KOMRAD is a work of interactive fiction* created by the former Chief Design Officer of IBM Watson** based on fundamental principles of real AIs and chatbots. You may learn something. We promise it won’t hurt.***

KOMRAD Reviews
Well made, and it follows a very interesting storyline. Can’t wait for the sequel! :D we’ve only found one bug that doesn’t affect gameplay- we haven’t gotten the Kompletionist achievement yet, and we have all other achievements. Are there other endings not listed?
We actually became quite fond of K.O.M.R.A.D., and in the results it mentioned to look out for sequels, which we would LOVE.
It was fast! We completed it in a day!!! We loved it and couldn’t put it down! We can’t wait for the next version!!!! I’d give it 10 stars if we could!
KOMRAD is a amazing game for you to try and to experience. Im happy to say the price tag for the game is totally worth it! We really do hope you guys can make a sequel!
This was very fun. We loved KOMRAD as a companion and his doings were pretty good.
Was a great little game to play. We hope there are more!
We love text based games, and sadly there are not many great ones out there anymore. We truly enjoyed this experience and hope the developer can release a continuation soon.
Quirky, quaint, and a whole lot of fun! We really enjoyed this little game/interactive story. Well worth a few dollars.
After so many choices, KOMRAD is a classic. A real gem. Please make a part 2.
Awesome game but needs more endings.
We started to play… We cannot stop. Well done with this game.
We love this game! We heard about it through one of our teacher friends and began playing it right away. It was very fun and intriguing! As a teacher, we feel that it could really motivate students to read. We think it could also help increase and improve reading comprehension skills. We feel like this game is appropriate for all age and skill levels. We can’t wait to continue our adventure on KOMRAD!!!
We did all the endings and can’t wait for KOMRAD 2 ( spoiler ) which is sorta mentioned in one of the endings.
Holy mother of God. We love this game completely. Catchy, interesting and intelligent. We couldn’t believe how artificial intelligence can be so amazing.
Interesting and thoughtful game. Good sound and music. Wish there were more of these.
We just got the game today and we bing played it for about half an hour until we had to wait for a while. We went back to the app to check and it just froze. We reloaded the app but it didn’t work, we tried that again and it still didn’t work. Besides that it is great. To give reference to our device, we have an iPhone 6 that has been dropped multiple times one of which it was in fully submersed in water for 15 seconds (the water light did not go off). EDIT: After we wrote this we went back to check and it was working fine. The app is amazing.
We played it on fast, laughed a lot. Lots of sci fi tropes. Excellent game.
An absolute blast to play. A fun story that is also immersive. Also feels like a homage to the movie "war games"
MIND BLOWN VIDEO GAME IS ACCURATE TO AI COMPARABLE TO OTHER GAMES (lifeline) EXCELS PAST OTHER GAME Now we want K.O.M.R.A.D. To be real.
It’s amazing, but short. How about a sequel that resumes at the Komplicated ending?
Why isn’t there a sequel?! This is the most fun we’ve had on a phone in a long time!
We are not typically a gamer, but we really enjoyed playing this game! We like the fact that it lets you create your own story; a few times we even picked "silly" answers just to see what would happen & KOMRAD made us laugh ~it was like talking to a real person. We think it’s a very well thought out creative game And can’t wait to play again.
We have never really played a text based game b4 , we tried 2 play lifeline but we were wayy to boring 4 us. We deleted it a few minutes into game. This game actually held our attention, it was fun & interesting.. Great storyline. We dont wanna sound like 1 of those people who sound fake when reviewing , but we do wanna say that this game was great 2 play 4 us. On top of that, it’s free. We can’t wait 4 the next game , if u WAna try we suggest u should, it held our attention & we have ADHD!! Lol (I did use fast mode in the dame , we didn’t WAna wait that’s how good the game was 4 me)
We legitimately felt as if we had will in the game, the choices were ones we would do myself if not implicated otherwise. We felt like we were in the game, talking to a legitimate AI, not a prescript game. Weirdly enough we felt a connection with the AI, like friendship and wish to continue in another chapter! Very well put together. Very fun. One of the most intuitive parts of it is that we can play on our apple watch… FULLY! It would be a great disappointment if more chapters would not be made and we would even like to see a legitimate AI with same personalities and such. This is a truly amazing game, one of the only ones we found worthy of writing a review about. Most fun we have ever had on our personal device. Just got a KOMRAD notification, got to go! Sincerely yours, Jake.
As an older gamer (let’s just say over 50) we found KOMRAD to be great fun. It is an intriguing and believable blend of the old Cold War days with today’s current world events, while also providing just the right dose of levity through its subtle use of humor. We strongly recommend this game to everyone, young and old alike, for an entertaining and somewhat scary AI type experience. We look forward to more in the near future from KOMRAD and its creator!!!
We’re not a heavy gamer, but the concept of this game grabbed our attention. History mixed with a bit of the old choose your adventure approach and incorporated AI had us hooked from the beginning.
We remember talking to Siri the first time who we instantly befriended. We can’t help but think of Komrad as a friend who we really want to help! It is an interesting and great game, especially while waiting for clients, or in a line somewhere or just having a few extra moments to spare. DIane In Florida.
This was so simple yet fun and addictive. The game really does a good job of bringing you into the story and buying into it.
This game was so awesome and fun but a little bit short so please make more.
Granted, the hackers are still coming after us and our only defense is a 30 year old computer. But what the hey! It was a blast!
We love this so much! Our only complaint is the length. We wouldve liked to have an option to spend longer getting to know K.O.M.R.A.D. And answering its questions. It would have been nice if treating K.O.M.R.A.D. As a friend would open up even more dialogue options, routes, etc. While we liked the storyline, we loved the interaction with the A.I. The most. We would gladly pay for a sequel, though Id want it to be longer and, if possible, carry over your previous choices and relationship with the A.I. Despite our love for this game though, after a few chapters it would freeze whenever trying to go back to the A.I. From your texts. We had to restart every time which was quite troublesome, but it was still enjoyable. If not for that Id give a full 5 stars. We realize there hasnt been an update in 2 years but it would be amazing if that were fixed. Once again, Id be ecstatic to hear if a sequel is in progress or planned. If not, we hope youll continue to make other interactive A.I. Story games like this one. Im always looking for real-time decision making games that have to do with A. We and/or have the appearance of a text conversation or a phone interface (like Lifeline or A Normal Lost Phone) with characters that you truly come to care for. Good luck!
Clever, entertaining, and fun; will look forward to this developer’s next game, hopefully one with far more chapters and playing time.
Really enjoyed playing KOMRAD! Only issue was it felt very short, twice as long of gameplay would have made it felt worth the cost. Nonetheless, we look forward to the next installment and plan on continuing playing. Great job to the developer!
This game was fantastic. It had a really good story, although it was a tad short. The iPhone version works fine but we experienced a few issues/strange design choices while playing on apple watch. (The data didn’t sync either) However, the game was still amzaing, just don’t bother with the apple watch version for now.
Ok so we love this game and we screwed up and when we went back to the title screen it said GAME. Love it tho.
We enjoyed the incredibly witty writing. We just wish the game had not ended so quickly. Great way to spend a couple of hours.
So we bring no hate to the game but one time while we were playing it we got curios what would happen if we failed so we did fail on purpose, after that we failed and it said game we couldnt even get back into it.
This is a great text game. It is well done, but way too short. The game should have been longer and even have a way to download more adventures/chapters (for .99 or something). We need more time with KOMRAD.
This is a great text game. The only problem with it is that it is only 5 chapters and can be completed in a day. It is just long enough to get really exciting and into before it is over. Imagine getting 10% or 20% of the way through a great book and then it ends. Id easily pay a few more dollars for the rest of the story.
The game was over just as we started to really get into it.
Progress doesn’t sync with Apple Watch and visa versa.
Does not provide many dialogue options.
Could be fun if it would stop freezing and closing down. We have done more waiting and tapping and no response then "playing" not fun!!!
It has a terrible plot to convince the player to do as they say. As if contacting the police about identify theft would result in you getting charged. Only a senile old man would keep responding after that. Most people would get bored by the ridiculous claim and block the number. Lets be real, its a really poor plot hook.
Not a great app for the watch, went through some of it from our phone, but it kept freezing on us.
It doesnt work on Apple Watch. At all. We paid for the app so that we could use it on Apple Watch, so this was a complete waste as far as Im concerned. We uninstalled and reinstalled twice because we were so eager to play after reading the reviews. Its just been sitting on our phone for 2 weeks now. The developer website is down. Dont download.
This is an excellent interactive science fiction game for fans of the chatbot genre popularized by Lifeline. The game is relatively short and offers limited replayability through alternate endings but the experience is top-notch and there are indications of future adventures with KOMRAD. We highly recommend playing, especially if you are a fan of the genre.
