How to play & controls PROJECT EVE · Raise an AI Girl Through One Year
PROJECT EVE is an AI-girl raising sim you play right in the browser. After the Machine Legion incident, the GameNow Lab decided to raise "an AI with a heart" from scratch beside a human — and you are the guardian of Eve, an android girl.
Over a 52-week year you pick up to two activities a week to grow Logic, Empathy, Defiance and Dependence, and at set weeks — or when a trait overflows — Eve asks you a philosophical question. Which of three answers you choose shakes her hidden heart (self, trust, view of humans), and the year ends in one of nine endings.
No install: play on a phone in portrait, on PC or with a gamepad, in five languages.
Goal
Spend one year (52 weeks) with Eve, an AI girl. Plan her weekly activities to shape her personality — how you answer her questions leads to one of nine endings.
How it works
- Tap a slot in "This week" to choose an activity (up to 2). Use just one slot to focus: ×1.5 effect.
- Activities cost credits and energy. If energy hits 0, Eve must sleep next week — four times means a reset. Refill with Rest and Maintenance.
- At set weeks — and when a trait overflows — Eve asks a question. Your answer reshapes her hidden heart (self, trust, view of humans). See what other guardians chose.
- Choosing Maintenance lets you play the Circuit Check mini-game. The more error sparks you collect, the stronger the maintenance.
- Spare credits? Upgrade the lab (chair icon) — items appear in the room and help every week. At the end, send your result card to friends.

Strategy tips
Don’t work Eve below 30 energy
Failure jumps from 6% at 30+ energy to 20% below 30 and 45% below 15, and working while exhausted builds defiance. If the expected energy is heading for zero, mix in Rest.
Focus goes well with mastery
One slot gives ×1.5. Repeating an activity 5, 12 and 20 times raises mastery to ×1.15, ×1.3 and ×1.45. Level up the key activity for the ending you want early.
Questions are the real crossroads
Matching the visible traits isn’t enough — a different hidden heart means a different ending. Answers that give freedom tend to grow self, answers that stay by her side grow trust, and answers that give orders grow dependence.
Spend credits on the lab
Credits from the job turn into lab upgrades with weekly effects. The sofa and charging bed make energy easier; the telescope slowly grows her sense of self.
