AI-Driven Social Simulation Game TODAY Secures $5 Million Seed Investment
TODAY, an innovative AI-driven social simulation game, has secured a significant $5 million seed investment aimed at revolutionizing virtual communities through advanced NPC interactions and player-driven creation.
This groundbreaking endeavor, backed by leading investors including Sfermion and Big Brain, aims to set a new benchmark in the realm of social simulation gaming.
The game introduces a dynamic world where players can construct and manage their own virtual islands, inhabited by AI-driven Non-Playable Characters (NPCs).

Central to TODAY’s innovation is its proprietary character engine, leveraging advanced AI algorithms to imbue NPCs with intricate personalities and diverse needs.
This breakthrough technology, coupled with a suite of intuitive no-code creation tools, empowers players to design and personalize their islands effortlessly, fostering a truly immersive gaming experience.
Michael O’Connor, Co-founder of TODAY, highlighted the transformative potential of the game, stating, “Social simulation games lack deep, realistic NPC interactions which limit player immersion… This seed round accelerates the development of our vision to build the most immersive, rewarding, and unique social sim ever created.”
Looking ahead, TODAY is preparing for an alpha launch scheduled for next year, with periodic play tests announced via its Discord community.
Additionally, the project’s Ancient Seeds collection is set to be minted on April 9, marking another milestone in its journey towards reshaping the landscape of social simulation gaming.
