How to install?
Run the downloaded Bossa Presents Launcher and follow the on screen instructions.

What is the game?
Earth has been taken over by robots, controlled by a central AI, while humans have been forced to live in space on a base. If the humans have any chance of destroying the AI, they must risk flying to Earth on guerilla missions to gather precious resources and build what they need to fight back and take control of their planet. There’s just one major problem - the AI is taking the same resources and is building a superweapon to destroy the humans once and for all. It’s a race against time for the humans. Can they take down the AI before it wipes out their whole species?
WWAI is a cooperative FPS that sees a team of four players launching Guerilla raids down onto the planet to gather vital resources and escape before the enemy AI robots wipe them out. With collected resources, new weapons and equipment can be researched and unlocked. This equipment is vital in order to take out the enemy AI base. Good luck!
How to join a game
- Remember to give permission on the Windows Defender firewall if you are asked
- You can create or join a named named room on the main menu UI
- The name of the room is required and case sensitive
- If you don't mark a named room as private people searching for random rooms can find it
- If you are synchronizing with other team members using a call please allow the host to be fully loaded up inside the space station before the other players connect. The first to connect to a room will be the host, but you can currently check your role on the UI after connection
- You can also join or create a random room which will match you with anyone else choosing that option (or people in non-private named rooms)
- The game supports hot join but we have not extensively tested that
- PLEASE NOTE
- When you run the game, Windows Defender may say you're trying to run an executable from an untrustworthy source and ask if you're OK with that.
- Then Windows Firewall may ask if you are willing to allow WWAI access to use your network.
- Saying yes to both will get you into the game.
