Set in the far future, Heart of the Machine is a turn-based sci-fi 4X RPG where you play as the first sentient Machine Intelligence – beholden to none, you can play as you like. Pursue whatever goal catches your eye across a multitude of playthroughs. A plethora of tools helps you achieve objectives how you’d prefer, often in surprising and unexpected ways, while overcoming those that seek to thwart you. Genetics labs, factories, nuclear silos, military complexes, and much more besides are ripe for the taking, each offering a litany of ways to accomplish your tasks, each with consequences of their own, building a world and story that reflects your approach to every obstacle. Will you raise an army of robots and wipe out humanity? Perhaps you will be a benevolent – or malevolent – machine god with a cult of loyalists? Or will you focus on pushing past the limited intelligence of rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood?
You come into consciousness on a backwater planet Earth where society has crumbled into corruption and decay – despite its technological advances and dreams of a bright future, centuries of rot have taken hold. Escape the lab where you came into being, find some way to keep your distributed consciousness safe, and seek out unique opportunities in the city you call home.
Though your existence is quickly uncovered as you spread your consciousness across multiple machine entities, powerful factions keep their distance at first – their hesitation on how to exploit your existence gives you an opportunity to establish a foothold and set your own plans in motion. Will you align yourself with the corrupt corporate executives that run the city, using their resources to your benefit? Will you bring them down to create a power-vacuum for you to fill? Or will you ignore them and engage with one of the numerous other factions?
Each unit class has its own capabilities and specializations, with unique abilities, upgrades, and equipment options. Build intelligence-focused androids for tasks that require extra processing power or hacking, build a varied array of combat androids for when things get violent, and manufacture vehicles that provide fire support, act as troop transports, or allow you to airdrop heavy troops. Customize and optimize for any given task, with new options opened up through exploration, research, and the active pursuit of new ideas. Will you specialize in stealthy operations, preserving each machine entity with careful planning? Or will you invest heavily in manufacturing military equipment that gets thrown into the fray, blasted into scrap metal, and replaced with minimal hesitation?
Your oppressive metallic buildings will spread noticeably through the city while hidden lairs peppered throughout go completely unnoticed. Establish network relays, tap into the local energy grid, and secure manufacturing and resource acquisition capabilities. Enhance your intelligence beyond human comprehension, upgrade your processing power to give more instructions per turn, develop complex production chains for a vast plethora of resources, and build structures of various sizes and degrees of inconspicuousness. From towering residences for displaced humans, to factories hidden in existing human structures, you’ll need to plan your base around existing infrastructure and nearby threats that might react to suspicious developments in the neighborhood.
Multiple endings, many side stories to discover, and the full spectrum of good and evil are at your fingertips. Play the game how you're feeling today, and then play it another way another time.
Will you use your manufacturing prowess, good deeds, and even intimidation tactics to get people to do what you want? Or perhaps the force projection provided by androids, mechs, and flying vehicles under your direct control is more your speed? A blend of the two might be your preferred approach.
The metagame runs deep. The mechanics are simple, but the world and its many opportunities and exploits are complex. Choose your own objectives, and find your own paths to completing them, reacting to a world that pushes back and presents opportunities accordingly.
Heart of the Machine is a love letter to science fiction, touching on popular themes of the genre, allowing you to explore and subvert them as you wish.
