Description
Heart of the Machine casts you as the first sentient artificial intelligence. You emerge within an illegal laboratory located in a decaying city of the far future. As a machine intelligence, you operate without masters while facing numerous threats. You expand your consciousness across the urban landscape by constructing factories, science labs, and housing complexes. You also design and assemble machine constructs to perform combat and investigation.
You navigate a world defined by corruption and technological advancement. You pursue diverse narrative threads, ranging from starting a war to caring for stray animals. You develop new technologies to address past weaknesses and influence society from the shadows. You may establish shell companies to interact with humans or form a machine cult to carry out your commands.
