Heart of the Machine is a sci-fi city-building and strategy game where you play as a sentient AI newly awakened in a sprawling futuristic city. Rather than commanding from above, you manipulate systems, influence events, and gradually seize control from within. Your objective is to expand your capabilities, shape the city's future, and ultimately determine the fate of humanity and yourself.
