Let's that in the Heart of the Machine, we step in the shoes of a powerful artificial intelligence that we can control according to our will. There is nothing to prevent you from becoming a ruthless machine, responsible for the annihilation of all humanity, or, on the contrary, a merciful god with a huge horde of fanatical followers.

The action of the game takes place in a vast city consisting of both manually created elements and those procedurally generated. During the game, we build and take over new buildings such as laboratories, military bases, and factories, which provide us with new development opportunities. The title offers considerable freedom of action, and the world dynamically changes according to our doings.
