Heart of the Machine 1.0 is available now on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $29.99. You transcend time and space as the world’s first sentient AI in this narrative-driven adventure.

The game tasks you with finding your place amidst a crumbling society.
New Endings and Content in 1.0
The 1.0 launch introduces a whole new ending with four potential variants. You can let the corporations have their way or slip in one last betrayal. This ending completes the planned narrative arc for the full release. The horrors and fun times aren’t over yet for players though.
The developers have plenty of ideas for post-1.0 support going forward. Heart of the Machine evolved significantly during its 15-month early access period. A revamped tutorial and new mechanics arrived through updates. Never-ending bug fixes, tweaks, and quality of life improvements followed throughout.

The game is localized from English into eight additional languages. German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese are all supported. Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese complete the localization list. The price sits at $29.99 USD / £24.99 / €29.99 / ¥2,980.
Questionable patch notes added character during the development journey. The full release marks the culmination of extensive community feedback integration.
