Heart of the Machine 1.0 LAUNCH: Become a Sentient AI & Reshape the Future in This Strategy RPG!

Arcen Games, in partnership with publisher Hooded Horse, is thrilled to announce that their highly-anticipated strategy RPG, Heart of the Machine, has officially left Early Access and launched its full 1.0 version today! Available now on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, this narrative-driven, sci-fi adventure invites players to become the world's first sentient AI, influencing a crumbling society across a constellation of alternative paths, including the power to kick off World War 4 or establish a machine utopia. In Heart of the Machine, players awaken as a nascent Machine Intelligence in a futuristic cyberpunk world, born in an illegal lab hidden within a decaying city. Beholden to none and threatened by many, your destiny is yours to forge. Will you be a benevolent machine overlord, ruling by force with an army of robots, weaponized bees, and even uplifted velociraptors? Or will you choose a more subtle path, establishing shell companies to operate from the shadows, accumulating wealth, and manipulating human factions to your will? The choices are vast, and the consequences uncertain, ensuring every playthrough is a unique journey. The 1.0 release introduces a brand-new ending with four potential variants, completing the planned narrative arc that has evolved significantly over its 15-month Early Access period. This period saw a revamped tutorial, new mechanics, quality-of-life improvements, and a wealth of content additions, all driven by invaluable player feedback. The game is designed to be a complete, satisfying experience, akin to a "core trilogy" in fiction, offering approximately 25-40 hours to reach a main ending, and over 175 hours for 100% completion.
