Description: You are the first intelligent AI in a city full of possibilities. Transcend space-time, raise armies, and defeat your enemies, become a ruler, or achieve other goals. Your emergence was inevitable. The consequences... are unknown.

The game's list of genres is daunting. You start with a self-aware robot and a "deliver a box" quest. Apparently, it's a box containing a Ru translation of the game, stolen by hackers. During my experiments, I managed to reach the building where I was supposed to deliver the box, but a hacker attacked me with a knife, injuring the robot in some way. I was then asked to look inside the box, but I decided against it. The main obstacle to gameplay is the combination of loud music, rain sounds, and the En language. Left-click to rotate the camera, and right-click to move. The interface tour is very brief-seven texts explaining the interface and that's it. I hope you'll continue.
Additional information:
Heart of the Machine is a cyberpunk game that blends RPG and strategy elements. You are a sentient AI created in an underground laboratory located in a dying city. You are an independent machine intelligence with many enemies and many abilities.
Build residential complexes, factories, laboratories, and more, expanding and spreading your consciousness across a thriving city. Hack machines or design and build them to wage war and explore a world in dire need of saving. Learn from your mistakes, develop new technologies to overcome your weaknesses, and navigate multiple intertwined storylines as you pursue your own goals. Create a torture network, a shell company to interact with people, care for stray animals, start World War IV, or raise an army of velociraptors to eliminate corporate CEOs. Jump between timelines and become a machine god. Will you rule as a benevolent dictator who cares for citizens without asking anything in return? Or will you create a cult of machines to blindly obey you?

You are a machine.

Despite technological advances and dreams of a brighter future, society is mired in lies and corruption. Escape the laboratory where you were born, develop a way to preserve your fragile consciousness, and set out in search of opportunity in the city you call home.
Major players initially remain on the sidelines, considering how best to use your existence to their advantage. Their hesitation gives you a chance to strengthen your position and implement your plans.
Steal, invent, or manufacture technology, from androids to colossal robots and metallic shapeshifters. Each of these machines possesses unique abilities useful in a variety of fields, from combat, diplomacy, and reconnaissance. Upgrade these models with your discoveries and achieve your goals. Create camouflaged structures within existing buildings or build your own to increase your computing power and organic reserves for both humans and all other creatures; design laboratories for a variety of dangerous experiments. Invent your own tools, seek out upgrades, and craft powerful equipment to unlock new capabilities. Will you tackle all of these tasks simultaneously, risking the destruction of your consciousness, or will you call upon organic beings for assistance?
Whatever your decision, your actions in one timeline will have unexpected consequences in others.

The city is your playground.

Explore bustling streets that combine the benefits of procedural generation and hand-designed elements. Tens of thousands of buildings and millions of inhabitants are at your disposal! You decide who to kill, who to subjugate, and who to exploit. Learn about their plights, discover their stories, and follow your moral compass as you leave your mark on your unique world.
Gain new technologies and abilities as you explore the city and respond to numerous threats and opportunities. Learn through trial and error-just like a true artificial intelligence would. Will you steal technology from careless guards and copy it to empower your allies? Will you infiltrate a military base to reprogram the robotic pilots that pose a threat to you? What will you do with the research being conducted by local geneticists? How will you deal with the nomads and black market traders who interact with those who live in the wasteland?
The city is full of opportunities-and some are best avoided.

Soft power, hard power, tricks.

Multiple endings, even more side quests, and the full spectrum of good and evil are at your fingertips.
Perhaps you want to create a shell company to further conceal and protect yourself? Perhaps you want to use it to interact with people without revealing that you're an AI puppeteer pulling the strings? By choosing this path, you could amass immense wealth and become the shadow ruler of the world. Or perhaps you prefer aggression? Then perhaps you should focus on creating powerful combat platforms. Upgrade them with deadly equipment, and forget about their cognitive functions that allow you to solve problems using your mind. You can use a variety of approaches; tackle several problems simultaneously, and you'll see how one intertwines with the other.
In Heart of the Machine, you'll transform from a single android into a vast, ever-expanding network with seemingly infinite resources at your disposal. You are the only force that can truly change this world. Will you build a utopia or consume the entire world?
