Machine Heart
Steam

Machine Heart is a 2.5D Sci-fi Puzzle-Adventure Game featuring two interconnected storylines. You'll play as Avis, a defiant scientist hunted for her research, and Vox, a sentient robot who lost all his memory. By bringing together two storylines from two distinct eras, you'll uncover the striking secret behind the fate of humanity. Throughout your journey, you will learn to solve challenging cross-timeline puzzles with a mix of stealth, bike chasing, and exploration. Will you be able to find out what truly happened to all of mankind?

The two storylines are set in two distinct times and spaces. Carefully explore the dystopian Cyberpunk city of Avis's storyline, or immerse yourself in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Vox's storyline. Switch between storylines at any time and discover the surprising connection between the two protagonists.

When you play as Avis, the scientist, you'll need to evade hostile patrols by staying out of their spotlight. Hurry up and get to your lab as soon as you can because your research might decide the fate of humanity.
Solve unique and challenging puzzles throughout your journey. Some require careful observation of the world, while others test your ability to connect various clues you've gathered. Can you piece together the solutions and the true story behind the game?
