Machine Heart
Narrative Designer, WriterA 2.5D sci-fi puzzle-adventure where you switch between a hunted scientist and a memoryless robot to solve cross-era mysteries that shape humanity’s digital fate.
In Machine Heart, you step into the intertwined destinies of Avis, a rebellious scientist on the run in a neon-lit cyberpunk city, and Vox, a memoryless robot wandering through desolate post-apocalyptic ruins. Across two eras separated by time yet bound by secrets, their stories converge on a conspiracy to upload every human mind into the machine. Only by piecing together their journeys can the fate of humanity be revealed.
Players navigate side-scrolling environments that blend narrative intrigue with interactive challenge. As Avis, players rely on stealth and agility to evade patrols in a cyberpunk city. As Vox, players decode memory chips hidden in post-apocalyptic ruins to piece together forgotten histories. Many puzzles span across timelines, requiring information discovered in one era to solve challenges in the other. Players must combine careful observation, problem-solving, and reflexes to uncover the layered connection between past and future.
Machine heart was released on Steam after debuting at USC Games Expo 2023, earning positive reviews from players.
