What is Heart of the Machine about?

Set in the far future, Heart of the Machine is a turn-based sci-fi 4X RPG where you play as a powerful sentient Machine Intelligence, beholden to none. Pursue whatever goal catches your eye across a multitude of playthroughs with a plethora of tools to help you achieve objectives how you’d prefer, often in surprising and unexpected ways, while overcoming those that seek to thwart you. Genetics labs, factories, nuclear silos, military complexes, and much more besides are ripe for the taking, each offering a litany of ways to accomplish your tasks, each with consequences of their own, building a world and story that reflects your approach to every obstacle. Will you raise an army of robots and wipe out humanity? Perhaps you will be a benevolent – or malevolent – machine god with a cult of loyalists? Or will you focus on pushing past the limited intelligence of rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood?

Should I stream Heart of the Machine on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 1 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. None of the 1 people watching Heart of the Machine are watching in English — every live stream is in another language, so there is nobody here for an English broadcast to reach.

None of the 1 viewers here are watching in English — every live stream is in another language, so there is nobody for an English broadcast to reach.

Only 0 of the 1 viewers here (0%) are watching in English. 0 of the 1 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is Heart of the Machine too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Heart of the Machine, every one of them in another language — so the room is quiet because there is nobody here for an English broadcast to reach, not because it is waiting for you.
