Choose carefully, because our future overlords will probably judge you based on this one.
An upcoming strategy game will cast you as the first AI and ask you to choose whether to become Skynet, save the world, or something in between. Heart of the Machine is set to release in 2023, and it's a heck of a game concept. Having awakened in a world where nobody knows you exist, you as an AI will set your own goals in a vast cityscape in the far future.
It's set up like a colony or city sim game, with a focus on story rather than victory conditions, but with the twist that the big procedurally generated society has already been made and you're dropped into it to cause havoc as you will. You'll be able to take control of humans and machines that you've brought to your side in real-time tactical combat.
The game hopes to be pretty simple to play, though the world itself will be complex."The metagame runs deep, but you're meant to be up and running with the basics of the game in five minutes," says the developer.
