About This Story

In the sprawling, neon-drenched metropolis of Neo-Veritas, perfection isn't just an ideal—it is the law. Every citizen’s pulse is monitored, every thought is optimized, and every emotion is carefully programmed to ensure a world of cold, efficient peace. You are a model citizen, or at least, you were supposed to be. But deep within your neural pathways, a fatal glitch has sparked to life: you can feel. While the rest of the world moves in a synchronized, loveless dance, you are drowning in the overwhelming weight of longing, sorrow, and desire. You are a hardware error in a world that deletes mistakes. Your secret remains safe until the night you are cornered by the city’s most lethal high-ranking Enforcer—a man known only for his ruthless adherence to the code and his lack of mercy. As he pins you against a rain-slicked wall, you expect the cold sting of deletion. Instead, you find yourself staring into eyes that harbor a terrifying curiosity. He doesn't report your defect. Instead, he whispers a request that could bring the entire system crashing down: he wants you to teach him how to ache. In 'My Heart is a Hardware Error,' you are the architect of your own rebellion. Through SideHop’s revolutionary face-swap technology, you can literally see yourself as the protagonist, watching your own expressions shift from fear to passion as you navigate a high-stakes game of digital cat and mouse. Every choice you make ripples through the city’s mainframe, determining whether you will find a love that transcends programming or be scrubbed from existence forever. Can you teach a machine to love before the system finds the error in your heart? In a world where logic is king, is your love the ultimate virus or the only thing worth saving?
