From the moment you left HOPE Laboratory, something shifted the world felt quieter, as if making space for what you now carry forward. The futuristic ambulance transported ARTWOMB with deliberate care, safeguarding the fragile life that had just begun its earliest formation. On the transparent screen, the changes were subtle yet astonishing the first neural line, the initial heart bud, the early layers that would become a human body. There was no need for words. Only the understanding that you were escorting something precious to its very first home.
The building stood serene, a structure of curved glass and soft light Beyond Residence, a place of rest, designed to house not only hope, but becoming. As the ambulance doors opened, a team of caretakers welcomed you and carried the incubator into a private suite that seemed to breathe with warmth and calm.
There, in a quiet room filled with filtered sunlight and soft tones, ARTWOMB was placed beside you. The platform beneath it adjusted to your presence—matching temperature, rhythm, and even echoing the subtle sounds of your heartbeat.
“This is where they’ll begin to recognize your voice,”
whispered Dr. Mayleen, now assigned as your companion and guide.
Trimester One:
Time slipped by like threads of silk. Each morning, you were invited to place your hand on the glass surface of ARTWOMB—to hum, to speak, to simply be there. Inside, the embryo quietly unfolded. By week 5, a heart began to beat—not loud, not yet strong, but present. And with it, a strange new rhythm stirred within you.
The beat wasn’t just theirs. It was yours too.
Week 6 to 9, arms and legs emerged. A face began to form. Primitive organs came to life. You watched as neurons lit up and the brain began to divide. It was still too small to speak, but you knew—it was already listening, in its own way.
At night, the lights dimmed, and ARTWOMB projected a soft hologram of the baby’s development. From your bed, you watched each detail, sometimes weeping quietly—not from sadness, but from wonder. From awe. From love.
“Can they hear me?”
you asked Dr. Mayleen one evening.
“Not with ears,” she said softly.
“But with feeling. Right now, they are building the first home of their heart. And you… you are part of its foundation.”
ARTWOMB serves as the primary life-support system throughout the first trimester, maintaining stable temperature, nutrient flow, and developmental monitoring with high precision. Once placed in your private suite, ARTWOMB automatically synchronizes with your biometric profile—adjusting its internal environment to keep the embryo stable and responsive. Every change inside is shown through a clear, real-time interface that highlights key development markers, ensuring you always understand what’s happening. ARTWOMB transforms early growth from a distant medical process into a continuous, personal connection you can follow from day to day.
The gameplay of Segment 6 begins the moment ARTWOMB is placed in your suite, activating its systems as a part of your daily routine. Your first task is to establish Bio-Sync Mode, where you must hold the interface and keep your heartbeat within the guiding zones. Maintaining the rhythm correctly stabilizes the internal chamber; drifting too far causes warning pulses and forces you to re-sync before development can continue.
As the trimester progresses, milestone prompts appear on ARTWOMB’s display moments when cells divide, the neural groove forms, or the first cardiac flicker emerges. You must approach the device, inspect the visualized growth phase, and confirm it through the interaction panel. Completing these moments boosts your Insight Score, while ignoring them lowers future visibility into your baby’s early traits.
Throughout the segment, ARTWOMB occasionally initiates the Emotional Resonance Scan, inviting you to place your palm on the glass. A moving bar represents your emotional steadiness, and you must keep it aligned as the system converts your signal into calming waves inside the chamber. Letting the bar fall repeatedly triggers a “Resonance Drop,” reducing comfort stability and adding an extra recovery task to restore balance.
None of these mechanics can cause you to lose the embryo, but mistakes create setbacks: slower progress, temporary instability, or reduced insight bonuses. Segment 6 teaches that presence is part of the gameplay steady, intentional, and earned through every interaction you choose to make.
On Day 84, the first trimester comes to a close. The medical team reveals a nearly complete form inside ARTWOMB organs intact, a strong heartbeat, quickly developing neural activity. At the final check, you’re asked to place your avatar’s hand on the interface to initiate the final emotional sync. The system translates your biometric signals into soft waves and sends them directly to the embryo.
Then something remarkable appears: two heartbeats. One is yours… and one is theirs. Two rhythms that began as strangers now begin to harmonize. This is where the segment ends: in the first home of the heart, where connection stops being symbolic and begins becoming real.
ARTWOMB is a state-of-the-art artificial incubator designed to replicate the warmth, protection, and nourishment of a human womb. Within its translucent chamber, life begins and grows monitored by advanced sensors, supported by bio-nutrient systems, and connected to the emotional presence of its parent. It is more than just a machine it is the first home, the silent witness to the miracle of becoming.
A tranquil and futuristic living space designed with care and intention, Beyond Residence offers the perfect environment to nurture and support your embryo’s early development. Equipped with advanced life-support technology and emotional connectivity systems, it provides comfort not just for your growing child, but also for you as a parent. Here, every detail light, sound, air, and rhythm is tuned to foster peace, bonding, and the miracle of new life.
A sanctuary crafted just for you, this private room at Beyond Residence is where your journey into parenthood quietly begins. Designed by HOPE Labs with comfort and connection in mind, it features a personal ARTWOMB station, ambient lighting, and calming technology that supports the healthy growth of your embryo. Here, every heartbeat, whisper, and presence matters because this is where life begins to feel loved.
