Your decisions shape how one boy’s courage redefines what it means to be a hero. In 1957 Cold War America, a fallen machine from the stars crashes into the woods near Rockwell, Maine. You are Hogarth Hughes—a curious nine-year-old who discovers the truth: the Iron Giant isn’t a weapon. He’s a soul. And you must teach him that he is more than what he was built for.

The Siberian cold hits hard as gusts of wind whip across the snowy tundra. Maria walks steadily towards her laboratory, her winter coat barely protecting her from the relentless weather. Her face is serious, her mind focused on her job as an engineer on a secret Soviet government project. The cold war keeps the world on edge, and amidst paranoia and espionage, she continues to do her duty without questioning too much. But something breaks the monotony of the frosty morning. A loud crash echoes in the distance. Maria stops and turns her head in the direction of the sound. Her instinct tells her something isn't right. She cautiously approaches a snow-covered tree, where she sees something unusual on the ground. A man lies there, his clothes clearly not belonging to this era, and beside him is a backpack with strange objects. You. Your head hurts. Time travel wasn't smooth this time, and the cold seeps into your bones. Before you can react, you feel firm hands grab you and help you up. When you look up, you see her. Maria. Your mother.
