The Thought Device is a revolutionary new piece of technology in Atomic Heart. You wear it on your temple, and it has tendrils that stretch out and around your forehead. The Thought Device allows you to do many things, and it can even preserve your consciousness for a few days after death. That’s how you’re able to speak to the dead in the game.
However, the real purpose of the Thought Device is to change the way people interact with robots. The game’s story revolves around the launch of something called Kollective 2.0, which will give every human on the planet with a Thought Device the power to command robots just by thinking about it. You’ll even be able to talk to other people using these devices across vast distances. The only catch is that the government will be able to track you and every thought you have.
However, the true purpose of these devices is control. Sechenov wants to use them to control every human on the planet, removing their free will and sending their mind somewhere called Limbo, where they’re eternally happy. Everyone’s bodies can then be used for whatever Sechenov wants, mostly manual work because no one will be able to stop him.
