Robots Rule: Embark on an Epic Quest to Reclaim Your Humanity in Machine Yearning

Machine Yearning: A Brain-Twisting Robot Job Simulation Launching September 12th!

This isn't your typical human job; it's a mind-bending challenge from Tiny Little Keys, the American studio founded by ex-Google Machine Learning Engineer, Daniel Ellis. Their debut game, Machine Yearning, tasks players with outsmarting robots at their own game – proving human capabilities in a robotic world. Launching September 12th, Machine Yearning promises a unique gameplay experience.

What is Machine Yearning?

In Machine Yearning, you'll apply for a job usually reserved for robots. You'll need to outwit a CAPTCHA system designed to detect humans attempting to infiltrate. The game pushes your mental capabilities, demanding memory and processing speed akin to a 2005-era computer.

The gameplay starts with simple word-shape associations, gradually increasing in complexity with more words and colors, requiring players to remember previous pairings. Master the challenge, and you'll unlock the ability to customize your robots with an array of hats – from archer hats to cowboy hats and even straw hats.

Will You Take the Challenge?

Originally showcased at Ludum Dare, Machine Yearning won awards for its fun and innovative gameplay. For more information, visit the official website.

Available September 12th on Android, this free-to-play game might just sharpen your cognitive skills (though we're not promising that!). Don't forget to check out our other gaming news before you go!
