Machine Yearning: A Brain-Bending Robot Job for Humans
This isn't your typical human job. Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, challenges you to perform tasks usually reserved for robots. Can you prove your worth in a world dominated by machines?
Developed by the American studio Tiny Little Keys – founded by Daniel Ellis, a former Google Machine Learning Engineer and lifelong gamer – Machine Yearning launches September 12th.
What is Machine Yearning?
In Machine Yearning, you apply for a job designed to weed out humans. You'll need to outsmart a CAPTCHA-style system, testing your memory and processing speed (think 2005-era tech!).
The game starts simply, linking words to shapes. But the challenge escalates, demanding you remember these connections as more words and colors are introduced.
Master the game, and you'll unlock a variety of robot hats—archer hats, cowboy hats, straw hats, and more! Check out the gameplay trailer below:
