Machine Yearning: A Brain-Teasing Robot Job Simulator Launching September 12th
This isn't your typical human job. Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, challenges you to take on tasks usually reserved for robots. Can you prove yourself the ultimate human in a robot's world?
Developed by the American studio Tiny Little Keys – founded by Daniel Ellis, a former Google Machine Learning Engineer – Machine Yearning launches September 12th.
What is Machine Yearning?
The game throws you into the deep end, applying for a job designed for robots. You'll need to outwit a CAPTCHA-like system designed to weed out imposters. Get ready for a mental workout that'll test your memory and processing speed, pushing your brain to at least a 2005-era level of performance!
Starting with simple word-shape pairings, the difficulty steadily increases. As you progress, you'll need to remember those associations while the game throws more words and colors into the mix.
Success unlocks a reward: dressing up your robotic counterparts with a variety of hats! Think archer hats, cowboy hats, straw hats – the possibilities are endless. Check out the game in action:
