Machine Yearning: A Robot's Job, A Human's Challenge
This brain-teaser of a game, from Tiny Little Keys, challenges players to perform tasks typically reserved for robots. Founded by a former Google Machine Learning Engineer, the studio is making waves with its unique approach to gaming. Machine Yearning launches September 12th.
What is Machine Yearning?
Players apply for a job normally handled by robots, facing a CAPTCHA designed to weed out human applicants. The game sharpens memory and processing skills, demanding 2005-level cognitive abilities.
Gameplay begins with associating words and shapes. Difficulty escalates, introducing more words and colors, requiring players to retain increasingly complex pairings.
Successfully completing the challenges allows players to customize their robotic workforce with a variety of hats, including archer, cowboy, and straw hats. See it in action:
