Robots' Rise: Embracing Humanity in Machine Yearning

Machine Yearning: A Brain-Teasing Robot Job Simulator Launching September 12th

This isn't your average human job; it's a mind-bending challenge from Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning. Step into the robotic workforce and prove your human superiority in a world dominated by machines.

Tiny Little Keys, an American studio founded by former Google Machine Learning Engineer and lifelong gamer Daniel Ellis, is bringing us this unique experience. Mark your calendars – Machine Yearning arrives September 12th.

What is Machine Yearning?

In Machine Yearning, you'll tackle a job typically reserved for robots: outsmarting a CAPTCHA system designed to foil human attempts at infiltration. Prepare to put your memory and processing skills to the test – the game aims for at least a 2005-era level of cognitive performance!

The gameplay starts with simple word-shape pairings. As you progress, the difficulty escalates, introducing more words, colors, and complex associations to remember.

Master the challenge, and you'll earn the right to customize your robotic workforce with an array of stylish hats – archers' hats, cowboy hats, straw hats, and more! Check out the gameplay trailer below:

Originally showcased at Ludum Dare, a prominent indie game jam, Machine Yearning won top prizes for "most fun" and "most innovative." Learn more on the game's official website.

Machine Yearning launches September 12th on Android and is free to play. While it might not actually transform your brain into a supercomputer (we're kidding!), it's sure to provide a stimulating and entertaining experience. Don't forget to check out our other gaming news!
