Machine Yearning, the debut game from the innovative American studio Tiny Little Keys, presents players with a unique challenge: taking on jobs typically reserved for robots. Founded by Daniel Ellis, a former Google Machine Learning Engineer and passionate gamer, Tiny Little Keys is set to release this brain-bending game on September 12th.

What Exactly Is Machine Yearning?

In Machine Yearning, players apply for a job traditionally held by robots, where they must outsmart an advanced captcha system designed to identify and thwart human attempts at deception. The game promises to enhance your cognitive skills, pushing your memory and processing abilities to match those of a 2005-era computer.

The gameplay starts with simple tasks, linking words to shapes. As you progress, the challenge intensifies, requiring you to remember these links while juggling an increasing array of words and colors.

One of the fun perks of mastering Machine Yearning is the ability to customize your robots with a variety of hats, including archer hats, cowboy hats, and even straw hats. Get a sneak peek of the game in action below!
