Machine Yearning: A Brain-Twisting Robot Job Simulator from Tiny Little Keys

Prepare for a mind-bending challenge unlike any other! Tiny Little Keys' debut game, Machine Yearning, throws you into the robotic workforce. Can you prove your human skills are superior 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 this unique title to market on September 12th.

What is Machine Yearning?

Machine Yearning tasks you with a job usually reserved for robots: outwitting a CAPTCHA system designed to identify humans. The game pushes your memory and processing speed to their limits, aiming for at least 2005-level performance.

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

Master the challenges, and you'll unlock a stylish reward: a wide array of hats to adorn your robotic colleagues! Think archer hats, cowboy hats, and even straw hats. See it in action:
