Machine Yearning

Machine Yearning works through linking words to shapes (defining), and then remembering the link later (verifying), thereby creating your own language. You're applying to a job for robots, as a human. To stand any chance of getting the job, you'll have to bypass a captcha system, which is designed to catch out conniving human applicants.  Initially, simple tasks grow more perplexing as the number of words grows and even more so when colors are added. Eventually, the job application becomes a task fit for only the most state-of-the-art robots out there… and you? Solve captchas to prove you're a robot — but there's a catch. You're making up the language as you go! Just make sure you remember it…

  • Authentic Application – Take a glimpse into the fascinating robot job market and see how you would compete on the career ladder leaderboard.
  • Update Your Brain – Regularly playing Machine Yearning has been proven to update human brains to at least a 2005-era memory and processing speed.
  • An Eye-catching Resume – Machine Yearning was originally conceived at Ludum Dare – the world's most well-known game jam. With the help of its human developer, it won #1 most fun and #1 most innovative!
