Human Resource Machine is another innovative game from Tomorrow Corporation, creators of World of Goo and Little Inferno - both well-received by the players and critics alike. Human Resource Machine combines logic elements with a rarely-seen story and unique graphics.
The players assume the role of an employee working for a respected corporation, who starts his journey up the corporate ladder from the very bottom. Each level symbolizes a year of work in which the has to complete various tasks assigned by his superiors. To achieve that, we have to program instructions and run automated processes that will complete the task, which can involve things like assembling puzzles with numerical values and creating their various combinations.
Human Resource Machine distinguishes itself not only with its unconventional idea, but also with a bit surrealistic graphics and the story it depicts. Although the plot is rather humorous, it does sometimes bring about a moment of reflection, as in the game, the humans struggle to keep their jobs in a world where machines are seen as a better option.
