Skip it if you…

- Players who prefer short, simple sessions over a campaign of more than 60 logic challenges
- Players looking for a single-worker programming format like Human Resource Machine
Our take on 7 Billion Humans
Coordinating many workers adds a layer of parallel logic, but it also makes the puzzles less direct than a single-worker programming format. The design favors planning commands across a group over more immediate, individually controlled problem solving.
What is 7 Billion Humans?
Automate groups of office workers as they tackle programming puzzles in a human-powered computer.
More than 60 levels introduce a language that lets multiple workers run instructions at the same time, unlike the single-worker approach of Human Resource Machine. The game teaches its programming concepts as players progress and includes hints and skip options for difficult puzzles. It also features story cutscenes, a soundtrack by Kyle Gabler, and language support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian. The puzzles focus on coordinating workers and building instructions that operate across a group rather than on a lone employee.
