Description
About This Game
From one logic gate to a computer.
IT THINKS! is a hands-on hardware puzzle game about discovering how computers grow. Place parts, draw wires, watch signals move, and prove each design on a live test bench. Your first component is NAND: a tiny logic gate with two inputs and one decision. From there, your designs grow into arithmetic, memory, a programmable processor, parallel cores, matrix multiplication, and finally a chip that recognizes your handwritten digits.
Build it. Test it. Ship it.
- Complete 36 handcrafted contracts across six eras, from a small workshop to an AI lab.
- Turn working circuits into reusable chips and build a catalogue of components you designed yourself.
- Program the hardware you built with a compact assembly language and run the same kernel across many cores.
- Balance real architectural trade-offs such as area, ticks, memory bandwidth, power, and parallel efficiency.
- Learn at your own pace with optional hints, the Master's Notebook, and skip tests for concepts you already know.
- Make every solution yours with exportable die views and looping GIF captures.
No electrical-engineering background is required. Build by doing, inspect what happened, and improve the machine one clear step at a time.
Language support at launch: The interface, tutorials, and all in-game text will be available in all 15 languages listed on the store page.
