About the Game

HUMAN ERROR is all about blending in. The humans are disguised as ordinary worker robots, moving through a bright, sterile factory of identical machines. Your job is to look like just another unit: complete your tasks, follow orders, and imitate the robots around you until your shift is over and you can sneak out.

------------------------

Three ways to play:

Hide as a Worker - As a human you have taken control of a worker bot that you crawled inside of. Don't ask how you control it. That's future stuff. You are surrounded by machines, but try to keep it together. Do your tasks, keep the battery charged up, and when the Supervisor barks an order, respond like a robot would, on time in the right voice, and without missing a beat. One slow reaction is all it takes. Do. Not. Get. Caught.

Command as the Supervisor - You patrol the floor giving orders and testing units. To find out who is human, you have to read behavior. Who paused a beat too long? Who took the wrong route? Who fumbled the response? Just remember, you have a limited number of decommission authorizations, and every innocent machine you scrap is one you can't take back.

Disrupt as the Inspector - From above the floor, the inspector observes. Spend credits on chaos like blackouts, EMP bursts, charger shorts, and more to rattle the workers and flush out the human hiding among them.

------------------------

This is not a voting game
There are no meetings and there are no ballots. Humans are caught only by direct observation and testing. If you want to survive, you're going to have to actually act like a machine.
