This is a port/wrapper of Human Resource Machine for the PS Vita.

The port functions by loading the official Android ARMv7 executable into memory and resolving its imports with native functions, followed by patching it to ensure proper functionality. This essentially creates a minimalist Android environment, allowing the executable to run natively.

Note: To use this wrapper, you must have a legally acquired copy of Human Resource Machine for Android v.1.0.5, as it is the last version that includes an ARMv7 build.

About The Game

Human Resource Machine is a puzzle game designed for those who love to solve complex problems. Each level presents a new challenge from your boss, which you must automate by programming your little office worker. Successfully completing a level will lead to a promotion and another year of work in the vast office building.

No prior programming experience is necessary to enjoy this game, as programming is essentially puzzle-solving. Strip away the scary symbols and coding jargon, and programming is actually quite simple, logical, and even beautiful. Anyone can understand and have fun with it! If you're already an expert, there will be extra challenges to test your skills.
