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.
