About I Am Not A Robot
I Am Not A Robot is a satirical point-and-click simulator from indie developer Nilapos. Released in February 2026, it tasks you with solving captchas to prove you’re human, while secretly training a bot to automate the process. The game leans into its ironic premise, blending absurd humor with incremental upgrades. Set in a minimalist digital world, it’s all about clicking checkboxes, sorting images, and watching your bot evolve. Designed for PC, it’s a single-player affair with no multiplayer or complex story. At its heart, it’s a meta-commentary on automation and the absurdity of modern tech, wrapped in a quick 3, 5 hour experience.
Gameplay
You start by solving basic captchas, selecting traffic lights, avoiding checkboxes. Early progress feels tedious, but soon you unlock a bot that mimics your actions. The core loop shifts to tweaking the bot’s logic, like adjusting sensitivity or teaching it to recognize patterns. Each captcha type introduces new mechanics, such as drag-and-drop or image sequencing. Controls are mouse-driven, with a clean UI that prioritizes simplicity. A typical session involves alternating between manual solving and bot optimization, tracking efficiency stats. The game’s humor comes from watching your bot fail in increasingly ridiculous ways. There’s no combat or exploration, just incremental upgrades and a growing sense of irony as your creation outperforms you.

One review: "A hilarious 3-hour gag, but doesn’t stick around long enough to land its jokes." Achievements are minimal, only 8, with 92% of players earning 6 on average. The game’s Steam page shows a 79% positive rating, with players split on whether the humor offsets the simplicity.
PlayPile's Take
I Am Not A Robot is a niche pick for fans of absurd humor and incremental gameplay. Priced at $14.99, it’s a low-risk buy if the premise amuses you. The bot-training mechanics are clever but repetitive, and the short length might feel underwhelming. If you’ve ever raged at captchas or enjoy self-aware satire, this is your speed. Skip it if you want depth or replayability. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a brisk, cheeky experiment that nails its gimmick, even if the bot ends up doing all the work.
