Humanity

Humanity is a puzzle-platforming game with real-time strategy elements. Each stage is a unique puzzle where the player guides humans as an ethereal Shiba Inu to a goal. The player runs around the stage, with the crowd of humans mirroring their actions. The player can place actions at any point, which commands the humans to do a specific thing, such as turn, or shoot.

There are optional objectives in each level, where players can to collect giant gold beings. Later in the game, the player unlocks new directives like jump, dive or swim.

Humanity was developed by tha, a creative firm based in Japan that has worked on experimental art installations to a redesign of Tokyo's public toilets. ". Once the demo was created, tha presented it at the Unity Festival to a panel of judges, one of which was Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Following the presentation, Mizuguchi's studio/publishing outlet, Enhance started collaborating with tha.

Mizugiuchi later stated, "I felt like if I give this person the tools and resources to make a game, he already has the core sensibilities to do that. I saw in his mannerism and eyes that he was not going to give up on this opportunity."

Humanity received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator website Metacritic.

Eurogamer praised the way the title raised the stakes throughout the campaign, alongside the content offered outside of it, "there's a level editor, which is terrifyingly powerful, and a near-endless supply of user-made levels to work through, many of which require thinking that is utterly, hopelessly beyond me". The Verge enjoyed the variety of mechanics present, "Humanity's campaign spans 90 levels, and it feels like it's throwing new concepts and ideas at you until the very end".
