7 Billion Humans is finally released (on win/mac/linux anyway!), the dust is settling, and we’re just now crawling out of our launch caves to take a break and see what happened…
The first big surprise was reaching the top 7 on Steam! Don’t they know this is a programming game for nerds? We’re just happy to be at the party, even if we’re the shy kid in the corner:
The 7BH Steam community has also emerged as a friendly and helpful place to seek hints and advice. A few enterprising players have put together some comprehensive guides for advanced players working on the optional optimization challenges:
One of the more thorough playthroughs we’ve seen so far, this brave fellow plays for 5 hours, and does really well. Useful for anyone who’s stuck on a puzzle or wants to see more about how the gameplay works:
At least one person likes our dumb plots!
And our dumb jokes!
For anyone looking for an extra challenge… We collected over 25,000 solutions during the closed beta, and used them to come up with the optional OCD challenges you see in each level. Here are a bunch of graphs and stats for each level, showing distribution, OCD, and best known scores: 7 Billion Humans Puzzle Stats
Someone noticed our crusade for Oxford commas. The correct, unambiguous, and only acceptable way to delimit a list:
We’ve already released one update so far, about 12 hours after launch, based on player feedback. You can now force subtitles to appear if you’re playing in English. And you can now disable the subtle camera bob that was making a few players feel motion sick. Here’s how to do both! And we’ve got a bunch more fixes ready for the next update, which we hope to release early this week.
This week, we’ll also be wrapping up the Nintendo Switch version, and continuing to monitor the various social sites for feedback and any bug reports. Let us know anything you find, and thanks as always for your support!
The game is really awesome!
I have one question: is the files on Humble Bundle for the soundtracks correct? They all seem to be one file for the whole soundtrack but come out as an unknown file type.
I believe they should be zip files, containing mp3 or ogg or flac files. Are you seeing something else?
I cannot see any extension, so it just becomes an unknown file. I found out that opening it with 7-Zip works.
I think also the Steam version has the soundtrack in its folder.
Stop calling yourself dumb, I don’t like it
And Tom Smith, stop calling them dumb, I don’t like it

I’ve been watching the playthroughs for 7BH and it looks like a very entertaining game. I love the plot, and the jokes and dialogue are so clever and made me laugh.
Soooo … if I beat a challenge in 8 moves, and the shortest known solutions on https://tomorrowcorporation.com/7billionhumansStats/#13_InjectionSites2 was 9
… where do I brag or update the stats 😉
Btw, I’ll let my 8 years old test the game to see if you can “learn” basics programming from it, I’m curious how he’ll take the challenges.
Loved the game btw ! only a few levels in but I can’t wait to find the hardest challenges.
Awesome! The best place to post your solution for now seems to be the Steam forum here:https://steamcommunity.com/app/792100/discussions/
I have found a translation mistake in the game.
In the Chinese version, “else” was translated into “其他” whitch means “something else ” . It should be translated into “否则”.
Please fix it.
Thanks for the catch! We have fixed it, and will include it with the next update.
I am glad to see the game doing great! I loved it very much!
Woot woot!
Switch version soon yes, please
it’s going to change everything!
i love you guys but do you have a discord?
I’m a huge fan of human resource machine, and want to buy this game as soon as possible.
However, I want the portability of the Switch version.
I couldn’t resist watching the first few levels on Youtube.
When can we expect it in the Nintendo E-shop?
I hope you will release an Android build as well, like you did for HRM.
DRM-free would be even better (I only purchase from the Humble Store).
Tomorrow Corporation’s games are always DRM-free
Is there any way to generate the stats page with your own particular stats marked in red against the general ones?

Looking foward for iPad version.
Yes, an iPad version would be great. I’ve been playing HRM with my daughter on iPad, and she loves it and is learning a lot.
It was just my birthday and I’m just now hearing about this….so is there an iPad version in the near future? That would just make my day!!!
please please make steam cloud
please make leaderboards
i made some records and want to show off
I’m calling it now: 7 billion humans will be released with the nintendo direct tomorrow.
You might not be wrong…
After finishing “Welcome to the Information Superhighway”, you will make a World of Goo 2 or World of Goo remake, won’t you? Please do, I loved that game so much and I would love to see it in HD with better art, puzzles and everything!
Have I missed an update on when we might expect a Switch release? I can’t wait!

Hey guys of tomorrow,
any news on the Switch version. Haven’t seen any more information ever since official launch more than a month ago.
All the best,
ArchonHD
Definitely wondering what’s happening with the Switch version of the game. Would love to play it on the go.
Please give some information about the Switch release
Hey, this is off-topic, but it’s the only way I know of to ask this. Is there any way to play Robot And The Cities That Built Him? Everything that isn’t related to World of Goo seems to have disappeared from 2DBoy.com
Hey Dan the Squid, good question. This game stopped working a few years ago, and I’ve been meaning to get it up again ever since. Still on my todo list, but no ETA!
I just bought Little Inferno for my Kindle Fire and I’ve been having a blast playing it. I swear I could smell gasoline and woodsmoke while playing it!
