Can machines think? This is the question posed by Alan Turing’s 1950 paper Computer Machinery and Intelligence. Turing believed that by the year 2000, our understanding of computers would have evolved to the point where machines could think, work out problems, and be able to imitate a human. As of today, Turing’s predictions might not have all come true, but humans are sometimes duped in small ways everyday, not least through the many online chat and help bots that make you think you’re talking to a human.

What does it mean to be human in a world in which machines can imitate humans? Where does the human component begin and end? What does the human component even consist of? Bulkhead Interactive’s The Turing Test explores these questions.

At its core, The Turing Test is a first-person puzzle game in which you explore a research base on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. The puzzles are supposedly designed in such a way so as to make them impossible for a computer to solve. Only a human mind can unlock them, thus setting up a potential answer for the riddle of what it means to be human.
