Job Simulator is a virtual reality game that simulates different job functions. It was developed and published by Owlchemy Labs for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4.

Virtual Reality Gameplay

Simulation games have always been popular. Virtual reality (VR) has given a new outlet to this genre of games. Job Simulator takes full advantage of the VR environment to create a fulfilling experience for the players. The gameplay is quirky and fun.

In the game, you can work in 4 different jobs — store clerk, office worker, chef, and car repairman. While completing your job functions, you can explore non-job-related areas of the environment to uncover funny things.

Each job is designed to take up 15 minutes. But you can keep exploring and take much longer to finish your tasks. The game developers have used their creativity to put in tricks and items in the environment that are nonessential to the objectives of the game. So you can open a cupboard or a drawer and discover fascinating pieces of information or items.

Fulfill Your Quirky Work Fantasies

The job environment gives you the opportunity to enact some of your crazy work fantasies. How about hurling coffee mugs at the computer screens in your office or promoting yourself to a higher position? Or if you are bored as a convenient store clerk, you can start shooting the merchandise using firecrackers or you can get robbed. As a chef, try out weird food concoctions. You can also put weird concoctions in the cars as a repairman. Overall, you can have a lot of fun experimenting.

The environment also has great responses. If you put dishwasher soap in the soda, different customers react differently after drinking your sud-inducing soda. The drawers and cabinets often spring funny surprises at you. Also, the office computers have faces to express emotions to your shenanigans.

The downside of the game is that the content is limited. You are done with the game in a short period of time. And some of the jokes seem repetitive across the jobs.

Conclusion

Job Simulator provides a funny and heartwarming simulation experience that will give you a few hours of humorous gameplay. However, the lack of content might make you wonder if the game is on the expensive side. Virtual reality enthusiast will still enjoy this game because it is one of the better offerings in the market for now.
