About this gameFull description from Steam
The award winning tongue-in-cheek virtual reality experience that put the ‘fun’ in “funemployment” In a world where robots have replaced all human jobs, step into the "Job Simulator" to learn what it was like 'to job'. “Riotously funny” – Rock Paper Shotgun “The perfect demo for VR” – The Verge “It all felt natural and intuitive (and fun and ridiculous).” – Wired “I was grinning like a lunatic the whole time.” – The Telegraph “I never expected a video game … in which I grabbed a tomato (and threw it at a robot) to awe me so deeply. I … wanna play Job Simulator forever.” – IGN Welcome to JOB! Relive humanity’s glory days by simulating the irreverent ins-and-outs of being an office worker, a gourmet chef, a convenience store clerk, and more. Dream it, think it, try it – (almost) anything is possible! 💼 Learn to 'job' across a variety of not-so historically accurate recreations of work-life, before society was automated by robots! 🙌 Use your hands to stack, manipulate, throw, and smash physics objects in absurdly satisfying ways! 🪓 Show your leadership potential by throwing staplers at your boss! ☕ Aggressively chug coffee and eat questionable food from the trash! 👔 Gain invaluable life skills by firing quirky new employees, serving slushy treats, brewing a proper cup of tea, and ripping apart car engines with style! 🌙 NEW! Embrace the unending night shift with the wild and never-ending Infinite Overtime mode! Now Included: Infinite Overtime! Work the never-ending night shift with Infinite Overtime mode, a free content update to Job Simulator! Enjoy a dynamic, randomly generated workload while you grind for promotions – just like real life! Enjoy Social VR! Introducing a brand new way to allow players to share their experience! Check out Spectator Mode – a fun and easy way to jump into Social VR! It’s better ‘to job’ with friends – Twitch integration allows you to view, move, scale, and throw your chat in-game! VR for Everyone - No Excuses! Owlchemy Labs is an XR studio with a passion for polished, playful VR games and experiences. We love building experiences for everyone: oozing with style, absurdly funny, and with ground-breaking accessibility to bring more joy to more people. As part of this mission, we are proud to offer our players best-in-class accessibility options such as rich subtitles and broad language support for both Job Simulator and our Infinite Overtime game update.
