![]() The player is asked to select one of four jobs to participate in, those being Office Worker, Store Clerk, Auto Mechanic, and Gourmet Chef, although it’s clear immediately that the floating computer monitors running the museum only have a vague idea of what human jobs were actually like. Job Simulator, sometimes subtitled “The 2050 Archives”, plays off the rising popularity of simulator-type games to make a comical scenario where robots have become so efficient they have entirely supplanted humanity and wish to experience the banal professions of human beings by way of an interactive museum. This has lead to some of the early VR titles essentially being toy boxes, and Job Simulator feels like an excellent example of that style of game. As virtual reality begins to find its footing as a legitimate way to experience a video game rather than the hokey gimmickry it once was, it still has a few hurdles to overcome, that being the early period where people need to feel out how to develop in a space where the player can view and interact with a world that exists all around them.
