Job Simulator is a new immersive virtual reality experience set in an arguably utopian future from developer Owlchemy Labs and one of the first games revealed for Valve’s SteamVR project.
Set in a future where automated society has made human occupations obsolete, the simulation challenges players with following instructions from the sentient “keeper of human history,” Job Bot, to learn how "to job."
“Robots cook, clean, service, and rule organize the world with precision and speed. Human occupations are now memories of the past; long gone are the blue collar jobs that ran the old world,” the game’s description reads. “Humans raised in our perfect automated society must not forget their useless ancient ancestors and history. This is why Job Bot was born. Job Bot created Job Simulator to teach humans what it is 'to job'. All praise to Job Bot, for he is the keeper of human history.”
Owlchemy Labs's participation in the SteamVR project was revealed during the HTC keynote at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The developer already has several other titles in its VR portfolio, such as Aaaaa! For the Awesome! for Oculus DK1, one of the first and most downloaded VR games on Steam. The roster also includes Aaaaaculus! and highest grossing mobile VR game Caaaaardboard!.
Smartphone manufacturer HTC announced at the conference today that it was working in partnership with Valve on a VR headset called Vive. The new device uses the SteamVR tracking technology and pairs with two SteamVR base stations.
Job Simulator will be playable at the Valve booth during the Games Developer Conference from March 4.
