About Job Simulator
Job Simulator is a tongue‑in‑cheek VR experience where robots have taken over all human work. Players step into exaggerated recreations of jobs—office worker, chef, convenience store clerk, and more—using hand motions to manipulate physics objects. The game is praised for its humor, intuitive interactions, and absurdly satisfying object handling. A free update adds Infinite Overtime, a randomly generated night‑shift mode, and Social VR features like Spectator Mode and Twitch integration.
01 / THE GUIDE
Variety of Jobs
The core experience offers a variety of job simulations, including office work, gourmet cooking, and convenience store service, with more roles teased in promotional material. Each setting is a playful, not historically accurate, recreation of a workplace before robot automation. Players use their hands to stack, throw, and smash objects, creating comedic moments unique to each job.
The design encourages experimentation—grabbing a tomato to hurl at a robot, throwing staplers at your boss, or chugging coffee—highlighting the absurd freedom within each simulated environment.
- Try interacting with every object; the physics engine often yields unexpected humor.
- Observe how each job’s props differ; this can inspire new ways to ‘job’ within the same setting.

Infinite Overtime Mode
Infinite Overtime is a free content update that adds a never‑ending night‑shift experience. Workloads are generated dynamically, giving players a continuous stream of tasks to complete for promotions, mirroring a satirical take on real‑life overtime.
The mode is included with the base game and does not require additional purchase, offering a fresh challenge beyond the standard job simulations.
- Use the mode to explore how task variety changes over time.
- Watch for patterns in the random generation; they can help plan efficient “grind” sessions.

Accessibility Options
Owlchemy Labs emphasizes inclusive design, offering rich subtitles and broad language support for both the base game and the Infinite Overtime update. These options aim to make the experience enjoyable for a wide audience.
The game’s VR‑only nature is complemented by these accessibility features, ensuring that players with different needs can still engage fully.
- Enable subtitles if you find audio cues hard to follow.
- Check language settings to match your preferred reading language.

Platform and Controller Support
Job Simulator runs on Windows with VR support and tracked controller compatibility. It is listed as VR‑Only, meaning the experience requires a virtual‑reality headset and compatible controllers.
Additional Steam features include achievements, trading cards, and family sharing, but the core gameplay remains single‑player.
- Ensure your VR headset is properly calibrated for accurate hand tracking.
- Explore Steam’s achievement list for optional goals.

Social VR Features
Job Simulator now supports Social VR through Spectator Mode, allowing friends to join the experience as observers. Twitch integration lets viewers see, move, scale, and even throw chat messages in‑game, adding a communal layer to the humor.
These features aim to make “jobbing” more enjoyable with friends, turning the single‑player title into a shared spectacle.
