Game Dev Simulator

Game Dev Simulator is a story-driven VR experience in which you play a new employee at Mundane Interactive, a small game development studio. As the studio’s newest QA tester, you play a range of very different games, from funny and bizarre to heartfelt, creepy, frustrating or simply terrible.

Your virtual office

At your desk, you can use a fully functional desktop operating system through a VR mouse and keyboard. You browse emails, manage tasks, install games, surf the web, change your wallpaper and cursor, and buy music. The office is filled with objects you can touch, grab, throw and break.

Games to test

The mini-games cover different genres and have their own mechanics. The examples include:

• Legend Of The Elder: a 2D adventure inspired by classic RPGs.
• Tithonus: a constellation-connecting experience under the stars.
• Click & Run: a rogue-lite themed around a 90s operating system.
• Gerbil Jam: a 3D rhythm game with multiple songs.
• Retro Racer: a throwback arcade racing game.
• Slap Game: a motion-control detective game where you slap confessions out of criminals.

Tasks and story

You can complete more than 50 main and side tasks, with hidden challenges scattered throughout the office. A branching phone-call system lets you answer calls and make choices as the story unfolds. You can also read and reply to emails, and download attachments that unlock new content. Cliphead, your desktop mascot, appears with commentary on what you do.
