About This Game

Welcome to your first day on the job.

Game Dev Simulator is a story-driven VR experience where you play as a new employee at Mundane Interactive, a small game development studio.

A Full Virtual Desktop at Your Fingertips

Sit at your desk and interact with a fully functional desktop OS in VR. Browse emails, manage tasks, install games, surf the web, change your wallpaper, change your cursor, buy new music, and more — all through an intuitive VR mouse and keyboard. Your virtual office is packed with things to touch, grab, throw, and break.

Test the Games

As Mundane Interactive's newest QA tester, you'll play through a variety of very different games, ranging from funny, bizarre, heartfelt, creepy, rage enducing, or just downright terrible. Some of the games include:

  • Legend Of The Elder — A 2D adventure inspired by classic RPGs

  • Tithonus — A thought provoking constellation-connecting experience under the stars

  • Click & Run — An innovative 90s OS themed rogue-lite

  • 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 a confession out of the criminals

  • ...and more

Features

  • Fully interactive VR office — Grab, throw, and interact with everything on your desk

  • Multiple full mini-games — Each one a different genre with its own mechanics

  • Branching phone call system — Answer calls, make choices, and hear the story unfold

  • Email system — Read, reply, and download attachments that unlock new content
