Job simulation game, also known as job simulator or job sim, is a genre of simulation video games revolving around doing mundane, often blue-collar tasks such as farming, driving and delivering packages, as opposed to the more high-level management found in business simulation games. While job simulation games existed for years in a more niche respect, the genre gained a higher profile following the 2019 release of post-apocalyptic delivery sim Death Stranding, an unusual AAA example that was critically praised. The 2020s saw an explosion of job simulation indie games, many overlapping with the cozy game genre. Many players of job simulators desire to vicariously experience the most satisfying aspects of jobs they do not have, or varied scenarios in jobs they do have.
