Rideshare "Stimulator" is an Uber driver sim set in a city full of weirdos that I'm hoping is satirical enough to pull the concept off
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive clearly like to keep themselves busy, as today they've announced the next game that they're publishing. It's called Rideshare "Stimulator" (I should note those quotation marks are a part of the title), and it is essentially a game all about being an Uber driver for a city full of oddballs. Read more
Saber Interactive has unveiled their upcoming game, Rideshare Stimulator, a sim game that puts the player in the role of an Uber driver navigating a city teeming with peculiar individuals. As an Uber driver, players must pick up passengers and drop them off, all while adhering to traffic rules and potentially bending them for urgency.
A player's performance and care for their vehicle impacts their rating, reviews, and tips, with the latter being crucial as players are responsible for covering all repair and carwash expenses independently. Though the concept may appear a bit awkward given the exploitation and lack of appreciation associated with ride-sharing jobs, developer Unigine is approaching the idea satirically.
Passengers in the game exhibit unusual behavior, such as claiming exclusivity to aquariums or attributing control of traffic lights to birds. The game aims to highlight the potentially frustrating aspects of being an Uber driver, but it remains to be seen if this portrayal accurately reflects real-life experiences. The game's photorealistic visuals might not appeal to all sim game enthusiasts, but it seems to fit well with the target audience. No release date has been announced for Rideshare Stimulator yet.
