Job Simulator: Human Relations Preview: You No Longer Need to Have VR on Your Resume to Play

Job Simulator: Human Relations is a new non-VR version of the popular comedic multiplayer workplace sim that is played on a regular ol’ flat-screen monitor. Although ironically, your character is an anthropomorphized CRT monitor, walking around each floor of the company office building and trying to manage the increasingly more insane things happening around you.

Job Simulator: Human Relations Preview: You No Longer Need to Have VR on Your Resume to Play

Job Simulator: Human Relations offers a non-VR version of the popular VR workplace simulation game, allowing players to experience the comedic office environment without the need for VR technology. The game can accommodate up to four players and is set in a traditional office setting with cubicles, a kitchen, a break room, and the boss's office. Players must complete various job objectives, such as scanning documents, signing them off, and uploading them to the "cloud."

As players progress through different floors of the office building, they face increasingly challenging tasks, such as extinguishing fires in a server room. To do this, they can use hats that grant special abilities, like a water backpack for spraying flames or a whirly-bird hat for leaping high to reach items out of reach. Players can also customize their CRT bots with cosmetic upgrades and earn in-game currency to use for these enhancements.

Despite its transition away from VR, Job Simulator: Human Relations retains its whimsical and low-stakes fun, making it an accessible and entertaining option for players who want to experience the series without the need for VR. The game emphasizes teamwork and offers a unique, enjoyable way to spend time with friends, making it a welcome addition to the gaming landscape.
