Unemployment Simulator 2018 uses the language of survival games to tell a bleak, relentless tale of depression and existential horror. At the same time, it’s full of eldritch whimsy, revelling in the abject misery of the modern job hunt with nihilistic abandon. As a labour of love from a solo dev, its rough technical edges and inconsistent controls can frustrate, and there’s no real satisfying narrative pay-off; however, as an atmospheric deep-dive into the human experience of unemployment under late-stage capitalism, it absolutely nails the brief.
