Owlchemy Games' Job Simulator is one of my favorite games to play using HTC Vive -- and the weird, hilarious, Kwik-E-Mart-esque convenience store job is exactly why. The original kitchen demo had me making soups and sandwiches and microwaving butcher knives as I explored the possibilities of a tiny kitchen. The convenience store job is a bit more in-depth, at least in terms of quirky opportunity.

The teaser trailer shows the sort of silly fun Owlchemy is having with its first-person VR game. Job Simulator Take a look at the first teaser for the convenience store, and the dumb-fun things you can get up to, below.I took a cola bottle, shook it, and it went spiraling throughout the store wildly. I super-sized another bottle on a machine that doubles the size of every object, and the monstrous bottle tore around the store, bounced off of robot customers, and legitimately made me duck when it came flying toward my face. It's that sort of stuff that makes this kind of small game work well in VR. The base gameplay objective -- scanning and bagging customers' items -- is the anchor for jokes. Fun encounters with, say, a burglar holding up the place, mix up the deliberate monotony of almost-literally doing a job.Job Simulator is all about that -- giving you something mundane to do in a bizarre VR world and then giving you the tools to make an absolute mess of it, to interact with its characters in unexpected ways, and to make super-sized robot-nudie-mags you can throw into the street.For more on Vive, Job Simulator, and all things VR, stay tuned to IGN.
