Job Simulator vs Shelter
Job Simulator
Job Simulator is a virtual reality game that has a really interesting and rather hilarious theme. Apparently, in the game world, every job has been replaced with a robot worker and for a human to learn what it was like "to have a job", a Job Simulator (this game) was created. However, being the whimsical game that it is, the game's depiction of what it is to job is very out of touch from the actual thing. There are up to four jobs for you to play as including the cubicle-dwelling office worker and the average fast food jobber.The game itself is not only incredibly entertaining to play; it also features some of the most advanced tech in the virtual reality industry to precisely track your every move, giving you the sort of realism, despite its obviously absurd theme, that you have never seen in other games (try juggling in the game and you'll see what we mean). So, if you have a virtual reality device (HTC Vive, PlaystationVR, Oculus Rift, etc), Job Simulator is a game you'll want to play.
Shelter
Shelter is truly a one-of-a-kind game where you'll get to play as a mother badger who's taking care of her newly-born cubs. Developed by Might and Delight, the game puts you on an exciting yet heartwarming adventure as you travel about with your cubs in tow in hopes of finding the perfect shelter to raise them. In your journey, you and your family will encounter lots of danger and it is up to you - the mama badger - to protect your cubs from harm, whether it is a raging forest fire or a bird of prey.Besides adventure, the game also comes with a second game mode called Nurture. It's a lot like a Tamagochi game where you'll need to head into the game every day (at least once) to give your cubs the stuff they need to survive and also to forge closer bonds with them.
This is one of the breakout indie games of 2013 but it's not the sort of game that will get old with age, so if you love games where you'll get to play as an animal and you enjoy a good story-adventure, then Shelter is your best bet!
