unless your game title is sarcastic, having it end in "simulator" is a guarantee that your game is shit

this rule also applies to any game that has more than one management game word at the end of its title
and also any country that has "democratic" or "republic" in its name
oh hey it's that game that had the developer who threw a tantrum because Valve wouldn't let them have their logo be a woman's naked ass and also not have the game be marked as adult
a lot of these have missing genAI disclaimers which means the developer lied to Valve in the content survey and then Valve didn't go "hang on that looks suspicious" at all
This one is some kind of genAI slop recreation of 2% of Prison Architect
or maybe like 3% of RimWorld? which was in turn copied from Prison Architect
we've got "internet explorer with a virus" levels of toolbars going on on this page by the way
desperately going through these to try to find one that's good enough for me to even bother downloading the demo
there was some kind of bakery game that was kind of cute but I played the entire demo and from the looks of it there wasn't much game beyond that

might be interesting if the game was like ten times the size of the demo rather than (what it appears to be) 1.5x
wow there are so many genAI slop clones of the world's most popular asset flip
in a world where not everything is shit this would be a comedy game where you do all the boring parts of owning a business and having a human body
you know, supernatural stuff. zombies. vampires. werewolves. those robots that build cars.
literally "the assets we could find on the asset store"
why are there so many of these
found another one with double names
also why is shenpai in your logo
screenshots of this one are all that Claude Code html/css template that every shitty "incremental game" on itch.io made by someone who doesn't know what an incremental game is uses
so many of these games would be My Shit if they weren't just regular shit
hey buddy why'd you do that
you could have literally just not done that
so many double management suffix football simulators this next fest
I think this developer doesn't know what a baby is
hey buddy that's not how game demos or game development works
found one that does not appear to be slop
what were you trying to do when you kept spelling the word contraband after you finished
do you think this game developer knows what HRT stands for
oh hang on I just zoomed in that's a lesbian flag this game may have been made on purpose
so many games with completely fucked tonemapping
do game engines not just... do tonemapping by default? why is everything so dark
oh yeah that's definitely how football cards look
it's showing me the same games over and over now
I guess I ran out of management games
I've never seen a restaurant simulator where customers can ask for customized orders before
this one goes on the wishlist
hang on why does the market screen say jumbo shrimp costs $191.50
how big are these shrimp
"job simulator" and "surgeon simulator" are good and the titles are sarcastic
for examples of the other direction see the steam next fest page
