A junior data clerk in ChicagoHow to play an office worker in LifeSim
- Describe your office worker in the text box with a name, age, job title, and city.
- Edit your cast to set up your boss, cubicle neighbors, and family members.
- Write your daily to-do list and talk to coworkers in person or by text message.
- Search the real 3D map for a café or park and plan an outing after work.
Life outside the cubicle on evenings and weekends
Most office jobs run on a predictable weekday schedule from Monday to Friday. That leaves your evenings, weekends, and public holidays free for life outside of work. You can use place search to find a café for your midday lunch break with work friends.
After you finish work at the end of the day, the real 3D city map is open to you. You can start a group text thread with coworkers to plan an outing to a park or restaurant. Happenings also appear on the map, such as karaoke, birthday drinks, or a house party.
Office politics, long meetings, and work stress
Desk jobs bring mental fatigue from overflowing email inboxes, repetitive tasks, and long meetings. Sitting for eight hours also causes lower back pain, stiff necks, and eye strain from screens. Your health and cash change based on your daily activities and chats.
You can play out office politics and passive-aggressive communication in your own words. If you accidentally send a snarky reply-all email, your boss and coworkers remember it. You can also investigate who is stealing lunches from the shared breakroom refrigerator or compete for a sunny desk.
Real cities for a corporate office life
Name any city in your character description, and the game puts you on its real streets. In New York City, you can work in Midtown Manhattan near JPMorgan Chase or in the Financial District near Wall Street. In London, office workers commute to the historic Square Mile or the modern skyscrapers of Canary Wharf.
Tokyo offers the life of a salaryman in Marunouchi, Otemachi, or Shinjuku, where companies hire new graduates every spring. You can also pick Chicago for the Willis Tower in The Loop, or Frankfurt for the banks of Mainhattan. In Bangalore, millions of workers handle global IT at campuses in Electronic City and Whitefield.
A sample life: a data clerk in Chicago
Marcus, 26, starts his life as a junior data clerk in Chicago. He sets a daily to-do list to finish his spreadsheet deliverables and ask his boss about a sunny desk. At noon, a coworker texts him to touch base over lunch near the Willis Tower.
On Friday afternoon, Marcus and a rival coworker stay late to find a missing decimal point in an audit. They talk in person, order food, and figure out who took money from the petty cash account. On Saturday, they meet at a park for a pickup game, and the day recap saves the memory.
