New Quest Game from ‘Job Simulator’ Studio Surprise-launches This Week, Built Entirely Around Hand-tracking


Owlchemy Labs, the Google-owned studio behind Job Simulator (2016) and Vacation Simulator (2019), surprise announced its next VR title today, a hand-tracking-tastic social co-op game called Dimensional Double Shift. And you can get ready to multiplayer job this week.

Launching for free on Quest on September 26th, Dimensional Double Shift lets up to four players work at the Gas N’ Grill, an omnidimensional diner and service station owned by Conglomni Corp.

Promising to pack in the studio’s patent madcap humor and plenty of very human jobs, players work together to operate the service station and sling greasy bites to an eclectic array of creatures from all over the Omniverse.

“Players will cook, fix, refuel, incinerate, soak, and serve the bizarre citizens of each dimension, earning rewards and progressing in their career with corporate-approved Conglomni Corp. swag. Don’t waste any food — Conglomni Corp’s resident manager, ALICE, is always watching,” the studio says.

Moreover, you won’t need to pick up a controller, as Dimensional Double Shift is designed exclusively for hand-tracking, which Owlchemy has notably adopted across both Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator on Quest.

Following its open beta, which launches for free on Quest on this week, the studio says we should expect regular content drops, including more dimensions, gameplay activities, and features.

Owlchemy hasn’t shared whether it will eventually monetize the game at full launch, however confirms that beginning bits of the game will remain free for players.

The studio also hasn’t mentioned whether it will support more platforms beyond Quest in the future, highlighting however that it’s traditionally a “multiplatform studio.”

You can download the game for free over on the Horizon Store here once it goes live on Thursday, September 26th.
