I’m talking more along the lines of, having simulator games where you work in a supermarket and you get to cause as much mayhem as possible. Not in terms of just simply killing, but more like, being a very disgruntled worker in a very annoyingly noisy environment with shitty customers. That game doesn’t exist to me and I wish it would.
Instead, we get more simulator games where you’re at the service of the people. That’s going backwards, if you ask me.
Also, I don’t remember asking for armchair psychologists to come here and start dropping unasked thoughts about how to best relieve stress. Check those at the door.
I like Mini Motorways in creative mode for this purpose. You design road systems to connect houses with businesses using limited resources. The music is very peaceful and the pastel colours are very pleasant on the eye. While the other modes are a bit more stressful, creative mode is like a simplified city builder.
And of course the perennial favourite, Stardew Valley.
It always bothers me that red houses only ever want to go to red buildings and that you can just leave a lot of the houses completely unconnected to the road system you built. But making a slightly more realistic traffic simulator would probably be a lot more complicated and a lot less fun.
