You may have seen games from European PC game publisher Excalibur Publishing before, responsible for mundane transportation sims like German Truck Simulator, Forklift Truck Simulator and Bus Simulator 2. But Excalibur may have outdone itself this time with the arrival of Garbage Truck Simulator, its latest release.
Garbage Truck Simulator puts you in control of "a small business collecting the rubbish of a large European tow," that lets you "Dive into the cab of your truck and become the driver and take your colleague quickly but safely to the collection area, of course pay attention to the road traffic regulations!" That's a genuine exclamation point.
But it's the press release that makes the experience sound so soul-crushing.
"Drive the ultra-realistic garbage truck from task to task as you strive to generate an income," reads the press release. "Domestic and industrial waste, building rubble and even dangerous chemical disposal are all in a day's work!" So draining...
Here's the press release in full, should you have an itch that can only be scratched with strict, budget priced labor sims.
