Our take on Online Simulator
The page frames the game as an online simulator, but the described play is a short work of interactive fiction centered on reading and exploring computer content. Its lack of a clear goal may make the experience feel less directed, despite the stated definitive ending.
What is Online Simulator?
Online Simulator is a dark comedy interactive fiction game about exploring an unfamiliar computer and piecing together a mystery involving an unconventional relationship, a drug, and a monkey.
Its computer environment contains chat logs, web pages, a dating game, and other interactive elements to investigate. There is no clearly defined goal, though the story has a definitive ending. A playthrough takes roughly an hour. The game uses mouse and keyboard controls, and Ctrl+R resets save data and restarts the game. It is presented as a simulation of going online, with the central activity focused on examining computer content and connecting clues rather than pursuing a stated objective.
