Chill Beach Simulator

Alright. [i]Chill Beach Simulator[/i] is what? The developer describes this as an "anti-game". This feels accurate. It's not a game. What it is, is a chill vibes idle program you run while you're doing other things, or maybe when you just want to catch some pleasant visuals for a little bit. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3685751833 There is commonality to something like Placid Plastic Duck Simulator, and both do have dynamic events that spruce up the experience. What this lacks that something like PPDS has though are hidden interactive events. In this program, there aren't any such things. Although there is always room to add some of course. So, you open this bad boy up, and a beer bottle becomes the center of your world. You can raise or lower the camera, swing it around the bottle, but the bottle will always be at the center of whatever angle you're enjoying. Which, the bottle is on a beach set in a little cove. To one side is a little church. And all around are cliffs. Plus, you can see out past the cove to the larger ocean. To some extent anyway. It's a pleasant setting. The explorer in me wishes I could have greater control over the cameras, but that's not the case here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3685751776 In addition to a few dynamic events tied to achievements, there is also a weather system that features thunderstorms, fog, and auroras depending on the time of day. And it does have a day/night cycle. These functionally give you a wider variety of visuals to enjoy from your limited perspective. So yeah, that's really this program in a nutshell. You'll definitely be able to generate some cool screenshots. Achievements will drop automatically as events or certain benchmarks are reached. At the time of this writing, four of the achievements haven't been earned by anyone. Of those four, two are time-based and will likely drop at some point for someone. Another is an event that doesn't seem to have been witnessed yet. And the final 0% cheevo doesn't appear functional at all. Although it's possible the trigger for this last one is anserine and/or simply not obvious. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3685751746 I think if you just want a chill idle program to enjoy while you're chillin' or doing other things, and especially if you have dual monitors, this is a pretty easy recommendation. If you need your Steam experience to be completely gamified though, then this isn't the one for you. Three bucks seems like a fair price of admission for this program.

I bought this as a joke. Now I'm emotionally attached to the beach. 8/10 would escape reality again
