I'm not sure what prompted me to click on the trailer for Ship Graveyard Simulator (coming soon from Games Incubator). Perhaps is was the weird-as-hell premise. I mean, there are sim games for just about everything, and some of them - Bus Simulator, for example - end up breaking through the the mainstream (or at least the edges of the mainstream). But Ship Graveyard Simulator is so niche, so oddly specific, that I just had to check it out and see what was up.
Turns out, Ship Graveyard Simulator is all about chopping stuff up, smashing stuff, tearing stuff apart, and making that sweet, sweet cash money. Who knew? It looks like players enter derelict ships with a bunch of real-world equipment, and then do their best to dismantle them for scrap. I don't know, it actually seems kinda cool.
Here's what Games Incubator has to say about their new game:
"Ship Graveyard Simulator gives the player an opportunity to visit the largest ship graveyard in the world. A dozen kilometers of beach filled with wrecks. Hundreds of ships wrecked on the coast. Thousands of tons of steel. You can choose the most valuable ship and start the adventure. You can play as one of the workers during [sp] the most dangerous work in the world. Cut, hit, weld! Dismantle the whole ship and sell the obtained parts and upgrade your equipment."
There are certainly worse ways to spend your time. Like pretending to drive a bus.
No release date for Ship Graveyard Simulator has been announced, but you can wishlist the game on Steam here.
