Some, like Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto and Forza Horizon recreate virtual versions of familiar places.
Video games mirror and magnify this built environment in different ways. Our homes, offices, shopping malls, cathedrals, stations, bridges and even public toilets have all been designed. We spend our lives in buildings every day. Whether it’s collaborating to identify and store stock in Wilmot’s Warehouse or getting the furniture into the van neatly in Moving Out, how we work together and treat the people around us is important. Then there are games that make us aware of our co-workers. Like the game Good Job encourages us to do. This might be conversations with customers, but also the other people we work with in the office or workplace we find ourselves in. Other games, like Coffee Talk and Neo Cab help us consider the people we serve at work.
Trying to manage crunch time with Going Under, or not succumbing to Tom Nook’s invitation for ever bigger mortgages in Animal Crossing, there are lots of games that can help us find some balance. Whether it’s escaping for a lunchtime walk with A Short Hike. Some address the world of work directly, while others enable us to consider our choices about how we spend our working hours. But not only to get some distance, but to play something that shines a light on why we do what we do. The games in this list offer space to reflect and escape work for a while. Most recent is their Level Up campaign that challenges businesses within the video games industry to unite and commit to change.

The Safe In Our World charity addresses this world of work and video games to foster positive mental health wellbeing and deliver support for players, developers, publishers and retailers. Not, that is, unless you work in the video game industry. Video games and work don’t usually go together.
