<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1M5kZNe">Job Simulator</a> has been an introduction to VR for many, with its wacky tasks that encourage players to experiment and push their assumptions about what is possible in a video game, and more specifically in VR.</p>

<p>During an experiment weekend at Owlchemy Labs&#8217; office, developer Zi Ye created an homage to <a href="http://ift.tt/10Ft6sN">Overwatch</a> in Job Simulator itself, replete with dual Reaper <del>shotguns</del> staplers (once one had been replicated in the Job Simulator&#8217;s famous in-game photocopier, that is), a frozen hotdog version of Mei&#8217;s ice wall, and a working representation of Widowmaker&#8217;s sniper rifle, made out of a bottle of grape juice, an &quot;I [heart] Job!&quot; mug, and tape.</p>
<p>The player uses these items to defend against an attack from stylized versions of Pharah, McCree, and Reinhardt, all inside the familiar Job Simulator office level.</p>
<p>When asked whether an Overwatch expansion would be coming to the retail release of Job Simulator, Ye said it was a personal project only. We assume licensing for actual Job Simulator Overwatch DLC would be… expensive.</p>
