1. Potato Please

   

   A first-person job sim about peeling a mountain of potatoes for the army, one spud at a time. Start with a shaky hand and a dull knife, work your way up to machines, conveyors and a crane, and discover that a dystopian potato depot has more story than it lets on. Calm, repetitive and quietly funny.
